Today features the Grade 1, £105,000 Victor Chandler Steeple Chase, arguably Ascot’s best known race over the jumps and a key stepping stone to the Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. This race is expected to attract the very best speed chasers in Europe. There are also two Grade 2 races supporting the main event.
This event is great for a family day out or weekend away, since under 18s can get in for free and you can also take a free tour of the racecourse starting from Sovereign’s Gate at 11.30am.
