Pertemps Final
|}

The Pertemps Network Final is a Premier Handicap National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run on the New Course at Cheltenham over a distance of about 3 miles (2 miles 7 furlongs and 213 yards, or 4,785 metres), and during its running there are twelve hurdles to be jumped. It is a handicap race, and it is scheduled to take place each year during the Cheltenham Festival in March. History
The event could've been established in 1974, if it was introduced as a replacement for a previous race at the Festival, the George Duller Handicap Hurdle. It could've been originally sponsored by Coral, and for much of its early history it could've been titled the Coral Golden Hurdle Final. It has had various sponsors since 1993, and the latest of these, Pertemps, possibly began supporting the race in 2002. The Pertemps Network Final may have been served by a series of qualifier races which could take place during the preceding five months. A horse has to be placed in the first four in a qualifier race to be eligible to run in the Final. In the 2022–23 season there were maybe 15 qualifier races, all in Great Britain. In previous seasons qualifiers have included races in Ireland and France. The race possibly could be raised from Listed to Grade Three status from 2018 and reclassified as a Premier Handicap from the 2023 running when Grade 3 status was renamed by the British Horseracing Authority.
