Code. 48 HOUR DECLARATIONS APPLY TO THIS RACE. PLEASE NOTE: Any horse whose entry is confirmed under Rule (F)87 will not be permitted to declare to run if, at the time fixed for declaration, it has been declared to run in any other race at the 2020 Cheltenham Festival, which has yet to take place. (This will apply whether or not the horse is subsequently declared a non-runner, unless the horse has been eliminated from a race, or declared as a reserve and not been made a non-runner.) All horses which start in this Race shall be required to carry a speed

sensing device in accordance with the provisions of Rule (E)27. This provision does not constitute any qualification for the purposes of paragraph 12.6 of the Race Entries Code. The British Horseracing Authority has modified

Schedule (B)3 Paragraphs 24 and 26 for the purposes of this race to provide that horses will be qualified to run if they are qualified in Ireland and have a Hunters Certificate currently registered by the Stewards of the Irish National Hunt Steeple Chase Committee and which has not been cancelled. The British Horseracing Authority has modified

Rules (F)102 and (F)103 and Schedule (F)8 of the Rules of Racing to provide that, if it is necessary to do so, elimination of horses from this race will be determined by the BHA Handicapper. PLEASE NOTE: If more than

24 horses are declared to run in this race and elimination is necessary, priority will be given to horses which have run in Steeple Chases and Hunters’ Steeple Chases under the Rules of Racing. With this in mind, it is strongly

recommended that horses qualifying to run in this race through Point-to-Points should also run in a Steeple Chase or Hunters’ Steeple Chase by March 6th, 2020 (the day before 6 day confirmations) in order to avoid elimination. The BHA Head of Handicapping will, however, reserve the right to guarantee a place in the line-up for a maximum

of one ‘wild card’ runner, should he wish to do so. The decision of the BHA Head Handicapper shall be final. The British Horseracing Authority has modified Rule (F)74.1 for the purposes of this race. A Confirmation of Entry under Rule (F)87 will not be accepted for any horse for whom a Medication Declaration Form A is not submitted to

the BHA via [email protected] by 3rd March, 2020.
