The British Horseracing Authority has modified paragraphs 16 to 19 of the Running Requirements Code for the purposes of this race to provide that horses will be qualified to run if they are qualified in Ireland and have a
Hunters Certificate currently registered by the Stewards of the Irish National Hunt Steeple Chase Committee
and which has not been cancelled.

Please note for the purposes of this race, Open Mares' Steeple Chases and Open Lightweight Steeple Chases at Point-to-Point meetings in Ireland are considered equivalent to Open Steeple Chases at Point-to-Point meetings in Great Britain.

The British Horseracing Authority has modified Rule (I)10 and the Race Administration Code to provide that, if it is necessary to do so, elimination of horses from this race will be determined by the BHA Handicapper.

All entries in this race will have their suitability assessed by the Grand National Review Panel and if necessary,
The British Horseracing Authority may exercise its powers under Rule (I)2 to refuse to allow a horse duly entered
to run when it has reason to be concerned about the horse's suitability for the race.

Any horse for whom a Confirmation of Entry has been submitted will not be permitted to run if it subsequently runs in any other race, including Point-to-Point races.

All runners must be presented to the BHA Veterinary Officers for a pre-race veterinary inspection and must pass the inspection. Any horse considered unfit to run will be withdrawn by order of the Stewards under Rule (H)7.4.
Horses may be presented for inspection on the day of racing as advised. Subject to the discretion of the Stewards, any horse which is not presented for a veterinary inspection by the time advised will not be permitted to run under Rule (H)7.4.

A Confirmation of Entry will not be accepted for any horse for Which Medical Records and the requested Veterinary Information are not submitted by the required deadlines.
