Catterick Bridge Racecourse

FLAT: Left handed, sharp. Catterick Bridge Racecourse is an oval-shaped track, measuring just nine furlongs, with a run-in of three furlongs. Its undulations combined with its exceedingly sharp nature makes it a difficult course for a big, long-striding animal, and speedy types who race handily are at a definite advantage. Races over 5f and 14f start on a spur that joins the main track at the head of the home straight. 

NATIONAL HUNT: Left handed, sharp with minor undulations. The fences at Catterick Bridge are generally regarded as fairly easy, but chases are normally well run. The going rarely gets that testing, with nippy sorts generally at an advantage over gallopers who take time to quicken. Beware deceptive camera angles as runners swing into the home straight, with those who stay towards the centre often seeming closer to the lead than they actually are.
