Good evening commander - good to see you back on the toppermost of forums

These may help whittle the field down. I shall post my short list tomorrow

Handicap Trends

10/10 – Aged 6 or younger
10/10 - Carried 9-5 or less
9/10 – Had won over 1m2f before
9/10 – Won 3 or more times in their career
9/10 – Carried 9-3 or less
8/10 – Aged between 4 and 6 years-old
8/10 – Won from a double-figure stall
7/10 – Unplaced favourites
7/10 – Rated between 90-100
7/10 – Had 5 or more runs that season
7/10 – Returned a double (or treble) figure price in the betting
6/10 – Carried 8-12 or less
6/10 – Finished 5th or better last time out
5/10 – Ran at Newbury last time out
2/10 – Winning favourites
2/10 – Trained by John Gosden (won the race in 1994 too)
1/10 – Won their last race
The average winning SP in the last 10 years was 24/1
Luca Cumani trained the winner in 1982 & 1986
Sir Mark Prescott trained the winner in 1988 & 1997

Other than watching the race itself,the only other reason for backing a horse is that I'm guaranteed a good priced runner.

However,I've got a nagging feeling about the jockey Mickael Barzalona tomorrow.He's got five runners & I'm trying to convince myself which one will win.

I would also add that recent evidence means you need a horse drawn 20 plus and it cannot be aged 7 or older. Winning form over 1m 2F looks to be essential for this cavalry charge. And no maiden has won

My EW short list commander coming soon

This is the sort of race for some fun and interest bets - not to get serious in!

Good afternoon Durham.

I've been a bit waylaid by grand kids this morning & I only had a few minutes to myself in the bookies.So I've done a quick £1 win double on Beauty Parlour in the 3:00 & Swiftly Done in the Cambridgeshire.

Thirty five horses in a 1mile 1furlong dash is the ultimate cavalry charge & is as unpredictable as the Grand National.

Good luck to you but I hope mine win.

Complete disaster!!

Note to self - don't back in 31 runner races again!

As consolation....football got me out of it!

Tis far better to gamble with cash than to gamble with your life and that of your partner.

One cannot disagree with those wise words

In addition, I only have 1 life and 1 partner.

I have plenty of money though - excellent advice
