Course Information: Cartmel is a left-handed track and circa 1 mile in circumference and is basically a figure of eight in shape, with six fences jumped on each full circuit. Despite Carmel's small circuit, it has one of the longest run-ins of any National Hunt course in the UK, with a four-furlong run-in for chasers and a 2 furlong run in for hurdlers. 

Front-runners can excel at Cartmel but need to keep going on the long straight, so stamina is required to win. Horses that race prominently are favoured. For this reason, many horses cannot act at Cartmel, so course specialists should always be seriously considered.
