Cheltenham Timeform 1-2-3 Three year Trends

Timeform has a star rating system to which it grades each and every horse raced in Britain. These are a series of Blogs that chart the 3 year trends of the top 3 horses as rated by Timeform for the Cheltenham Festival. The aim of this is to determine whether or not a £1.00 level bet on each of the selections would produce a profit overall (There are 7 races each day therefore max loss each day would be £21.00)
