Below you can find a few trainer pointers for this weekends Newmarket Guineas meeting (and one sire to note, guess who?!), as well as a few trends & trainer pointers for Thirsk’s Hunt Cup. The flat has plenty of ‘festivals’ through the season and as with previous years I’ll dig out any relevant trainer pointers where they exist, the odd sire of interest, as well as trends & trainer pointers for any of the ‘big’ handicaps, especially the ‘heritage handicaps’. As always the main aim is to use as a ‘way in’ with the hope that it helps you land on a few winners…

Applying the stats…
Not the strongest of trends races and i’ve used a couple of unusual ones, for all that some logic I think. In any case, the x3 12/12 stats, excluding odds (market has been some guide, 16s or shorter) leave six…
Nugget, Tom Collins, Hartswood, On A Session, Byrons Choice, Global Spirit
Only two are in the ratings sweet spot (historically at least) 86-94… On A Session, Byrons Choice
Of the original list with 1 or 2 runs this season… Nuggest and Global Spirit
Trainers (to have won race with runners)
- Tom Collins
- Hartswood
