The Pertemps Final is a Grade Three National Hunt hurdle race in the Great Britain accessible to horses aged five and above. It is run over a distance of about 3 miles (2 miles 7 furlongs and 213 yards, or 4,785 meters) on the New Course at Cheltenham, with twelve hurdles to be leapt. It is a handicap race that takes place every year during the Cheltenham Festival in March.
The Pertemps Final is served by a series of qualifier races held over the preceding five months. To be eligible to run in the Final, a horse must finish in the top six in a qualifier race. There were 14 qualifier races in the 2020-21 season, all in the Great Britain. In previous seasons, qualifiers included races in Ireland and France.
The race was raised from Listed to Grade Three status in 2018.
