Chepstow Overview

Chepstow Racecourse was established in the 1920s and stands as one of the three racecourses in Wales, alongside Ffos Las and Bangor-On-Dee. Although, Chepstow holds the distinction of being the only one among these to host Grade One jumps racing.

Situated just north of Chepstow in Monmouthshire, Wales, the racecourse is a key fixture in the UK racing calendar.

Location: St Lawrence Road, Chepstow, NP16 6BE

Chepstow operates as a dual-purpose track, featuring flat racing throughout the summer and autumn, and transitioning to jump racing in the winter months.

The jumps course is characterised by its left-handed, undulating, oval shape, extending nearly two miles with eleven fences per circuit. It includes a five-furlong home straight and a 250-yard run-in. The ground can get very soft during the winter season with heavy ground a common going suiting the more robust staying type.

The layout, which features five fences in the straight — the first part downhill — typically benefits front runners or those leading into the straight, particularly over shorter distances.

The flat course mirrors the jumps in its two-mile circumference, with a five-furlong run-in. Although, all races up to a mile are contested on the straight course.
