The County Handicap Hurdle has been won by just two trainers in the past 6 years Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton and with the exception of Wicklow Brave in 2015 the winning horses have either won or placed last time out. There is no particular pattern to any previous race as “last time out” ranges from 418 days to 6 days as in the case of the aforementioned Wicklow Brave.
Saint Roi was the 1st favourite to win last year in ten years but we need to note that Mullins was having a ball and Saint Roi was heavily backed in from 6/1 to 9/2 eventually drifting out to its S.P. of 11/2.
