This is more a trend than a stat but worth noting early.
11/3/25 – Cheltenham Day 1 – 1440 Ultima Handicap Chase
Trends suggest a strong profile for winners and 10 of the last 12 winners in this race were aged between 7 & 9 and all had a ratings of 140 or higher. Market leaders have struggled with only two favourites winning, though seven were in the top three in the betting.
Now, Cheltenham experience is key here as every winner in the last 12 years had a run out there before!
Stamina – all twelve winners over the twelve years have won over three miles or further before!
Worth noting.
