Horse Racing - National Hunt Courses - Ascot
Ascot’s National Hunt course was inaugurated in 1966 and also stages several important meetings, notably the Ascot Hurdle fixture in November, the Christmas meeting featuring the Grade 1 Long Walk Hurdle, the two-mile Clarence House Chase (formerly the Victor Chandler) in January and the Ascot Chase fixture in February – the last two meetings featuring several ‘trial’ races for the upcoming Cheltenham Festival.
Characteristics
1m5f triangular track with a very short uphill run in of 240y.
Is level and enables horses to gallop freely but is still testing with very stiff fences.
Novice hurdlers who have performed well here on the flat have to be noted.
When the ground is soft this is a true test of stamina..
Right handed
Galloping
Flat
Uphill
Big Fences
None
Front running favourites do particularly well.
Favourites in long distance non handicap chases do very well but at poor prices.
Look for good speed figures in handicap chases as the galloping nature of the track makes for truly run races.
Oppose favourites in hurdle races especially non handicaps.
