The National Hunt season in Britain essentially runs all year round, but the meat of the campaign takes place from October through until April.
The autumn brings a changing of the guard from Flat racing to jumps, with some major meetings in October signalling the sway.
From there, the jumps campaign builds nicely towards a spring crescendo via the major festivals at Cheltenham and Aintree before the season-ending bet365-sponsored Finale Meeting at Sandown in late April.
