Course Characteristics:

Situated just outside the town, this is a jumps track of 1 mile and 3 furlongs. It is a right handed (clockwise) course and it is generally flat.

The fences are very stiff and the course is a galloping one. Also with the relatively short run-in it is possible for front runners to poach a lead.
