A huge day on Boxing Day with eight domestic horse racing fixtures, but
the festive highlight as racing resumes after a three day break is the King
George VI Meeting at Kempton Park.
The King George VI Chase is the featured race of the day as punters will
look to get their Xmas expenses paid for – a race in recent years we’ve
seen horse racing greats like Kauto Star, Long Run, Best Mate, Kicking
King, One Man and, more recently, Silviniaco Conti, landing the prize.
We take a look at each race on the card and highlight the main trends –
hopefully this will help you narrow down the fields and point you in the
direction of a few winners.
12:50 - William Hill On Your Mobile Novices'
Hurdle Race 2m
8/8 – Had raced in the last 7 weeks
7/8 – Aged 4 or 5 years-old
7/8 – Winning distance 3 lengths or more
7/8 – Favourites placed in the top 3
7/8 – Returned 7/2 or shorter in the betting
6/8 – Won just once over hurdles before
5/8 – Winning favourites
5/8 – Had won a NH Flat race before
3/8 – Ridden by Richard Johnson
2/8 – Trained by Nicky Henderson
2/8 – Ridden by Barry Geraghty
The average winning SP in the last 8 runnings is 10/3.
We get started on Boxing Day at Kempton with a Novice Hurdle race – a
contest the Nicky Henderson yard have done well in recently.
The Seven Barrows yard have won the prize twice in the last 8 years and
look to have another cracking chance – this year with ALTIOR.
This 5 year-old ticks the age trends too, and was a gutsy winner at
Cheltenham last time out.
The yard has given him 41 days to get over that but that was his third
win from three over hurdles and there should be more to come.
Gold Cup-winning jockey, Nico de Boinville has ridden the horse in all of
his victories (4) so will also be putting his unbeaten partnership on the
line.

1.25 - William Hill Winter Festival Novices“

9/11 – Raced within the last 5 weeks
7/11 – Placed favourites (1 joint)
6/11 – Officially rated between 119 and 125
6/11 – Carried 11-6 or more
6/11 – Winning distance – 6 lengths or more

2/11 – Raced at Kempton last time out
The first of the LIVE C4 races at Kempton this Boxing Day sees a
competitive Novices’ Handicap Chase that always attracts some promising
hedge-hoppers. It’s also been a decent contest for the trend lovers with
plenty of key repeating stats that should help us whittle down the runners
and pinpoint the horses with the best winning profiles.
Firstly, it’s unlikely we’ll get many horses aged 8 or older running in this
Novices’ race so it’s no surprise that horses aged 7 or younger have won
ALL of the last 11 renewals. Next up is to look for horses that had won
either none or just one previous race over fences in the UK – 10 of the
last 11 winners have fitted that trend.
Coming into this contest in-form is another key stat, with 9 of the last 11
winners having finished first or second in their most recent race, while it’s
been a fair contest for the market leader with 55% of the last 11
favourites taking the prize.
Look for horses that raced in the last five weeks, suggesting a fitter horse
with a recent blow-out is a good profile to have. This again applies to 9 of
the last 11 winners.
French bred horses have taken 4 of the last 11 renewals, while in terms of
stables and jockeys to note then look no further than Nicky
Henderson-trained runners, or Richard Johnson-ridden horses.
With all that in-mind two horses that three horses at stand out are
ANTONY, BEKKENSFIRTH and BUCKHORN TIMOTHY.
Antony was a good winner at Sandown last time out at Sandown and this
5 year-old looks a real improver for the Gary Moore team.
Bekkensfirth did it well at Leicester last time out to win by 13 lengths and
despite this being a step-up in grade looks a novice going in the right
direction.

Finally, Buckhorn Timothy improved last time out to run second at
Chepstow but that was over a bit further than today’s trip and the step
down in distance looks sure to suit.
2.00 - Kauto Star Novices“ Chase (In memory
of Nigel Clark) (formerly The Feltham
Novices“ Chase) (Grade 1) Cl1 3m CH4
12/12 – Placed in the top two last time out
12/12 – Raced within the last 6 weeks
10/12 – Won last time out
9/12 – Returned 5/2 or shorter in the betting
9/12 – Had won at least 2 times over fences in the UK
9/12 – French (5) or Irish (4) bred
9/12 – Winning distance – 3 lengths or more
8/12 – Aged 6 or younger
8/12 – Placed favourites
8/12 – Went onto run in that season’s RSA Chase (no winners)
7/12 – Winning favourites
6/12 – Aged 6 years-old
6/12 – Had won (chase) over at least 3m before
6/12 – Raced at Newbury last time out
2/12 – Trained by Paul Nicholls
2/12 – Trained by David Pipe
2/12 – Ridden by Ruby Walsh
2/12 – Ridden by Tom Scudamore
2/12 – Raced at Cheltenham last time out
1/12 – French trained
1/12 – Went onto run in the Cheltenham Gold Cup (One winner -
Coneygree 2015)
Note: The 2005 running was staged at Sandown
The second LIVE C4 race on this cracking card gives racing fans the
chance to see some of the potential staying chase stars of the future,
plus, can also be a good guide to horses that will run in the RSA Chase
and the Cheltenham Festival later that season.
In recent years we’ve seen the likes of Long Run, Grands Crus and
Dynaste take this prize, while 12 months ago Coneygree won this before
going onto Cheltenham Gold Cup glory the following March.
If the recent trends are to be repeated then you simply must have horses
that were placed first or second on your side – ALL of the last 12 winners
fit in that category. Another key stat that ALL of the last 12 winners fit is
4
having raced in the last six weeks, so hopefully those two trends
combined will put a line through some of the runners.
Coming here off the back of a victory is also key with 10 of the last 12
tasting success last time out. It’s also not been the best of races for the
bookmakers in recent years with 9 of the last 12 winners returning 5/2 or
shorter in the betting, while over that period we’ve seen seven winning
favourites (8 of the last 12 market leaders have been placed).
French (5) and Irish (4) bred horses are also worth keeping on side, and
in terms of age then 6 year-olds hold the best record – winning 50% of
the last 12 renewals.
Always look back at the previous run as 8 of the last 12 winners raced at
either Cheltenham (2) or Newbury (6) last time out and six of the last 12
victors had also won a chase race over at least 3m in the past.
The Paul Nicholls and David Pipe yards have won four of the last 12
runnings between then – with the Pipe’s actually landing two of the last
four – therefore, anything these two power-house stables send to post
should certainly be given a second glance.
So taking the trends into account then Un Temps Pour Tout will be hoping
to continue the good run of the Pipe team, but the Tizzard’s NATIVE
RIVERbeat that horse into second last time out and looks to be going
the right way.
This 5 year-old ticks a lot of the key trends, including running at Newbury
last time out. Of the rest, SOUTHFIELD ROYALE and TEA FOR TWO are
others that catch the eye.
2.35 - williamhill.com Christmas Hurdle
(Grade 1) Cl1 2m CH4
11/13 – Raced within the last 6 weeks
11/13 – Had won at least 4 times over hurdles before
10/13 – Placed favourites
10/13 – Returned 11/4 or shorter in the betting
8/13 – Went onto run in the Champion Hurdle (Faughan (2015) only
winner)
8/13 – Won last time out
7/13 – Irish trained
7/13 – Ran in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle last time out
7/13 – Went onto finish in the top 5 in the Champion Hurdle that season
6/13 – Had run over hurdles at Kempton before
6/13 – Winning favourites
5/13 – French bred
4/13 – Trained by Nicky Henderson
2/13 – Trained by Jonjo O’Neill
5
Note: The 2005 running was staged at Sandown
The 2010 renewal was run on 15thJan 2011
The Christmas Hurdle has always been considered a target race for
potential Champion Hurdle contenders with 8 of the last 13 winners going
onto run in that opening day Cheltenham Festival showpiece – 7 of those
finished in the top five. However, only Faughan 12 months ago has done
the double in recent years.
Nicky Henderson’s Binocular did win this race in 2010 and 2011, but his
Champion Hurdle winning year was the season before the first of his wins
in this race – Henderson’s Seven Barrows yard have won the race four
times in the last five years.
Look for horses that raced in the last six weeks as 11 of the last 13
winners fall into that bracket, while the same amount had won at least
four times previously over hurdles.
It’s been another race the bookies have not had the best of time in of late
with 6 of the last 13 favourites going in, while 10 of the last 13 market
leaders hit the frame and also returned 11/4 or shorter in the betting.
Winning last time out is a key stat too (8 of the last 13), plus a lot of
winners (7) contested the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle (28
th Nov)
before heading here.
Previous Kempton experience is another plus with 46% of recent winners
having raced at the Sunbury-on-Thames venue in the past, while 38% of
the last 13 winners were French-bred.
So the Nicky Henderson team will be trying to land this prize yet again,
but really on all known form last year’s winner of this race – FAUGHEEN
– should take all the beating.
Last season’s Champion Hurdle winner suffered a shock defeat last time
out at Punchestown but that was his first run over 6 months so it can be
forgiven. He’s got plenty in-hand on the ratings and with winning course
form should be able to follow-up.

The average winning SP in the last 13 years is 7/2
Onto the ‘big one’ and the race the ‘once-a-year’ festive punters try and
get the bookies to pay for their turkeys. In recent years it’s actually been
a fairly easy way to get a few of those Christmas expenses paid for with 9
of the last 13 favourites going in.
NH fans have certainly had it good in this race and with the likes of Kauto
Star reeling off a record-breaking five wins, plus Long Run and Kicking
King winning the prize twice then it’s been a good race for past winners.
With that in mind the winner of the race for the past two seasons –
Silviniaco Conti – is sure to be popular again despite his recent defeat in
the Betfair Chase.
7
This 9 year-old will be looking to land the prize for an astonishing tenth
time for his trainer Paul Nicholls, while since 2006 there has only been
two winning stables of the race – Nicholls (7) and Henderson (2).
There are plenty of other key stats that should help you whittle down the
runners, like ALL of the last 13 winners being a previous winner of a
Grade One chase and either French or Irish bred.
12 of the last 13 victors had raced in the last five weeks, while 8 of those
13 contested the Betfair Chase at Haydock last time out. Silviniaco Conti
and Cue Card will be big players based on those stats, but with them both
being 9 year-olds they do fall down on the age trend – 10 of the last 13
winners were aged 8 or younger.
The last Irish-trained winner was Kicking King in 2005, but they look to
have a strong-hand of improving that with the likes of Don Cossack (8
years-old) and Vautour (6 years-old) - Vautour will be hoping to follow
the likes of Kauto Star, Long Run and Kicking King – who all won this race
as a 6 year-old, plus he’ll also be looking to give trainer Willie Mullins his
second King George winner, with his last coming in 2001 with Florida
Pearl. However, he’s yet to win over 3m and with 11 of the last 13 having
that trend on their side then he does have this negative to overcome.
It’s a set-up to be a crackerjack of a race with a strong Irish presence this
year, plus the rejuvenated Cue Card, but back at Kempton the value looks
to sit with the winner of the last two runnings SILVINIACO CONTI
(e/w).
Yes, Cue Card put him in his place last time out but Paul Nicholls’ 9
year-old will be better for the run and back at Kempton we think there
won’t be a lot between the two – especially with Cue Card having a bit to
prove at the track – his last three runs at the course, and in this race,
read 5-2-5. Of the Irish raiders there could be more improvement to
come from Vautour being just 6 years-old, but DON COSSACKhas
impressed this term and after this impressive win in the JNWine.com
Chase last time out will head here spot-on.
15:45 - William Hill World Darts
Championship Handicap Hurdle Race 2m5f
8/8 – Won no more than 3 times (UK Hurdles)
7/8 – Aged 6 or younger
7/8 – Won between 0-2 times hurdles (UK)

6/8 – Returned 8/1 or shorter
6/8 – Placed in the top 3 last time out
5/8 – Ran 4 or less weeks ago
5/8 – Officially rated 120-128
5/8 – Aged 5 or 6 years-old
4/8 – Unplaced favourites
4/8 – Won last time out
4/8 – French bred
3/8 – Winning favourites
2/8 – Trained by Nicky Henderson
The average winning SP in the last 8 runnings is 8.3/1
Not on C4 but still some key trends to take into the race. Horses aged 6
or younger have gone well – winning 7 of the last 8 renewals, but ideally
we want to look for horses that raced no more than 3 times over hurdles
– and of those horses that won between 0-2 times.
Nicky Henderson has a decent record in the race so anything that stable
runs should be noted.
However, the Warren Greatrex camp seem to have a good batch of horses
at the moment and their BELLS ‘N’ BANJOScatches the eye.
This 5 year-old was a good winner at Fontwell last time out over a similar
trip and has won on a variety of different grounds so will be fine on that
score too. Yes, a 14lb rise in the ratings makes life harder, but jockey
Harry Bannister takes off a handy 3lbs which helps.
BONUS: Wetherby Horse Racing Trends

1.45 - 188Bet Rowland Meyrick Handicap
Chase (Grade 3) Cl1 3m45y CH4
8/8 – Didn’t win last time out
7/8 – Unplaced in their last race
7/8 – Aged 8 or younger
7/8 – Had won 3 or less times over fences (UK)
6/8 – Carried 11-0 or less in weight

6/8 – Aged 7 or 8 years-old
6/8 – Raced in the last 5 weeks

5/8 – Had raced at Wetherby before
5/8 – Had won over 3m (chase) before
4/8 – Raced at either Haydock (2) or Aintree (2) last time out
4/8 – Irish bred
1/8 – Winning favourites
The average winning SP in the last 8 runnings is 10/1.
Several key trends to take into this race but last year’s winner DOLATULO
was a pleasing third last time out at Aintree and with that run under his
belt should be spot-on for this.
This Warren Greatrex 8 year-old is 7lb higher than 12 months ago, but
that recent outing off this mark has shown he’s improving still and with
the yard going great guns at the moment then everything looks set-up for
a big run. Warren Greatrex’s Dolatulo also won the race 12 months ago.
Holywell is the class act in the race, but does have to give a lot of weight
away and does have a bit to prove based on recent runs.
The Kerry Lee-trained TOP GAMBLE is the other to have on your side. This
horse is a past course winner here and fits plenty of the key trends. He
won’t mind the softer ground and the talented David Noonan takes off a
handy 5lbs too.
