The Novices Handicap Hurdle is a class one handicap race run on the first day of the Cheltenham Festival. The race is run on the Cheltenham Old Course, over a distance of 2 miles 110 yards.
Entry to the Novices Handicap Hurdle is restricted to 4 year old novice hurdlers. The race is recognised as one of the most unpredictable at the Cheltenham Festival, and the combination of novice hurdlers racing under weights makes picking a winner notoriously difficult.
