Course Summary: Roughly triangular undulating galloping course; stiff climb to the 13th can catch out the non-stayer; chalk soil normally gives good going even in the wettest weather; bookies plentiful. Car parking extensive and excellent (virtually go where you like); entrance and exit by long gravel track round Camp avoiding armed guards. Generally good viewing from most parts. Considerable recent investment has been made to keep it in the forefront of the sport; permanent two-storey changing/weighing room and hospitality complex well received. Has several early meetings, and you need to wrap up well.
