Course Charcteristics
Jumps racing over two courses, the Old and the New. Both are undulating, left-handed ovals of a mile and a half. The course is very stiff, with the accent very much on stamina and the uphill finish of 240 yards is one of the most demanding tests in the country. The fences are not quite as tough as they used to be after recent alterations but a sound jumper with plenty of courage is needed to win here.
