Winner analysis: The two mares Lossiemouth (5/2) and Brighterdaysahead (4/1) both match two of the key trends. Lossiemouth misses the last-time-out trend, while Brighterdaysahead falls short on seasonal wins, which has been a common feature among recent winners. The New Lion (5/2) meets just one of the main trends, and his current Official Rating and best Racing Post Rating sit sl...

Welcome to this year’s Cheltenham Festival Significant Horse Racing Stats page. For new readers and followers, the aim of this blog is to provide key statistics and trends for most of the races. More importantly, it highlights the most significant patterns that may help narrow large fields down to a smaller group of realistic contenders. Some races include up to 20 years of historical data, while others—particularly handicaps—are based on at least the last 10 years of results. This page is not intended as a tipping service.
