The Arkle
- Trends
Age
- A fairly recent statistic that proves very profitable is to back any
five year olds each way, the useful weight allowance received in a race
where perfect jumping is a must seems to have a greater advantage over
the general greater experience of the older runners in this Festival
race.
Recent Form and Experience
- Only back a horse that comes into the race with either a win or 2nd
place last time out, the only exception to this was a F on the form and
that was a fall of a horse that was almost certain to win! Previous
Cheltenham form isn't such a strong stat as you might imagine but classy
hurdling form is a strong plus.
Market Position
- Not a strong race for favourites though you should be looking for a
horse in the top 3 or 4 in the betting and the best value comes from
backing the fourth favourite over the last 10 years.
Trainers
- Pipe, Nicholls and Henderson have great win and place strike rates
in the race.
Other Positives
- French bred horses have a good record in the last 15 years.
PERFECTION: Go for a French bred 5
year old trained by one of the leading English trainers, who is around 4th
in the betting who has good recent form and was top class over hurdles.
