The Hedgehunter Bar (Ground Floor of the Lord Sefton grandstand) which is located alongside the horse walkway will be an alcohol free bar / coffee shop this year. The check point for this area has now been extended (towards the racecourse) which will allow all customers, including Festival Zone ticket-holders to enter this area.
Due to the horse wash-down area being extended the 5 pitches at the Grand National start have been moved slightly, there will be 2 at the entrance to the Silver Birch Hospitality Facility and 3 in the "gap" between the pavilion and the horse wash-down area. Anyone seeking more info feel free to contact DI either beforehand or on the day. These will get chalked up on the Wednesday.
The hospitality stand which is near the GN Start is now a triple tier stand compared to a double stand last year.
Embankment crowd is expected to be similar to last year which will be a mixture of general public and students.
