Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle 2025 Result

Saturday 25 October 2025 · Cheltenham · By Matthew Glazier

Ma Shantou returns for a seasonal debut on Saturday and the Emma Lavelle-trained six-year-old was a fine performer last season. Perhaps there’s a stronger case for Winning Smut considering that there have been two victories along with a runner-up spot already. Chart Topper runs for Willie Mullins and showed promise when finishing third last time out.

Long Draw is another six-year-old knocking on the door considering Olly Murphy saddles a horse who clocked up a couple of wins last season. Prince Zaltar has been in the winners’ enclosure on two occasions this term, with Quantum Quest looking like a five-year-old who is bidding for a third straight win for Henry de Bromhead.

2025 The Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle Betting Tips

Ma Shantou secured two victories last season, with Emma Lavelle training a horse who was last seen performing at the Cheltenham Festival in March. The 25/1 shot was able to land seventh in the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle, with that coming after a third-placed finish at Doncaster. That was preceded by victories at Warwick and Windsor.

Winning Smut was able to win either side of a runner-up performance this season. The latest effort was a win at Galway at the beginning of August. The horse demonstrated superb staying power over two miles, six and a half furlongs. This came after the Gordon Elliott-trained charge was able to win at Ballinrobe back in May.

Chart Topper hasn’t been able to register a victory this season, with the Willie Mullins-trained charge landing sixth place before improving to land third last time out. The latest effort came at Galway when finishing three lengths behind Winning Smut after a solid effort at Punchestown over two miles, seven and a half furlongs.

Prince Zaltar and Quantum Quest have both been in the winners’ enclosure this season and we might see a concerted effort from each runner. The former is an experienced eight-year-old who was last seen winning at Newton Abbot in September. The latter could oblige for Henry de Bromhead after scoring at Kilbeggan and Roscommon.


2024 Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle Tips

There’s a typically wide open look about the race when it comes to the Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham, with Catch Him Derry potentially the horse who will go off as favourite. Last April, we saw the horse oblige with a victory at Ayr when scoring as the 5/6 market leader and that came over three miles.

Doyen Quest was second on his seasonal debut this season and there could be improvement from the Dan Skelton-trained runner, with the 4/1 favourite finishing runner-up in the Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle over two miles, three and a half furlongs. This came after a previous success at Cheltenham and there could be more to come.

Punters are sitting up and taking notice of Gwennie May Boy considering that there were a spate of victories towards the end of the previous season. The latest success came at Aintree when there was a win in the William Hill Handicap Hurdle over three miles, half a furlong. It’s worth noting that a triumph was achieved by seven and a half furlongs.

If Dan Skelton doesn’t win with the above three runners, The Wallpark could be the one to make an impact and the Gordon Elliott-trained horse has landed a number of notable successes. The six-year-old is carrying a lot of weight but he’s managed to impress when landing two wins at Galway.
