Trainers: John Gosden has saddled the winner twice but he has had 18 runners.
Trends Summary: This has been an open race if you look at the prices of the winners and the best starting point is to focus on runners carrying less weight – 8st 12lb or less has been the cut-off point in recent years with 9 of the last 10 winners carrying no more than that. There are some interesting negative trends worth noting such as poor performances for LTO winners and horses that raced over 9f or more LTO.

GENERAL TRENDS

Race type LTO: 3 winners raced in non handicaps LTO from 53 runners (SR 5.7%); 7 winners raced in handicaps LTO from 130 runners (SR 5.4%).
Trends Summary: Not a great race for favourites but then this is always a competitive handicap with a big field. Horses priced 7/1 to 14/1 have been the most successful, as have relatively lightly raced animals (6 races or less). Horses that finished in the first 3 LTO also have a good record. Trainers Sir Michael Stoute and Mark Johnston seem to target this race.
