The Pertemps Final Handicap Hurdle is the final event of a series of qualifying hurdles races run over the National Hunt season, and the long distance handicap hurdle highlight of the Cheltenham Festival.
2024 Pertemps Final Preview
The field for the 2024 Pertemps Final is wide open with no horse emerging as a clear favouritre for the race.
The nominal favourite is Le Milos, who has not won over hurdles for several years, but whose experience over fences, including a 10th place in the Grand National last season, is counted in his favour.
Cleatus Poolaw is next in markets. He looks a stronger contender, having finished in the top two in every one of his four hurdle races to date, winning once, with all his racing to date done in Ireland.
For the rest there is not much to separate the entries in this large field. On form alone Cuthbert Dibble stands out, coming off three consecutive wins, most recently a Pertemps hurdle race run at Haydock in February.

About the Pertemps Final
The Pertemps Final is a Grade 3 handicap hurdles race run on the third day of the Cheltenham Festival. The race is run over a distance of 3 miles on the New Course and features 12 hurdles. Entry is open to 5-year-old and above hurdlers.
The Pertemps Final is one of the richer handicap races at the Cheltenham Festival, and acts as the conclusion of several qualifying races that take place in Ireland and the UK earlier in the season. A win in the race is typically the highlight of a handicap hurdler’s career.
With entries coming off trial races over similar distances, you have some helpful form information to work off when picking a Pertemps Hurdle winner. Typically the winner will have placed in the top four in recent races, and horses with wins last time out should come under consideration, especially if the win was over 3 miles.
A number of recent winners have placed on heavier ground in races over comparable distances before winning over faster ground at Cheltenham, so look out for quality horses who could have been hampered by conditions last time out.
While the betting markets rarely pick a winner, they have marked a good margin for winners, and you can focus on horses priced 14/1 or lower if you’re looking for a shortcut.
