The British Horseracing Board yesterday unveiled the programme for the inaugural summer jumping campaign, in which six courses will stage 21 new fixtures, including 13 in the evening, in June and July.
Along with £502,850 in prize-money, there will be £20,400 available in appearance money and a £16,000 sponsored championship for owners and trainers.
The six courses in the programme are Market Rasen, Perth, Southwell, Stratford, Uttoxeter and Worcester.
An evening meeting will start the new season at Perth on 8 June and it will end with another evening card at Worcester on 27 July. The courses involved in the venture, which is on a two-year trial, will be required to provide well-watered ground.
