HERE’S something to warm you up! Temperatures are falling but the jump racing season is hotting up with the Unibet Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock Park one of the highlights of the January fixtures.

With a £75,000 purse the Haydock showpiece attracts some of the best hurdlers in the country, and you could be there to watch this sixth leg of the Road to Cheltenham race series which climaxes with the Unibet Champion Hurdle on the opening day of The Festival in March.

We’ve teamed up with big race sponsor Unibet to offer you the chance to win a pair of County Enclosure tickets for one of the north west’s top race meetings. Previous winners of the Champion Hurdle Trial include such illustrious names as Dato Star, Rooster Booster and Inglis Drever. Last year Sam Twiston-Davies triumphed for the fourth year in a row on The New One, trained by his father Nigel.

You and a companion could be there on Saturday, January 19 to enjoy the superb racing action.
