Aintree stages William Hill Becher Chase Day on Saturday, December 5, 2026, when the Becher Chase sends the field over the famous Grand National fences.

There is no sight in jump racing like a full field taking on Becher’s Brook, the Chair and the Canal Turn outside the spring festival itself, and the December meeting is the one chance all winter to see horses tested over the National course. Trainers use the race to learn which of their staying chasers truly take to the fences, and the answers shape Grand National plans for months.

Aintree in December draws the committed racing crowd of the North West, and a Saturday over the big fences is one of the landmark afternoons of the season.

We Speak Media will be watching the Aintree day closely, and we will bring readers the full story from the meeting.

Haydock Park stages Betfair Chase Day on Saturday, November 21, 2026, when the Grade 1 Betfair Chase takes its place as the first top level race of the British jumps season.

The Betfair Chase is the race that tells the sport where the staying chasers stand. Run at Haydock in the heart of the winter, it has a habit of setting the agenda for the whole jumps season, and the country’s leading yards send their best horses to Merseyside to find out who is ready.

Haydock Park sits between Manchester and Liverpool and draws one of the great racing crowds of the North, and a Grade 1 Saturday there is one of the landmark afternoons of the National Hunt calendar.

We Speak Media will be watching the Haydock Park day closely, and we will bring readers the full story from the meeting.
