County Handicap Hurdle

The Vincent O'Brien County Handicap Hurdle brings to a close the Cheltenham Festival in March.

A large field usually awaits, with up to thirty runners it can seem a difficult task to select the .winner but the favourites do have some success.

The race distance is two miles and a furlong and is open to five year old horses and above.

Novice horses generally do well here and the festival is usually brought to a spectacular end with this event, needless to say being the last race of the festival betting activity is huge.
