Cheltenham Timeform 1-2-3 Three year Trends Day 4 Race 1

The Triumph Hurdle is the opening race of Gold Cup day and the Spring Hurdle seem to be a popular proving ground with 5 of the last 10 winners having placed or won this event the previous month at Leopardstown. No one trainer has won this race more than twice in the last 10 years and Gordon Elliott certainly won’t be making it 3 this year. Hendersons’ 2019 win with Pentland Hills was his second but only because Goshen threw the race away.

Cheltenham Timeform 1-2-3 Three year Trends Day 3 Race 7

The Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup Amateur Riders Handicap Chase was formerly run on day two but was moved to day 3 in 2009 and is now run on the new course from its original running on the old course. If this race is run this year, professional jockeys will take up the reins as our government is pathetic!! Anyway here are the last 3 years Timeform 1-2-3 stats.

Cheltenham Timeform 1-2-3 Three year Trends Day 3 Race 6

The Trull House Stud Mares Novices’ Hurdle Is now in its sixth renewal and this year is known as the Daylesford Mares Novices’ Hurdle.

Note : It would be very possible that as Mullins had won the previous 4 renewals of this race that covering all four of his entries considering that one of them was co fav. But this is a study on just Timeform 1-2-3 – Blind obedience is key!!

Cheltenham Timeform 1-2-3 Three year Trends Day 3 Race 5

The Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate Handicap Chase is a bit of a mouthful but for this year Paddy Power has taken over the sponsorship. The first running of this race in 1951 ended in a dead heat and as far as I can discern is the only dead heat at the festival. Perhaps someone can put this right if not. It would be a great pub quiz question if it is!
