Course Information: Catterick is a dual-purpose (flat & jumps)      left-handed, oval-shaped course of around nine furlongs in circumference and has a three-furlong straight. It is downhill all the way home from the 7-furlong post and has a sharp turn as the horses enter the straight for the run home. 

The sharp turns and undulations suit handy types of horses who like to race prominently rather than long-striding, big horses. Take note of horses that have won previously, at this track, as course form is more significant than at a lot of other racecourses. Horses having their first run here often take time to adapt to the conditions. The National Hunt course features eight easy fences, or five hurdles, per circuit.
