Following a dry summer and limited rainfall, safe ground for Jump racing cannot be guaranteed at either racecourse. The feature races will now take place at Aintree across a two-day meeting.
We apologise for the disappointment.
Full details here: thejockeyclub.co.uk/aintree/…

Please be advised that following the loss of Dunsmore Racing Club (15th November) the Intermediate race which was scheduled for that card has been transferred to the South Pool Harriers fixture at Buckfastleigh 8th November.

🗣️ "The only reason he moved this year was because of the bonus"
A big weekend of @CheltenhamRaces victories for @GBpointing graduates saw:
🏆 Connections of Woodstock Octo collect £15k through the GB bonus scheme
🏆 Grade 2 success for Kingofthefrontier - having secured his own £25k bonus earlier this year
Funded by the @LevyBoard, the GB Pointing Bonus aims to strengthen & incentivise the pathway from the British pointing field to the racecourse.

Woodstock Octo's victory comes hot on the heels of yesterday's @CheltenhamRaces success for fellow point-to-point graduate, Kingofthefrontier 🥇

Wonderful to see WOODSTOCK OCTO win at @CheltenhamRaces on his first start under rules triggering the @GBpointing Bonus of £15,000. Purchased alongside his trainer @k_woollacott at @GoffsUK and unbeaten in six GB Point to Points. A great day for the team!
