Course Characteristics:

Huntingdon is a right handed (clockwise) circuit of 1½ miles and it is totally flat throughout.

Long striding, speedy horses do well and the only challenge seems to be the second last fence which can catch some runners out if approached too fast. It is the type of course where form holds out well and many course specialists also emerge.
