There are two left-handed courses at Cheltenham, the Old Course and the New Course. The Old No. 42 2004 Price £5.50 Course is oval in shape and about one and a half miles in extent. There are nine fences to a circuit, only one of which is jumped in the final straight. The New Course leaves the old track at Stewards R. R. Evans, Esq., S. J. A. Webb, Esq., R. J. Shepherd, Esq., M. P. Wiggin, Esq., the furthest point from the stands and runs parallel to it before rejoining at the entrance to the S. E. Allday, Esq., J. B. O. Carleton Paget, Esq., T. D. Holland-Martin, Esq., A. J. D. Dennis, Esq., finishing straight. This circuit is a little longer than the Old Course and has ten fences, two of Sir John Cotterell which are jumped in the final straight. The most telling feature of the Old and the New Courses is their testing nature. The fences are stiff and the last half mile is uphill, with a run-in of just over a furlong. The four-mile and two-and-a-half-mile starts are on an extension, with five fences, which bisects both courses almost at right angles. The two-mile start is also on this extension, and two fences are jumped before reaching the main circuit. There is also a cross- country course at Cheltenham, laid out in the centre of the conventional tracks.
