About The Aintree Foxhunters' Chase
The Aintree Foxhunters’ Chase is one of three races to be held over the National fences at the Grand National Festival, and is generally run on the first day.
Run over a trip of two miles and five furlongs, the race is contested by amateur riders, and sits alongside the Foxhunter Chase at the previous month’s Cheltenham Festival.
Runners regularly run in both, and the Cheltenham contest can serve as a key pointer to Aintree the following month.
