Pertemps Final Handicap Hurdle Betting Tips & Race Preview – Cheltenham Festival 2023

Cheltenham Festival is the final of the Pertemps series. To run in this race, horses have to qualify through qualifying races where they must finish in a certain position to be eligible to run in the final. These horses are good handicappers, but not the best and it is a great series giving those horses the chance of glory at the Cheltenham Festival.

It takes a well handicapped horse to win the race, but because horses have to run well in qualifying races, it isn’t possible to have a very well handicapped horse in here, so it is easier to solve than some other races.

However, having said that you will still find well handicapped horses in this race, so the puzzle can often be quite tough to solve. It is important when looking at the race that you study the qualifiers and look for horses that have ran well, but not been harshly hit by the handicapper, these usually have something up their sleeve for the final. Let's check our Pertemps Final Handicap Hurdle tips.

2023 Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle Preview

When you look back through the past winners of this race it is often well handicapped horses who are yet to realise their true potential. These horses are well in for a number of reasons, because they are young horses still improving, or because they have combined running over hurdles and fences, there are many reasons.

Traditionally it is not a strong race for Irish trainers because they don’t have many qualifying races for it, but the last two seasons have both been won by Irish horses, and both by trainer Patrick Kelly. He’s brought two extremely well handicapped horses to the race in Presenting Percy and Mall Dini so make sure you keep an eye on his entries if you want to watch out for a trainer who targets this race.
