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.

The ITV cameras are also heading to Doncaster to take in the best of their action, including the ultra-competitive Great Yorkshire Handicap Chase and the River Don Novices' Hurdle.

As always, here at GeeGeez, we've got it all covered with all the key trends – use these stats to help find the best past winning profiles to help whittle down the runners and hopefully pin-point a few winners.

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.

2026 Peter Marsh Chase Trends

/in /by

The Peter Marsh Chase is a Grade Two race run over 3m that is staged at Haydock Park racecourse.

First run in 1981 the contest is sometimes billed as another Grand National trial, but we’ve yet to see a winner of this race land the Aintree marathon in the same season, although the 1995 winner, Earth Summit, did go onto win the Grand National three years later.

The Venetia Williams-trained Royale Pagaille has won two of the last three (2021 and 2022), as the 2023 and 2024 renewals have been called off due to the weather.

With last year's winner (2025) the popular and consistent staying chaser Mr Vango.

Here at GEEGEEZ, we take a look back at recent winners and gives you the main stats to look out for ahead of the 2026 renewal – this year run on Saturday January 17th.

2026 Lanzarote Hurdle Trends

/in /by

Named after the leading hurdler of the 70’s, Lanzarote, who won the 1974 Champion Hurdle - the Coral Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle is staged at Kempton Park racecourse each January.

Run over 2m5f, with 10 hurdles to tackle, the race is always a hotly-contested affair and in the past has been won three times by trainer Gary Moore, while the Nick Williams, Paul Nicholls and Nicky Henderson yards are others to have won the race in recent years.

Including in 2020 when we saw the Nicky Henderson-trained Burrows Edge land the prize – the yard’s third win in the race since 2013, while the Dan Skelton team have won the last two runnings - in 2023 with West Balboa won the race at 12/1 and in 2024 with Jay Jay Reilly at 33/1.

2025 Challow Hurdle Trends

The Challow Novices’ Hurdle is a Grade One event that is run over a trip of 2m4f at Newbury racecourse.

Sponsored by Coral, the contest has been won by some promising sorts over the years, including Wichita Lineman, Diamond Harry, Reve De Sivola, Fingal Bay, Taquin du Seuil, while in more recent years the 2022 King George Chase winner Bravemansgame (2020) & Stage Star (2021) have won the race.

While in 2022 we saw the exciting Paul Nicholls-trained Hermes Allen romp to victory and Captain Teague take to pot in 2023 - meaning Paul Nicholl has won four of the last six runnings. He tries to add to that with the exciting No Drama This End, who is flying the Ditcheat flag this year.

2025 Savills Chase Trends

/in /by

Staged at Leopardstown racecourse, Ireland, the Grade One Savills Chase (formerly the Lexus Chase) is run over a distance of 3m and is often seen as a decent guide ahead of the Cheltenham Gold Cup, run later that season.

Some great names in recent years to land both races are Denman (2007/08) and Best Mate (2003/04), while considering the contest is staged in Ireland, we’ve actually seen eight UK-based horses come over and win the prize in the last 24 years.

While for the last two seasons (2023 and 2024) we've seen the Willie Mullins-trained Galopin Des Champs romp away with the prize.

Boxing Day TV Trends: Friday 26th Dec (Kempton, Aintree & Wetherby)

/in /by

A huge day on Boxing Day (Friday, Dec 26th 2025), but the festive highlight, as racing resumes after a three-day break, is the King George VI Meeting at Kempton Park.

The King George VI Chase is the feature race of the day as punters will look to get their Christmas expenses paid for – a race in recent years we’ve seen horse racing greats like Kauto Star, Long Run, Best Mate, Kicking King, One Man and, more recently, Thistlecrack, Might Bite, landing the prize.

Plus, at Wetherby the ITV cameras are also heading there to take in the Grade 3 Rowland Meyrick Chase, and at Aintree the Formby Novices Hurdle - which has produced three Supreme Novices' Hurdle winners since 2006.

Here at GeeGeez, we take a look at each race on the Kempton card and highlight the main trends, plus the Rowland Meyrick Chase (Wetherby) and Formby Novices' Hurdle – hopefully this will help you narrow down the fields and point you in the direction of a few festive winners.
