If the Haydock one is doubtful because of weather, expect hundreds of entries from potential runners. I do agree that the whole concept is flawed. You should need to be placed in the first 4 in a qualifier to run so eliminating the ones that have a trot round.

19th February at Haydock...31 entered incl. VALENTINE VIC.

really liked the look of Arcalis for this, trip, ground, festival form, down to 138. sadly dont think he is qualified!! howard johnson will run him in the world hurdle where he has no chance.

2012 Pertemps Final Handicap Hurdle Trends
Thursday 15th March - 14:05 - Pertemps Final (Handicap Hurdle) - Listed - 3m

•Nine of the last sixteen winners won last time out.
•There has only been one winning five-year-old in thirty-seven runnings.
•Only one winner has ran out from the handicap since 1974.
•Horses rated 150 or more have traditionally struggled in this race.
•Horses aged between seven and nine have won half of the runnings in the last sixteen years.
•Irish trained horses have won five of the last nineteen runnings.

There are sixteen Pertemps qualifiers for horses to gain entry into this race so it is useful to check out the results of these. Although they are all key in getting the horses to the Festival in the first place, the Cheltenham Qualifier in October was the route last year's winner Buena Vista took last year and he qualified again this year by placing in that race. Although not a qualifier, The totescoop6 Heroes Handicap Hurdle at Sandown in February is also a good pointer and has highlighted three winners in the last eleven years.

ANYone have a list of the qualifiers handy ?

Our Father (12) , Paint The Clouds (12) , Poungach (12) , Sivola De Sivola (16) , The Knoxs (16) , Buena Vista (20) , Cantlow (20) , Jetson (20) , Five Dream (25) , Safran De Cotte (25) , Across The Bay (33) , Alderley Rover (33) , Kasbadali (33) , Kayf Aramis (33) , Prince Tom (33) , Rival DEstruval (33) , Warnes Way (33)

Anyone got the list of qualifying races?

2.20 on Sunday.........(saving my 5 pointer)
