Favourites include joint favourites. Dimmed rows have fewer than 30 runs. Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation at SP. Favourite-heavy samples naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%". £1 P/L is level stakes at SP.

About Fakenham

checked October 2026

Layout and key facts

  • Where: Fakenham, north Norfolk, on the A148 and A1067 — jumps only, turf.
  • Shape: Left-handed, sharp and about a mile round, with the fences and hurdles set on or near the bends and one of the shortest run-ins in Britain.
  • Trips: Hurdles and chases from 2m to about 3m5f.

Going and the seasons

  • All season: Norfolk is drier than the western jumps tracks: good or good to soft is usual outside deep winter, with soft ground in the wettest weeks.

Signature races and fixtures

  • Spring: The Norfolk National (about 3m5f handicap chase).
  • Easter Monday: The busiest meeting of the season, with big fields.

Practical notes

  • Getting there: By road from the A148 and A1067 with parking on site; the nearest mainline stations are King's Lynn and Norwich, then a bus or taxi.
  • Viewing: A compact course with the stands-side fences close to hand; the far side is on the big screens.
