WIN RACE TICKETS & £50 FREE BET

See the famous Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle Racecourse

-

Temperatur­es are falling but the jump-racing season is hotting up.

We’ve teamed up with big race sponsor Unibet to offer you the chance to win tickets for two at Newcastle Racecourse on Saturday, December 2, when the feature race will be the famous Fighting Fifth Hurdle.

First run in 1969 and now a significan­t and valuable race in its own right with a purse of £120,000, the Unibet Fighting Fifth Hurdle is the fourth leg of the eight-race Road To Cheltenham hurdles series, one of the leading trials for the Unibet Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March.

Last year saw the Paul Nicholls-trained Irving win the Fighting Fifth for a second time and it is thought that Nicky Henderson may run the current champion hurdler Buveur D’ Air in next month’s race.

We have FIVE pairs of Premier

admission tickets to be won and ONE of the lucky winners will also receive a £50 free bet with Unibet.

To have a chance of winning, place your answer, to the following question, on the entry form on the right:

How many races are there in the Unibet Road To Cheltenham series?

The first correct entry drawn after the closing date of Monday, November 27, will win a pair of tickets for the Fighting Fifth meeting at Newcastle Racecourse, plus a £50 free bet with Unibet. The next four correct entries will each win a pair of tickets for the race meeting.

Terms & conditions: Entrants must be aged 18 or over; hospitalit­y, travel expenses and accommodat­ion are not included; no alternativ­e prize will be offered in the event that racing is abandoned; conditions apply to the use of the free bet. You can enter as many times as you wish but the en-

try form from the Echo must be used – no photocopie­s accepted. Free bet extra terms &

conditions: To receive the free £50 bet, you must hold or open a Unibet account. If the free bet winner is already a Unibet customer, they will email roymantle@hotmail.com with their username and account number. If not, they will have to go to www. unibet.com, open an account and email these details to the same address. Your account will then credited. The free bet will expire after seven days. You can split up your free bet into smaller amounts if you wish – for example, to place two £25 bets. Any returns from the free bet will not include the stake.
