Moving forward, this weekend sees some decent looking racing, weather permitting, with the 32Red Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle at Kempton over 2m 5f and the Grade 3 Betfred Classic Handicap Chase at Warwick, over a stamina-sapping 3m 5f, which is the best race run at that venue over the season. Here are some notable trainer stats from both those two races and tracks.
Kempton
Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle – 2m 5f
In the past 20 years, six trainers have won 60% of the renewals from just 26% of the runners. So should any of the trainers below have a runner they need to be kept onside:
Nick Williams – 3 winners from 3 runners 100% +17
Paul Nicholls – 3 winners from 15 runners +2.75 6 placed 40%
Venetia Williams – 2 winners from 13 runners 15% +1.75
Gary Moore – 2 winners from 14 runners 14% +16 4 placed 29%
Nicky Henderson – 2 winners from 24 runners 8% -8 9 placed 38%

Warwick Trainer Stats (2014+)
Nicky Henderson (Handicap Hurdles) – 4 winners from 9 runners 44% +13.85 A/E 2.33 6 placed 67%
Dan Skelton (Handicap Chases) – 7 winners from 17 runners +7.91 A/E 1.64 10 placed 59% – I wouldn’t rule out his longer priced runners as he has had a runner at 25/1 placed but when the money is down it’s worth noting he is – 7 winners from 10 runners 70% +14.91 A/E 1.87 8 placed 80% with horses going off 4/1 & under.
There we go a taster of some trainers whose runners will be worth checking at Kempton and Warwick on Saturday.
