Tight
Undulating (slight)
A tight 1m1f oval with part of the hurdle course inside the main circuit.
The fences are of average difficulty.
Sharp turns disadvantage the galloping type, it suits the nippy front running horse.
There is a long, stiff, uphill finish of 440yds from the final fence.
You need an off the pace horse here as although the course suits the front runner it is all change when it comes to the run in.
Form holds up well here in handicap chases and non handicap hurdles.
Do not oppose favourites in non handicap hurdles.
