Course Details
Course opened 1946. LH, undulating course on a hillside, downhill from fence 3/13, uphill from fence 9, sweeping bends, fences are well-maintained. No watering.
Viewing is excellent from this well-organised fixture with a large shopping village. Arrive early to avoid queues. The fences are well-made and the course can cope with the wettest weather.
The start is located in a small chute leading into the back straight, with a short run to the first of three fences on the skyline, the last of which is the open ditch. The field has sorted its order by now as they turn left-handed and race downhill to the 4th. The field disappears momentarily as they race into a dip and back into view for fence 5 at the top of a short incline.
An easy left-hand bend brings them to fence 6, while fence 7 is in a slight dip and spectators here can impede the view for crowds watching from the main areas. A long sweeping bend takes runners into the home straight and a slight downhill to fence 8. The second last tends to catch out tired horses and the final fence needs to be met on a good stride to gain an advantage on the long run-in. Winners are usually in the lead at the final bend.
