WELCOME TO

Hello and welcome back to Cheltenham Racecourse for the third and final day of The November Meeting This is our only Sunday fixture of the season and it’s one that is famed for brilliant free family fun. Entertainment for our younger racegoers includes performances from Tweedy the Clown as well as appearances from Hey Duggee, facepainting, bouncy castles, balloons and a whole lot more.

Out on the track a different kind of thrilling entertainment will be unfolding, including the feature race of the day in the shape of the Unibet Greatwood Handicap Hurdle, which gets under way at 3:30pm. Prior to the Jump racing getting started, we will be treated to a Shetland Pony Race at 12:10pm featuring stars of the future.

The Shloer Chase looks set to be a highlight of the day with four exciting Chasers heading to post as we see Jonbon, Edwardstone, Nube Negra and Editeur Du Gite, making their return to the Home of Jump Racing.

As always, I’d like to thank all of those who have helped make racing today possible by their support of the card. They include Mallard Jewellers, House of Cavani, Shloer, Jewson, Unibet and Turners. We wish them and their guests a wonderful day here with us.

If you have a chance, we would like to encourage all racegoers to join us in signing the petition to stop the implementation of betting affordability checks. You can do so by scanning the QR code below.

We’d like to take a moment to thank all of you who have visited Cheltenham Racecourse over the course of The November Meeting. We hope to see you back here for The Christmas Meeting December 15th & 16th. Until then, we wish you a wonderful day here with us.

How the experts rate the horse’s chances:

Look out for Letters: C D CD BF

d Bold form figures = performance in all-weather (Flat) or Point-to-Point (Jump) races

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.

TIMEFORM VIEW No match for Editeur du Gite at Kempton last Christmas and pulled up in the Champion Chase on his final start but he has an excellent fresh (has won the last 2 runnings of this on reappearance).

JONBON has only ever been beaten by his outstanding stablemate Constitution Hill and last season’s top-notch novice chaser El Fabiolo and can take his career record to an impressive 11-13. Edwardstone ran no sort of race in the Champion Chase when last seen PLAY SMARTER but he’s the obvious threat if back to anything like the form he showed when winning the Tingle Creek on last season’s reappearance.

NEMEAN LION marked himself down as a leading contender for this when seeing off Anyharminasking (pair clear) in the Welsh Champion and can make light of a 5lb rise with further progress on the cards. Dan Skelton is always to be feared in these races and his L’Eau du Sud and PLAY SMARTER Knickerbockerglory head the many dangers along with Sonigino, who shaped well in the Silver Trophy on his return. Onlyamatteroftime is another fascinating runner having joined Willie Mullins.

NOTICES

RACEHORSE & JOCKEY WELFARE The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority. The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation. The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards. In addition Haydock Park Racecourse employs a minimum of three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse. In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team. Qualified paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey. If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.
