RACE DESCRIPTION

A relatively new race in the calendar, the Glenfarclas Steeple Chase for five-year-olds and upwards is run over Cheltenham’s unique cross country course which provides a variety of fences, banks and turns for the runners to negotiate. Run over three miles and six furlongs, this cross-country race is considered one for specialists and therefore previous experience of this unique circuit can be considered advantageous.
