Shloer Chase (Registered As Cheltenham Chase) (Grade 2)

HIGHLIGHT of the opening day of Cheltenham’s November Meeting was the Shloer Chase, one of a pair of Grade 2 contests on the day, but, while the action was typically exciting, there were concerns about horses slipping up on the final turn on the chase track, with three separate incidents requiring Director of Racing Jon Pullin to sand the bend in order to alleviate such concerns.
