Why Northern Premier
A smaller field.
A bigger opportunity.
Northern Premier is deliberately capped. With only 250 places and 30 planned final-race prizes, the format puts competition, transparency and a meaningful chance of success first.
Every bird enters the same professionally managed programme, from settling and preparation through to training, qualification and the final race.
