AGE (Win-Place-Runners) 4yo: 6-11-92 5yo: 3-10-69 6yo: 1-6-37 7yo+: 0-3-32 9 of 10 winners were aged 4 or 5 4yos have won 6 of the last 10 runnings from just 40% of the total runners. Horses aged 6+ have managed just 1 win and 9 places from 69 runners in the past 10 years. Advice is to stick with the younger horses.
WEIGHT (Win-Place-Runners) Horses carrying 9-0 or more: 2-16-94 Horses carrying 8-7 to 8-13: 6-8-72 Horses carrying 8-6 or less: 2-6-64 6 of 10 winners carried 8-7 to 8-13 and they represented just 31.3% of the runners.
OFFICIAL RATINGS Horses rated 97 to 109: 1-9-48 Horses rated 84 to 96: 7-17-148 Horses rated 71 to 83: 2-4-34 5 of the last 6 winners have been officially rated between 90 and 99. That range has also accounted for the 20 of the 24 places in the last 6 years.
RECENT/PAST FORM 9 of 10 winners had won over 7F+ 8 of 10 winners had run in past 40 days 7 of 10 winners ran in a class 2 or higher last time 7 of 10 winners won a race worth 9K+ 6 of 10 winners won at class 3 or higher
TRAINERS David Barron (1-2-4) has found and Michael Jarvis (1-2-5) have both gained a win and 2 places from not many runners in this past 10 runnings. Brian Meehan (1-0-4), Barry Hills (1-0-12) and Dandy Nicholls (1-0-13) have each trained the winner in the past 10 years. Ed Dunlop (0-2-6) and John Akehurst (0-2-7) have each filled a couple of places in the past decade.
DRAW (ignore 2005 race at Lingfield) Horses drawn 1 to 9: 1-12-81 Horses drawn 10 to 20: 6-12-97 Horses drawn 21 or higher: 2-3-34 6 of the last 7 runnings of this race at Ascot have been won by a horse drawn in stalls 10 to 16.
PRICE 5 of 10 winners were priced 14/1 to 33/1 No very strong trend on prices with 5 of the last 10 coming from the first 5 in the betting and then the other 5 were priced 14/1 or bigger. Favourites (3-3-12) have gained 3 wins in the past ten years, giving a level stakes profit of 2.75.
SUMMARY: Based on the trends from the past 10 runnings you are looking for a horse:
· Aged 4 or 5 · Carrying 8-7 to 8-13 · Officially rated 90 to 99 · Won over 7F+ · Ran a class 2 or higher last time out · Run in past 40 days · Drawn 10 to 16 · Trained by Michael Jarvis or David Barron

Always thought he was a decent horse who wanted a (very) fast run uphill 7f (like i'd seen him win over at Leicester as a 2 yr old).Good ground would be fine or a bit softer rather than firmer.
God knows who'll handle the ground on the day or where the best draw is so happy to risk a smallish bet at a huge price just in case the Ascot lottery falls my horses way.

Prime Exhibit seems sure to go well but isn't much of a price. One Way Or Another is another I like. Thebes and Noble Citizen are closely matched on their last run so Noble Citizen looks appealing at the prices.

Spent a couple of hours looking through this earlier and think I might have found one that's a bit of value in Makaamen.
Trends wise he's a good fit; 4yo 8-13 OR93 Won over 7f Class 2 lto Last run 21 days ago Drawn 13
One of, if not the, least exposed in the field he lost his way slightly towards the end of last year after making a very promising start. Debut 2nd behind Evasive with the now 98 rated Infiraad in 3rd as the stables second string on the day reads pretty well. Followed up with a comfortable success when odds on in his maiden the following year. First time in handicap company he won off a mark of 90, by over a length, giving 6lb to the now 103 rated 2nd Wannabe King and 3lb to the 102 rated Fareer.
After that he disapointed in heavy ground at Haydock in May before being off for 5 months and coming back and disapointing again at York. His season ended there but he returned last month in the Spring Cup at Newbury which turned into a very messy race and he got no sort of run at all. He was keen at the start of the race and then for the entire second half he had no room at all and Richard Hills was very easy on him throughout as he was never in the race. Just the outing will have brought him on though and the handicapper has also dropped him 2lb for it. Tadhg O'Shea riding this time who won on him in the handicap last year.
A lot of exposed and/or average sorts in this but maybe Makaamen is won of few who potentially has a lot of improvement left in him.
25/1 at the moment best odds guarenteed.
Savers on Fahey's two and the fav'.

I can see your angle on Makaamen benjy, he is on my shortlist. I have backed Mabait and Dhaular Dhar at 6 and 33 with Billys. I started the season with Mabait as one of my follow till it loses horses and though I hate myself for taking 6s in a race like this I'd hate myself if it won unsupported. As for DD well it has the history, seems well enough in and a reasonable enough draw. Added to my current love affair with the yard that persuaded me despite the age angle.

Short list of 3 for me - Manassas Dandy Boy Makaamen
Also like the fav, but is short enough and has a lot of weight, but could be chucked in. And KGB, might add a saver?

- There has NEVER been a winner rated higher than 99 - No winner has been older than six in the last 25 years - 14/15(@Ascot) have had a double-figure draw - 10/10 No more than 2 runs that season - 8/10 had w/pl in a field of 17+ runners
Few things to add to the stats:- There has NEVER been a winner rated higher than 99- No winner has been older than six in the last 25 years- 14/15(@Ascot) have had a double-figure draw- 10/10 No more than 2 runs that season- 8/10 had w/pl in a field
I've changed my mind and gone for Advanced. Doesn't fit the age/weight trends but stuff trends. He goes well in these big field races and 7f is his trip these days I reckon, 25/1 looks a good price to me, gl all.

Gone off Crown Choice, Splendorinthegrass stands out to me now
Dunelight, Advanced, Thebes and Noble Citzen all drawn nearby usually like to be there or thereabouts with the leaders, so there should be some pace up that side of the track. Pretty consistent horse who won lto and a mark of 98 looks more than fair to me, looks pretty unexposed imv. 4 and 5 year olds are what usually win this race iirc
Decent price, worth a pop imv

nah, like SITG now obv but prob have to cover on Crown Choice having flagged him up very early.
Decent racing all round tomorrow, may well be off to Haddock yet

Hadn't noticed this thread. Big noise, won first time up last season, has gone well in bigish fields, back to 1lb above last win backed ew. Also backed Dandy boy, trainer doesn't bring too many over and he did me a favour at the leger meeting last year with santo padre, this horse is lightly raced and looked progressive last year, had a sharpener already. One final dart on makaamen ew.

One way Or Another for me, unlucky last time over a distance too short (has won over 10f in Aus).
Top of my ratings on his 2nd over a straight 7f last year at Newmarket, will probably be well backed for this as he was then.
Jeremey Gask comes from Australia (where the prize money is a lot better than here) and took the trouble to bring this horse over here.
The draw could be good or bad, we'll see but at 20/1 or so he must be thereabouts and I don't think the favorite has improved over 10lbs on his 14th run as a 4yo so he's a lay to me.
Good luck if you back it.

its arsecot so small stakes titan triumph for me all the unlikely premise he isnt a turf horse but this isnt really a turf track anymore 90 is a fair mark now and the re appearance run last at lingers was better than it appeared.

absolute minefield with draw /pace bias to rule. Unfortunately it will be after the event B4 we find out. If Mabait has draw & pace in his favour then only 1 winner imo.
