Good afternoon and a very warm welcome to the second day of the BetVictor March Racing Weekend here at Newbury.

We have another exciting afternoon of Jump racing ahead which includes the BetVictor Greatwood Gold Cup Handicap Chase and our thanks go to our title sponsor, BetVictor for generously retaining the ‘Greatwood’ title. We also extend our thanks to Irish Thoroughbred Marketing for their continued support.

For those interested in getting even closer to the action, make sure you join course expert David Crosse for the popular Trips to the Jump which will take place ahead of the 1.40, 2.45 and 4.35 races today. We ask that any racegoers keen to make the trip out to the course meet to the left-hand side of the Weighing Room 20 minutes before their preferred trip.

March’s arrival means we’re now only three weeks away from the culmination of the jumps season here at Newbury, and we’re looking forward to welcoming BetVictor back across Friday 24 and Saturday 25 March for the jumps season finale. This final jumps fixture will provide us with an opportunity to present our end of season awards - The Newburys – in partnership with Conundrum Consulting, as we look back at all of the fantastic jumping highlights we’ve enjoyed this season.

Following the BetVictor Jumps Finale our attention will turn to the start of the Flat season on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 April when Classic hopefuls will be in action at the Dubai Duty Free Spring Trials Weekend. This fixture will also see the return of the popular Beer Festival featuring over 30 real ales and ciders from local brewers. Tickets are available to purchase online with bookings now also being taken for the newly refurbished Hennessy Restaurant which will be back in action for this weekend, so make sure you are one of the first to experience it.

If you’d like to take a look at what’s in store for The Hennessy Restaurant’s refurbishment, simply head to the ground floor of the Hampshire Stand or Berkshire Stand where our display boards give a flavour of what you can expect. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing patience while this exciting refurbishment is completed.

Thank you for choosing to spend your day with us. I hope you have an enjoyable and profitable afternoon and that we will see you again on Friday 24 March for the first day of the BetVictor Jumps Season Finale.
