with the Jump Jockeys Championship decided on winners in all British National Hunt races in 2024\/25 between Saturday 4th May to Saturday 26th April 2025.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite jumps racing in the UK being pretty much all-year-round that includes summer jumping over the months of June, July and August &#8211; the die-hard National Hunt fans really know that their season really runs between October to April.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s over these months that the flat turf action turns to the AW and the focus switches to the jumpers having the main fixtures &#8211; like the King George VI Chase on Boxing Day at Kempton, the Cheltenham Festival in March and, of course, the Grand National at Aintree in April.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/horse-racing\/\">horse racing<\/a> jumps fans feel the Persian War Novices&#8217; Hurdle card at Chepstow (11th-12th Oct), the Cheltenham October Meeting (25th-26th Oct) or the Charlie Hall Chase fixture (2nd Nov) are the three signature meetings that really signify when the jumps season starts properly.<\/p>\n<p>There is no wrong, or right &#8211;
