Course Details

Course opened in 1969. Excellent viewing from banks adjacent to the finishing straight. The start is behind a copse and out of view of the public but when they appear, there is a short run to the first and second, also the last two circuits later.

They race slightly uphill, past the crowd and take a fence before the bend into the back straight. A downhill gallop to the fourth races alongside Bitterly Brook before turning left-handed to face the fifth, followed by a straight gallop to negotiate fences 6 & 7. They meet a left-handed bend again into the finishing straight, where an inside berth can save lengths before fence 8 and a repeat circuit. 

Two jockeys in colorful uniforms riding racehorses jump over a hurdle during a steeplechase race in a rural landscape.

LH circuit of circa 1m.

A short, galloping, basically flat course with a gradual uphill finish from 3 out.

Fences are all portable and well-built

Watering facilities if required.
