Course Summary: Course has been realigned for 2012 - please ignore map to your left. Rectangular and undulating with three sharp bends round the edge of one large (100 acre) enclosure; start is now on downhill stretch just after what used to be the 9(19)th fence; first fence is now what used to be fence 10. Four fences in what is now the new home straight, on uphill stretch to what used to be the final bend. Course lies on quick-draining chalk giving perfect going in early season, but can get firm later in the year. Car parking handy to paddock etc - viewing is superb from the hillside.
Top Riders: S. Allwood 8, M. Miller 8, J. Barber 7, R. Bliss 6, Miss A. Goschen 6
