Think this is worth a thread before we all get Cheltenhamitis.
I've not looked closely yet but from a trends perspective there are some interesting ones.
The first one is that French or Irish Bred horses have won 9 of the last 10 runnings but only represented 53% of the total runners..thats a nice positive impact value to kick off with.
The second trend is that horses carrying 11-0 or more are 0/73..again this is a positive impact value..202 horses have run so those carrying less than 11.0 have supplied 63% of the runners..but given 100% of the winners
trainer stats also a little interesting
Nicholls = 0/12
Pipe = 3/13
Henderson 1/13
French + Irish bred with less than 11.0
