World Hurdle

Race Profile: The leading long-distance hurdle race in the National Hunt calendar. It has been dominated in recent years by Big Buck’s, but his injury enforced absence has opened up the race.

Race Trends:

19 of the last 22 winners finished in the top two last time out.
A prominent runner hasn’t won any of the last 10 renewals.
No Irish winner for 18 years.

Horses that fit all the trends:
Oscar Whisky 4/1 Blue Square
Reve De Sivola 9/2 Bet365
Peddlers Cross 9/1 Blue Square
Wonderful Charm 11/1 Bet365
Smad Place 12/1 Bet365

Anti Trends Selection:
Bog Warrior 9/1 Bet365
Bog Warrior put in a career best performance winning on his first attempt at 3 miles. If the ground were to come up soft he could give Ireland their first winner in the race for 18 years.
