Prestige Novices' Hurdle
The Prestige Novices' Hurdle is a Grade 2 National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Haydock Park over a distance of about 3 miles and 1 furlong (5,029 metres), and during its running there are twelve hurdles to be jumped. The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year in February.
The event was transferred to its present venue in 2001, having been held previously at Chepstow. Its distance at Haydock was initially 2 miles and 7½ furlongs. It was extended to 3 miles in 2008, and to its current length in 2009. The race is now sponsored by the vegetable growing company Albert Bartlett.
