EW Analysis:
I
will only discuss horses who are at least 4/1 or above in the EW section.
Ballyadam (7/1) and Metier (7/1) both meet all of the stats and with bookies
offering enhanced placed terms on this race (Will Hill 1st 7 last
year for example) should give you a good run. Blue
Lord (16/1) is next best and is worth a second glance. He should
appreciate a fast pace to help him settle better and looks a decent EW play especially with enhanced places.

Significant Stats:
Age
5+ high sig 6+ (but only IRE Bred)
RPR
143+ high sig 151+
Positive
correlation between position, OR (145+) and RPR (146+)
Winner analysis:
First
of all, it is vital to check OR’s once the decs are made as they can change due
to collateral form etc.
Appreciate
It (7/4) meets both the high sig stats and the correlation and is a worthy fav
based on his grade 1 wins over in Ireland. He showed he handles the course
finishing 2nd in last year’s Champion Bumper and should like the
better ground as well. His only negative is age, however not many 7-year olds
have run in this for it to be analysed in too much detail, the sig age stat just
suggests 4-year olds really struggle to win this. I’ve previously backed the
fav at bigger prices so won’t be going in again at these odds however. Metier
meets both sig stats and the correlation and has a lovely profile for this race
and is a horse I will be backing EW on the day with enhanced places. If he
handles better ground he should be thereabouts. Ballyadam meets the sig stats
and correlation, however does have a couple of general stats to overcome, LTO
and mean RPR. I wouldn’t put anyone backing him EW either. Thedevilscoachman (NR now),
Blue Lord, Soaring Glory (8/1) and Irascible (40/1) also meet the important sig
stats, not the correlation however, and warrant respect. Indeed, Irascible will be one I will look at
again if declared, again with enhanced place terms.
