Friday at the Cheltenham Festival revolves around the Gold Cup, the most prestigious race in all of National Hunt racing. Around the feature race, viewers have the Triumph Hurdle, the Mares' Chase and a couple of excellent handicaps to sink their teeth into.

The warm-up act for the Gold Cup is the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle, and it's to this race where we look for out final NAP of the meeting. Here's how you can back our NAP with William Hill and get your hands on £60 in free bets!

Cheltenham Day 4 Tips - NAP Of The Day

The Albert Bartlett is notorious for throwing up shock results. However, there are plenty of instances where class has come to the fore.

Future Gold Cup winners, Bobs Worth and Minella Indo won the potato race. Unowhatimeanharry and Penhill went on to win further Grade Ones over hurdles and Monkfish followed up in the Brown Advisory Chase 12 months ago. Even last year's winner Vanillier, who went off around 14/1, had lost out by a length in a Grade Two and ran in a Grade One prior to winning at Cheltenham.

The best horse in this year's Albert Bartlett is GINTO. The Moran's splashed out £470k to purchase this Walk In The Park gelding after an impressive point-to-point victory. Ginto then won on his second bumper start, beating one of today's rivals Shantreusse by eight lengths on heavy ground, before going over hurdles in the autumn.

A five-and-a-half maiden triumph was followed by an effortless win over Eric Bloodaxe in the Grade Two at Navan in December. Jack Kennedy's mount was then backed into favouritism for the Lawlor's Of Naas, where he travelled beautifully before putting a decent field to bed with ease.

The last two winners of that Grade One, Envoi Allen and Bob Olinger both followed up at Cheltenham, albeit in the Ballymore. Ginto was going to run in Wednesday's opener, until Minella Crooner got injured and connections decided to revert back to their original plan.

I don't think Gordon Elliott ever really wanted to run Ginto in the Ballymore. He's an out-and-out-three miler. Kennedy's mount won his point-to-point on soft, a bumper on heavy and his Grade One win came on soft ground too, so I have no worries regarding the going. We could have a future Gold Cup contender on our hands.
