Fontwell Park — Results (6 November 2026)
Yesterday at Fontwell Park produced a varied card on going described as Chase course – GOOD TO SOFT (Good in places); Hurdle course – GOOD (Good to soft in places; watered; 5.2). Short-priced Smokehouse (4/7) made a persuasive winning return in the KSR Lighting Maiden Hurdle, while Neil Mulholland enjoyed a fine day with a double including a shock from Fire Flyer at 40/1 in the Gary Wrights Big 40th Birthday Celebration Handicap Hurdle. Sea Warrior, I Love You Sivola, Steal The Moves and Pippin’s Legend completed a competitive set of winners. Several non-runners and pulled-up horses affected field sizes and finishing orders.
Key events
Highlights included Smokehouse taking control late in the maiden hurdle, Sea Warrior pulling clear in the Remembrance Handicap Chase, and a notable 40/1 success for Fire Flyer. Steal The Moves edged out the short-priced Hard Stare in the Mercedes-Benz Of Chichester Handicap Chase, and Pippin’s Legend closed the card in the final novices’ limited handicap. Non-runners Ahanaglogh and Docteur Romeo were both ruled out, The Drunken Sailor unseated early (UR), and Beaufort Breeze and Dusky Spyglass were both pulled up.

Fontwell Race Results
Fontwell stages around 20 jumps meetings throughout the year with the highlight being the Grade 2 National Spirit Hurdle in late February. The race is named after the Champion Hurdle winner in 1947 and 1948 who was a five-times course winner at Fontwell. It regularly attracts some of the leading long distance hurdlers ahead of the Stayers’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
Fontwell also stages the Southern National in November, a competitive handicap chase over three miles and three and a half furlongs. This marathon event provides a thrilling spectacle over this unique jumps track which also stages an Oktoberfest raceday in October, a popular Ladies evening in August and a Boxing Day fixture.

Racecourse Guide
An extremely popular National Hunt track with more than a modicum of charm, Fontwell is one of only two racecourses run over a figure-of-eight circuit, the other being Windsor. Total refurbishment of all grandstands in the late nineties has vastly improved facilities for racegoers. A new £6.5 million grandstand was opened in the Premier Enclosure in 2010.
Punters are provided with the rare option of viewing races from inside the course to get right in amongst the racing action. Fontwell is a sharp track: the hurdles course is a left-handed oval and the chase course a figure-of-eight, which suits fast, accurate jumpers who like to race up with the pace. Conditions can get extremely testing here so a race like the Southern National certainly provides a test of stamina.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II had her first ever winner here when Monaveen won the Chichester Handicap Chase in October 1949. Fontwell is notable for its course specialists including 14 times winner Certain Justice and 11 times winner St Athans Lad. Famous course winners include two-time Champion Hurdler Comedy Of Errors and dual Stayers’ Hurdle winner Baracouda, who won the National Spirit Hurdle here in 2001.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
Fontwell combines its unique trackside action with a superb range of hospitality packages. The course restaurants and bars all provide stunning views of the racecourse against the backdrop of the Arundel scenery. The Premier Lounge Restaurant is located on the first floor of the Premier Grandstand with a viewing balcony while there are 12 exclusive private boxes, complete with a dedicated host, mouth-watering buffet and access to all public areas. Marquee hospitality is also available during the summer fixtures and there are numerous food stands around the course.
Fontwell Park is located on the A27/A29 roundabout between Chichester and Arundel in West Sussex. The closest railway station to the racecourse is Barnham with frequent trains from London Victoria, Portsmouth and Brighton. Passengers from Southampton can go direct to Barnham with a shuttle bus direct to the course on race days.
