Tuesday Review

A superb day of racing with the highlight for me being Honeysuckle and Rachael Blackmore winning the Champion Hurdle and becoming the first female jockey to do so. Shishkin looked awesome and already looks the one to beat in next years Champion Chase, whilst Appreciate It, who looks every inch a chaser for next year and was superb.

In terms of the significant stats, 14/17 were upheld which is good to see as it shows they help when narrowing down the fields and this is why they can be useful. The Mares race had two significant stats which didn’t uphold which I’m not too disappointed about since it is the 1st year I’ve used them and the data may be skewed because of Quevega! I’m just glad in the review I suggested Black Tears as an EW option. The Boodles was a frustrating race with Saint Sam finishing second, well done to anyone who backed the winner, it was never on my radar. The Supreme Novices, Ultima Handicap, Arkle and NH Chase stats held up well, especially the later which highlighted the first 3 (no I didn’t do the tricast) home.

Whilst I’ve enjoyed watching today, it simply isn’t the same as either being on course or sat with friends in the pub watching…bring on next year already. 

Wednesday update and Thursdays handicaps to come.

Supreme Novices' Hurdle

EW Stats: Age: 5-6 = 92% Bred: IRE, FR = 85% Runs: 2-4 = 94% Hurdle wins: 1-3 = 92% Won on a left-handed track: = 79% LTO: 1-2 = 90% Days: 20+ = 94% OR: S.D = 141+ Mean = 148+ Best RPR: S.D = 141+ Mean = 148+ Crosstab Age/Bred: 5-6 FR 5-7 IRE/GB S.P: Mean 10s and under EW Analysis : At the moment it is looking a competitive race, more so now that Ballyburn is being aimed at the Gallaghers. Tullyhill (4/1) has the strongest EW profile, and I would expect Paul Townend to take the ride and try and make all. Slade Steel (6/1) has the next best profile and providing the ground does not dry up too much looks a fair EW shout. Win Stats: Age: 5-6 = 94% Bred: IRE, FR, GB = 100% Days: 20+ = 88% Runs: 2-4 = 94% LTO: 1st = 88% Grade: 1-listed = 93% 1-2 = 75% Hurdle wins: 2-3 = 88% Won left-handed: = 81% OR: S.D = 144+ Mean = 149+ RPR: S.D = 145+ Mean = 149+ Crosstab Age/Bred: 5-6 FR/GB 6-7 IRE SP Mean: = 7's and under Significant Stats: RPR 145+ high sig 151+ SP 12s and under Positive correlat

Grand National Handicap Chase

Win Stats: Age: 8-11 = 90% Bred: IRE, FR, = 95%  Days: 21-84. S.D. 21-52 Runs: 3-6 = 95% LTO: 1-5 = 88% Chase Runs: 1+ = 100% Distance 24f+ = 90% BRPR: 144+ Mean 154+ OR: 136-160 S.D. 139-154 Weight: 10-3 – 11-9 S.D. 10-5 – 11-3 Crosstab Age/Bred: FR 9-11 IRE 8-11 Significant Stats: Runs 3+ Winner analysis: Quite a few horses meet the sig stat but when applying the general stats I’ve produced a shortlist of Corach Rambler (8/1), Ain’t That A Shame (50/1), Vanillier (12/1), Galia Des Liteaux (28/1), Panda Boy (11/1) and I Am Maximus (15/2).

Arkle Challenge Trophy Novices' Chase

EW Stats: Age: 5-8 = 98% Bred: IRE, FR = 85% Distance: = 97% Runs: 2-5 = 88% LTO: 1-3 = 92% Days: 21+ = 97% Chase wins: 1-3 = 89% Won left-handed: = 86% OR: S.D = 145+ Mean = 153+ RPR: S.D = 150+ Mean = 158+ Hurdles OR: S.D. 134+ Mean 146+ Crosstab Age/Bred: 5-8 FR 6-8 Other EW Analysis : There does not appear to be an obvious superstar in the field which means it is looking a competitive Arkle. Gaelic Warrior (4/1) has been well backed over the last 24 hours due to Rich Ricci’s comments however I would be genuinely concerned about his tendency to jump right, even more so on the old course which is used for the first two days. Il Etait Temps (9/2) has the best EW profile along with Facile Vega (12/1), however the latter looks unlikely to run in this race at present, if he did though I will be backing EW. IET won at the DRF last time out, but again, I am not sure the course will suit but I can see him staying on for place money so looks a solid play. The next
