Today's Bangor-on-Dee Tips, Racecards And Results
Bangor results — 11 November 2026
Good (Watered; 5.4) going at Bangor produced a day of decisive wins and a couple of notable non-runners. Wandering Ego opened the card with a ready success in the Overton Handicap Chase, while Getawhisky took the Listed Yorton Mares’ Novices’ Chase for the Skelton team. First Confession and Rockson Piel both registered comfortable handicap wins, Hang Out made all in the Paul Ferguson novice hurdle, Mr Rafiki produced a late surge to prevail in the Wrexham Lager Novices’ Hurdle and Brookside La closed the day out with a strong finish in the finale.
There were a few problems on the day: Sears Crossing was declared off-colour via a self-certificate, Ar Ais Aris was a non-runner with a bruised foot, and The Cistercian was withdrawn as the ground proved unsuitable. Arizona Cardinal and Granny B were among those pulled up. Overall, trainers and jockeys picked their moments well — Dan Skelton & Harry Skelton combined for a pair of winners — and several races ended with clear margins.

Racecourse Guide
Set in glorious countryside beside the River Dee, Bangor-On-Dee is one of the most picturesque racecourses in Britain. It is unique in that it does not have a grandstand and spectators view the action from the grass banks surrounding the track.
Bangor-on-Dee is a sharp, left-handed track where runners are always on the turn. It is notable for its three sharp bends which make it an ideal course for front-runners. The going can be quite firm here during the summer months and the fences are considered fair without being particularly testing. The course favours fast, accurate jumpers who like to race up with the pace rather than long striding animals.
Racing at Bangor-on-Dee dates back to 1859 and once provided a stepping-stone to Aintree Grand National glory. Gamecock (1887), Cloister (1893) and Wild Man From Borneo (1895) all won the Aintree marathon after winning at this course. The Aintree link was maintained for many years through the Anne Duchess of Westminster Memorial Handicap Chase, a November feature at the course in the 2010s. The Duchess famously won the Grand National with Last Suspect in 1985, a 50-1 outsider ridden by Welshman Hywel Davies.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
Bangor-on-Dee is a grass roots jumping course with a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a family day out. Although lacking a grandstand, the course does have a selection of private hospitality spaces. There are restaurant packages on offer for groups of family and friends or corporate entertainment. Restaurant dining is provided at the Wynnstay Restaurant and Paddock Restaurant. Award-winning chefs deliver an impressive menu complemented by an equally imposing wine and champagne list. It is advisable to book early as there are limited spaces available. Further food outlets are available on course during all meetings.
Bangor-on-Dee is only 25 minutes’ drive from the Roman city of Chester. Wrexham General is the nearest railway station to the track with a free shuttle bus in operation on all race days.
