Grand Annual - Trends

 

Age

  • A race that falls down on the side of youth over the minimum trip, rule out any horse aged double figures or older, they just don't have the raw speed required to take this.

Recent Form and Experience

  • You need a horse in form, any horse not in the first four in its last outing have a statistical Everest to climb, and last time out winners have the best record by far, so side with a last time winner. You should also side with a horse that had its last run between 10 and 40 days before this event.

Market Position

  • Favourites have a good record, but some each way value is the way to go from a betting point of view and the long priced horses make the frame most years and even the occasional few winners.

Trainers

  • A race that the Irish trainers seem to love to target, so keep them on your side.

Other Positives

  • The horses at the bottom of the handicap out perform the rest here and with no room for jumping errors the light weight are more likely to get the perfect clear round required so go with horses weighted 10st- 10st2lbs.

PERFECTION: An Irish trained horse under ten years old, with winning form within the last 2-5weeks, that is carrying less than 10st3lbs and back it each way at odds of 12/1 or longer.
