2026 Denman Chase Trends

/in /by

Staged at Newbury racecourse the Betfair-sponsored Denman Chase is a Grade Two race that is run in February each year.

First run in 2000, the Denman Chase is always a hotly-contested race that is run over a trip of 3 miles, and over the years has provided plenty of clues ahead of the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Four horses have won this race before going onto land the Cheltenham Gold Cup that same season – Kauto Star (2007), Denman (2008), Coneygree (2015) & Native River (2018).

In 2017 – Native River won the Denman Chase before running third in the Gold Cup, but in 2018 he went one better after landing both the Denman Chase and the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

The race was upgraded to Listed status in 2002 and then promoted further in 2003 to a Grade Two – which it remains at today.

The contest was originally sponsored by the Aon Group, but in 2012 leading betting exchange – Betfair – took over the sponsorship mantle, and in the process also renamed the race the ‘Denman Chase’ in honour of the 2008 winner. With William Hill taking over the sponsorship duties in 2025.

Since 2000 leading National Hunt trainer – Paul Nicholls – has won the race 10 times - including again in 2021 when his Secret Investor won for jockey Bryony Frost.

Here at GeeGeez, we look back at recent winners of the race and highlight the key stats ahead of the 2026 renewal – this year staged on Saturday 7th February.

2026 Irish Gold Cup Trends

/in /by

Staged at Leopardstown racecourse the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup is run over a distance of 3m 1/2f, with 17 fences to be tackled.

First run in 1987, the contest now another recognised trial for the Cheltenham Gold Cup run a month later with Jodami (1993), Imperial Call (1996), Sizing John (2017), Galopin Des Champs (2023 & 2024) the only horses to take both races in the same season.

Leading Irish trainer, Willie Mullins, is always feared as he’s sent out 13 of the last 25 runnings, including 4 of the last 6 renewals (Gordon Elliott the other two), while UK raiders have only taken 2 of the last 17 runnings with popular greys The Listener (2008) and 2012 Grand National hero, Neptune Collonges (2009).

Mullins is back for more in 2026 with his three-time winner Galopin Des Champs back to try and win the race for a fourth time.

If he can win again, he'll join Florid Pearl on four wins in the race.

However, the other main Irish yards of Gordon Elliott (2 wins), despite winning it in 2020 and 2022 and Henry de Bromhead (no wins) are yet to really stamp their mark on this prize the way Willie Mulins has.

Here at GeeGeez, we look back at recent winners and gives you all the key stats to take into the 2026 renewal – this year run on Saturday 31st January.

2026 Irish Champion Hurdle Trends

/in /by

The Irish Champion Hurdle is a Grade One race run over 2m and held at Leopardstown racecourse each year in early February.

In recent years, top hurdlers like Istabraq, Hardy Eustace, Brave Inca, and, more recently, Hurricane Fly, Honeysuckle and State Man have graced the roll of honour.

While it's a race that has always been a decent guide ahead of the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival with State Man in 2024 the most recent horse win win both races in the same season.

Top Irish trainer Willie Mullins has won 9 of the last 15 runnings, including 12 months ago again with State Man, who was winning the race for a third time.

It’s also been a big race for punters in recent years with 14 of the last 16 Irish Champion Hurdle favourites winning! The only non-favourites to win was Supasundae in 2018 - when he beat the jolly Faugheen - and last year when State Man won at 5/4 after 8/11 shot Lossiemouth fell.

Here at GeeGeez we are on hand with all the key stats ahead of the 2026 renewal – this year staged on Sunday 1st February.

2026 Cotswold Chase Trends

/in /by

Run at Cheltenham racecourse – normally in the third week of January at their Trials Meeting – the Cotswold Chase is run over a trip of 3m 1 ½ furlongs. The race is deemed as another Cheltenham Gold Cup trial, but maybe only in name as the last horse to land both races in the same season was Looks Like Trouble in 2000, while Master Oats also landed both races back in 1995.

In 2023 we saw the Lucinda Russell-trained Ahoy Senor win the race and in 2024 Willie Mullins won the race for the first time - when his Capodanno landed the prize.

While last year in 2025, the popular L'Homme Presse landed the spoils for trainer Venetia Williams.

We take a look back at past winners of the Cotswold Chase and give you all the stats that mater ahead of the 2026 renewal – this year run on Saturday 24th January.

Saturday TV Trends: 24th Jan 2026

/in /by

Another massive day of horse racing this Saturday with ‘Trials Day’ at Cheltenham – their last meeting before the Festival in March. Therefore, plenty more clues to be had, including top races like the Cleeve Hurdle and Cotswold Chase – a race only three favourites in the last 22 runnings have won.

2026 Thyestes Chase Trends

/in /by

Staged at Gowran Park racecourse, in Ireland, the Thyestes Chase is run over a distance of 3m, and is often contested by horses that go onto run in the Grand National later in the season.

That said, we’ve not seen any winners of this race go onto win the Aintree race that same season, but Hedgehunter (2004) and Numbersixvalverde (2005) did go onto glory in the Aintree marathon later in their careers.

In recent years, the Willie Mullins yard have won the Thyestes Chase SEVEN times in the last 13 runnings, and TEN times in all – he looks to have another strong hand this year too.

Gordon Elliott has won the prize twice since 2018, while 12 months ago we saw another Willie Mullins winner when Nick Rockett won the race and later go onto land the Grand National at Aintree.

Here at GEEGEEZ we look back at recent winners and highlights the key stats to take into the 2026 running – this year staged on Thursday 22nd January.

Saturday TV Trends: 17th Jan 2026

/in /by

After a few weather-hit weekends the propects look better this Saturday with the ITV Racing cameras heading to Ascot and Haydock for seven races.

At Ascot the Clarence House Chase (3:30) is the main event and all eyes will be on Jonbon looks to win the race for a second time but will face Il Etait Temps.

Then at Haydock, the Peter Marsh Chase (2.00) is their showcase race – a prize that trainer Venetia Williams has won four times in the past and could be running her two-time winner Royale Pagaille.

While we could also see last year's winner Mr Vango.

So, like all big race days, here at GEEGEEZ we've got all the big races covered from a trends and stats angle – just these to narrow down the runners and find the best profiles based on past winners.

2026 Clarence House Betting Trends

/in /by

Staged at Ascot racecourse the Clarence House Chase is a Grade One contest run over a distance of 2m1f.

The Clarence House Chase was first run back in 1989 when the popular Desert Orchid won the prize as a 10 year-old.

The race is also a good guide to that season’s Queen Mother Champion Chase with Sprinter Sacre landing both races in 2013, Sire de Grugy in 2014, while Dodging Bullets did the same double in 2015, plus most recently Altior in 2019.

The Willie Mullins-trained Un De Sceaux also made the race his own by landing three of the last nine renewals.

The 2023 running was won by Editeur Du Gite and the Gary Moore yard - their second win in the contest since 2014 and was also staged at Cheltenham.

While last year (2025) Jonbon made up for finishing second in 2024 and won the race - giving trainer Nicky Henderson a seventh success.

Trainers Nicky Henderson (7) and Paul Nicholls (5) have also won the race 12 times between them and– as mentioned – the Willie Mullins camp have taken three of the last 10 runnings.

Here at GeeGeez, we are on hand with all the key stats ahead of the 2026 renewal – this year due to be run on Saturday 17th January.
