TAP INTO REMARKABLE

THE JOCKEY CLUB WELCOMES YOU

Welcome to the final day of The November Meeting.

We have six thrilling races that will close the meeting today, featuring the Unibet Greatwood Hurdle race. Harambe won the 2019 renewal, ridden by Tom Bellamy, and trained by in-form Alan King. This year’s race looks to be as hotly contested as ever.

We’d like to thank today’s race sponsors for their continued support, Mallard jewellers, Chapel Stud, Shloer, Unibet, Sky Bet and the High Sheriff of Gloucestershire.

A particular mention must go to Chapel Stud who will be offering the owner and breeder of the winner of ‘The Planteur at Chapel Stud Steeple Chase’ a free nomination to send a mare to Planteur as part of their prize.

We are very grateful that racing is able to continue behind closed doors, and we hope you will stay involved and updated through our Jump Season Hub and our social media channels. You can enjoy the action live with ITV Racing and Racing TV. Finally, We hope that you’ve enjoyed this exciting three days of racing.

Thank you for your support during The November meeting, and of course over the past few months. We look forward to welcoming you all back to the Home of Jump Racing one day soon.

RACECARD EXPLAINED 1. FORM

EXPERT VIEW

A quick way to see a horse’s past performance. These are its recent finishing positions.

Look C = D = CD =

out for Letters: Has won at this course Has won over this distance Has won over this distance at this course BF = Was a beaten favourite MORE INFORMATION ON THE FORM / P

= New racing season = Missed racing season = Was pulled-up and didn’t finish the race F = Horse fell U = Rider unseated R = Horse refused to race CO = The horse was forced out of a race by a loose horse B = Horse was brought down S = Horse slipped r = The horse ran around a jump or took the wrong course in a flat race d = Disqualified Bold form figures = performance in all-weather (Flat) or Point-to-Point (Jump) races

How the experts rate the horse’s chances: 2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse.

3. Timeform view and TFR rating 4. HORSE’S TRAINER & THEIR LOCATION Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race.

5. JOCKEY Listen out for any jockeys who are having a successful day.

BETTING EXPLAINED — Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number.

— Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.

— ‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.

— ‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed.

It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.

— Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.

— Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online.

Each option offers a different experience.

— Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

A DAY AT THE RACES EXPLAINED — Explore and familiarise yourself with the racecourse.

— Find out the time of the first race in the racecard. Races are about 30 minutes apart and provide a natural focus for your day.

— Visit the Parade Ring around 20 minutes before each race. This is your chance to see the horses up-close. Look for signs of their fitness and attitude. A glossy coat, pricked ears and alert nature are considered good.

— Watch at least one race by the railings, as close to the finishing post as you can get.

RACEHORSES EXPLAINED — Jump horses are generally sturdier and bigger than Flat horses.

Key attributes are endurance and strength.

— Flat horses are lighter and more elegant for shorter, faster races.

— They use a different set of muscles, so muscle definition varies just like in human athletes.

— On average, Jump horses race - or ‘travel’ - at 30mph.

— Flat horses are faster at 35mph and the best exceed 40mph during a race.

THE BIG BREAKAWAY has the potential to make a top quality staying chaser for Colin Tizzard and he’s a confident selection to make a winning start over fences having created a big impression over timber last term. Soldier of Love and The Butcher Said look the main dangers, with Paul Nicholls’ charge narrowly preferred having improved out of all recognition following a breathing operation.

An intriguing affair with the vote in favour of 7-y-o CAPTAIN DRAKE. He ended last season with a good second in the Midlands National and posted a career-best display when successful on return over hurdles at Uttoxeter in October. Unexposed over marathon trips, he’s expected to go well in refitted cheekpieces. Discorama and last year’s winner West Approach head the dangers.

DEFI DU SEUIL looked the pick of this division before his underwhelming run in the Champion Chase so, now freshened up, he’s worth a chance to get back on track in his bid to land this for the second year running. Rouge Vif is the main threat after his demolition job on reappearance and Arkle-winning mare Put The Kettle On shouldn’t be ruled out.

PLAY SMARTER

An ultra-competitive handicap but there’s every chance it will go to a stable that has won it before, and EDWARDSTONE looks most interesting making his handicap debut for Alan King, who has won two of the last three renewals. Proschema still has scope to do better over hurdles given his smart Flat form so is feared most, althoughTegerek won well at the last meeting here so commands respect too.

Following a nightmare debut, WESEEKHIMHERE has displayed a useful level of form in winning a brace of Irish bumpers by a total of 20 lengths and that level of form is superior to anything else in the race. That said, this stiffer track is bound to suit Grandeur d’Ame, who was impressive at Newton Abbot, and Firestep is a fascinating newcomer pitched in at this level for his top yard.
