The Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase, run over 3m6f on day two of the Cheltenham Festival, is a one-of-a-kind race at the festival as the runners face a series of unique fences and obstacles on the cross-country course before rejoining the main track for the stamina-sapping closing stages.

The Irish domination of this race continued with DELTA WORK, who took the Tiger Roll route by warming up for this in the Boyne Hurdle at Navan.
