Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle (Spa) Free Bets and Tips

Commonly referred to as the "Potato Race," the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1) is often the most grueling race of the week. Run over three miles, it requires a horse with an iron will and relentless stamina.

The Timeform View: Value in the Market While Doctor Steinberg (4/1) arrives with a perfect 3-for-3 record over hurdles and looks "every inch a smart prospect," the value may lie elsewhere. Timeform suggests siding with Kazansky (16/1). Although he was beaten by Doctor Steinberg last month, he appeals as a horse "tailor-made by the demands of this race" and represents the stable that won this contest two years ago.

Other Notables

• Thedeviluno (5/1): Respected as a "River Don scorer" with proven staying credentials.
• Spinningayarn (14/1) & Mondoui'boy (16/1): Both are noted as being "worth a look" in a wide-open betting heat.

Enhanced Place Terms

• Sky Bet: Paying a generous 5 Places (instead of 3) if 16 or more runners start.
• Betfair & Paddy Power: Both are paying 4 Places for each-way bets.

Free Bet Builder: If you are planning on watching the football after the races, Paddy Power is offering a Bet £10 Get £50 deal specifically for football bet builders.
