I will look at the key stats for the main races over the next 2/3 weeks and closer to the day I will then see which horses these stats highlight.

The stats are based on the last 9 years.

I will start with the Supreme Novice Hurdle.

1. Horses in the first 3 in the betting have a very strong record, 9 wins from 31 runs with a profit of 26 points. The AE is 1.44. The remainder have 1 win from 100 runs with a loss of 59 points.

2. Horses with an OR of 145 or above have 9 wins from 40 runs with with a profit of 17 points. The AE is 1.37.

3. The horse should be ridden by the same jockey. Horses ridden by a different jockey have a record of 0 from 35.
