Usually a strong trend race and it pays to focus on particular trends. A Plus Tard (6/1), Kemboy (14/1), Frodon (14/1), and Lostintranslation (33/1) have the best EW profiles.

Correlation between position, OR (165), Grade 1 - 2, and Best RPR (172)

Winner analysis:

As well as the significant stats I focus on horses who have ran at the Festival previously, and horses who come here fresh with at least a 40-day layoff but preferably 60+ days. Al Boum Photo (5/2) meets all of the significant stats, the correlation and has had the same preparation as the previous two years and I think people underestimate him. He ticks every box and is looking join a select list of horses to win three Gold Cups. A Plus Tard is a horse I’m keen on and I have backed him at bigger prices shortly after his Christmas win, he also meets all of the significant stats and correlation and with a clear round I'm hoping he will be bang there at the finish. Champ (5/1) has many stats in his favour, however the quickish turnaround is a negative for me as is his unusual preparation. Kemboy (5 sig stats and correlation) won well last time out, however I just wonder if that was his target and that he was primed for that day, his Cheltenham form is also a bit suspect. Frodon does nothing but surprise people and he meets all the significant stats and at the price I can see people playing him EW, I think his King George form however lacks substance to win this. Native River (16/1) is the final horse to meet all of the key stats, however age is against him. He would need a deluge and the ground to turn heavy for me to take an interest.

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.

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
