Catterick’s season over Jumps ends next Wednesday (March 4) when racing is scheduled to begin at 2-10 p.m.
The feature races are a Handicap Chase over two miles, three furlongs and a Novices’ Handicap Chase contested over two miles.
The John Wade Skip Hire Novices’ Hunters’ Chase – the only Hunter Chase of the season at Catterick – is held over the extended three miles and one furlong. Owner/trainer John Wade, who is based near Aycliffe in County Durham, could have a runner in this race sponsored once again by his company. Last year’s winner, Rosie Du Berlais was trained at Middleham by Philip Kirby and ridden by Philip Dennis.
The giant screen will be situated opposite the main stands, enabling racegoers to follow all of the action. A shuttle bus service operates from Richmond town centre one hour before racing begins, returning after the last race.
Catterick’s next meeting on Wednesday, April 8 signals the start of the course’s 17-day season on the Flat this year.
