Plumpton is a jumping track, located 10 miles north of Brighton and the racecourse is in the centre of the village next to the station.
Course Characteristics:
The course is a tight oval circuit of 1 mile 1 furlong and it is left handed (anti-clockwise). The back straight is very much downhill and, correspondingly the home straight is very much uphill.
The jumps can be testing, coupled with a short run-in means that horses need to be agile and also possess sufficient stamina.
Previous course winners should be followed.
