The Great St Wilfred is the only ‘big’ handicap in focus this week, using my own unique trends. In truth it is a bit of a ‘so-so’ race on that front, however…
3.20 Ripon
A profile of being aged 3-7, NOT drawn stalls 1-3 (0/48,p), 8< career wins, 6< distance wins, having run over 6f last start and being trained in Yorkshire (1/86,13p were not) would point to 15/17 winners, and 14 of the last 15, and IF upholding, always an IF in this trends game of course, would point to a longer list of eight…
Secret Guest, Rock Opera, Mister Sox, Kodiac Thriller, First Folio, Grant Wood, Fivethousandtoone, Azure Zain
It may be worth noting that all 17 winners have been sent off 25/1 or shorter SP.
Claiming jockeys have struggled a bit but of course one of those stats that doesn’t take account of said individuals ability, but they are 1/69, 12p.
IF this went to a pro jockey again, and the winner is on the shortlist above, that would point to Mister Sox, Fivethousandtoone, Azure Zain
Going back to the longlist, 10/17, and 6 of last 7, ran at either Goodwood, Ripon or York on last start and IF that upheld, applied to the longlist above…
Rock Opera, Mister Sox, Kodiac Thriller, First Folio, Grant Wood
I have no other stats of use for this race with my approach, we shall see if they help or hinder!
