A Grade 1 Novices' Hurdle, the Albert Bartlett is another attracting a wide field, and it's pins in the blackboard time to some extent again.

We'll start with OK Coral, who is one of a quartet from Nicky Henderson in this race. He's a relatively lightly raced eight-year old, and the stretch out to three miles looks much needed after he was a little disappointing on his return to the track recently at Newbury before putting in a much better effort at Kempton. That was a lift to 2m 5f, and the extra three furlongs looks ideal for him to continue his improvement. He's 12/1 with a few of the layers giving four places.
At a slightly longer price we also like Dortmund Park who has already won twice this season. He likes a tough heat, and this shouldn't disappoint and he can run around gamely in the middle of the pack before running on strongly. He's attractive at 16/1 in our eyes.
1pt e/w OK Coral at 12/1 (four places 1/5)
1pt e/w Dortmund Park at 16/1 (four places 1/5)
