Guide to 2011 Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle Cheltenham Festival

Court in Motion propelled to favouritism in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle when trouncing a decent grade two field at Warwick in January. Emma Levelle's six-year-old pulled away from his rivals including the decent Mossley (25/1 various) by 21 lengths on heavy ground to be priced at 7/1 for this contest.

His first run of the campaign saw him beaten by the exciting Backspin in the Challow Hurdle at Newbury but he did beat the likes of For Non Stop (16/1 various) and Al Ferof (14/1 Bet365) in that race

Nevertheless, the improvement he showed on his Warwick appearance must stand him in great stead to be thereabouts in this three-mile contest and he will take all the beating.

Bob's Worth (8/1 Paddy Power) is next in the market after two impressive wins at Cheltenham. Nicky Henderson's charge is unbeaten over timber and if he is put in this contest then will be a lively opponent for the ante-post favourite.

Zaidpour (10/1 various) and First Lieutenant (16/1 various) are two notable attendees from Ireland and they fought out the finish in a grade one at Leopardstown with the latter prevailing by a neck. At a short price that day Zaidpour just couldn't break down First Lieutenant and the winner was giving him three pounds and it's hard to see Zaidpour reversing the form at Cheltenham.
