Horse Racing - Formby Hurdle

This race was held at Sandown Park in London as the Tolworth Hurdle until January 2023. It is a hurdles event for four-year-olds and older over an extended two miles.
From December 2023, it was moved to Aintree, Liverpool and its name changed to the Formby Hurdle. Bad weather put paid to the race four times (1979, 1982, 2009 & 2010).

* Held at Ascot (2001), Warwick (2002), Wincanton (2003) & Kempton Park (2014)
