Mal Boyle's Stat Attack: Sunday October 22


Mal Boyle brings you his stats-based look at today's racing, with a focus on the all-weather card at Southwell.

Kempton (National Hunt)

35 races – 19 winning favourites – All 35 winners scored at 12/1 or lower.

Average Placepot dividend: £142.82
Highest dividend: £468.70 (2016)
Lowest dividend: £7.50 (2013)

Leading trainer at the corresponding meeting during the five-year study period:

6 winners - Nigel Twiston-Davies (5/1, 9/2, 7/2**, 1/2*, 2/11* (twice) – 1 runner today: Better Days (4.50)

Nigel has benefited from three victories by The New One in recent years, though it should be noted that the trainer secured a 30/1 treble in 2014, followed by an 11/2 double the following year.

Southwell (All-weather)

This is a new fixture on the calendar. If we go back to the last all-weather fixture at Southwell, I note that the meeting produced a Placepot dividend of £3,558.70.

Eric Alston secured a 35/1 double at the course that day and having held two entries for the meeting last week, he now relies on Lord Franklin (5.10) who makes his Fibresand debut

If we look back to last week’s entries, it’s worth noting that leading trainer Michael Appleby (17 winners at the track during the last 12 months) runs every one of the seven options he held before the weekend.

Richard Fahey sits fourth in the list on the eight-winner mark, with the trainer having offered the green light to his only option five days ago, namely Penwortham (3.05).
