Pertemps Network Final Odds

As a Premier Handicap National Hunt Hurdle, a large number of horses, trainers and jockeys look at the Pertemps Network Final as a race they desire to win in their careers. Last year, Third Wind won the race at odds of 25/1 as high rated horses such as Sire Du Berlais, Sassy Yet Classy and Dunboyne failed to live up to the billing. This gave Jockey Tom O'Brien and trainer Hughie Morrison their first wins in the Pertemps Final. This race is the second race of the third day of the Cheltenham Festival, meaning it is a staple of Stayers Hurdle day.
