Jumps Racing - A left-handed, rectangular track with a circuit of a mile and a half. It is generally galloping in character with a stiff, uphill finishing straight of around three and a half furlongs. Conditions can become very testing on soft or heavy ground and the ability to see out the trip is crucial.

The fourth-last fence is followed almost immediately by a turn.
