Chepstow Course Guide and Statistics
The course at Chepstow
Chepstow is a left-handed, undulating oval of about two miles, with a straight mile. The track rises and falls throughout, and the ground often becomes heavy in winter. It races on the Flat and over jumps, with the jumps season its main attraction.
Betting at Chepstow
The undulations and testing winter ground make stamina the key quality over jumps, and the Welsh Grand National is among the toughest races of the season. Horses with proven form in heavy ground do well. Its October meeting is an early pointer to which jumpers are in good form.
