AND
Between January 1st 2011 and May 25th 2012 in Great Britain or Ireland, horses must have:
a) Been placed first, second or third in a Hunter Chase,
or
b) Been placed first in an Open Race at a Point-To-Point meeting.
If more than 16 horses are declared, the BHA Head of Handicapping will eliminate horses in order to make the race as competitive as possible.
Key Trends
- Only one six-year-old has won the race in the last 12 renewals
- 9 out of the last 12 winners had previously won a 3m+ chase under rules (of the 3 who had not, Southwestern (2007 winner) was previously beaten a short-head in 3m½f chase)
