2025 Fighting Fifth Hurdle Trends

/in /by

Sponsored by leading bookmaker BetMGM the Grade 1 Fighting Fifth hurdle is staged at Newcastle racecourse.

Having first been run in 1969 the contest is often seen as an early-season trial for the Champion Hurdle, with the Nicky Henderson-trained Punjabi (2008) and Buveur D'Air (2018) the last horses to win both races in the same season.

The 2017 and 2018 Champion Hurdle winner – Buveur d’Air – landed this race in 2017 before going onto Cheltenham glory again in March 2018, while he also took the prize in 2018 and was second in 2019.

In 2022 we saw the exciting Constitution Hill romp to victory by 12 lengths - beating the two-time past winner Epatante, before going onto win the Champion Hurdle later that season.

While last season in 2024 the Nicky Henderson-trained Sir Gino landed the spoils with ease.

Here at GEEGEEZ, we are on hand as we look back at past winners and highlight the key trends to look out for ahead of the 2025 renewal – this year run on Saturday 29th November.

2025 Betfair Chase Trends

/in /by

Staged at Haydock Park racecourse the Betfair Chase (Registered as the Lancashire Chase) is a Grade One race and is run over a slightly longer trip (3m1f). The contest is a fairly new one, being first run in 2005 and takes place in November each season.

Trainer Paul Nicholls has made the race his own, winning the decent prize 6 times in the last 17 years, including four times with Kauto Star, while the popular grey Bristol De Mai has landed the pot three times in the last 8 years and giving his trainer – Nigel Twiston-Davies – his fourth success in the contest. While the Tizzard yard is another to have on your radar - they’ve won four of the last 12.

In 2022 we saw the Dan Skelton-trained Protektorat win the race in easy fashion to give the Dan Skelton yard their first win in the race and for the last two years the Venetia Williams-trianed Royale Pagaille has won for popular owner Rich Ricci.

Here at Geegeez, we are on hand with all the key stats ahead of the 2025 renewal - this year run on Saturday 22nd November.

2025 Greatwood Hurdle Trends

/in /by

The Greatwood Hurdle is stage each year in November at the Cheltenham Open Meeting and is being sponsored by leading bookmaker Unibet.

Run over 2m ½ f on the Old Course the contest gives National Hunt racing fans some early season pointers ahead of the Champion Hurdle, run at Cheltenham at the Festival in March – Rooster Booster (2002) was the last horse to win this race and go onto land that same season’s Champion Hurdle.

Since 1988 the race has been won four times by the Pipe stable, three times by Philip Hobbs and three times, including in 2015, by ex-champion trainer Paul Nicholls.

In 2023 we saw the Nicky Henderson-trained Iberico Lord win the race for top owner JP McManus.

While last year in 2024, the James Owen-trained Burdett Road win for jockey Harry Cobden.

Here at GeeGeez, we look back at recent winners and gives you the key trends to look out for ahead of the 2025 renewal - this year run on Sunday 16th November.

November Handicap Trends 2025

/in /by

Previously staged at Doncaster racecourse, the November Handicap has now switched to run on the AW at Newcastle. Is still run over a distance of 1m4f though, and, as the race title suggests, is run every November. The event is always run on the last day of Britain’s flat turf racing season – this year run on Saturday 8th November 2025.

Being first run in 1876 the contest was staged in the early days at Manchester and Pontefract racecourses - it was then transferred to Doncaster in 1964 and now Newcastle in 2023.

The race is always a very competitive betting heat, and one the bookmakers have loved in recent years with the favourites having a very poor recent record.

In terms of stables to note - Trainer John Gosden has been the man to follow – he’s landed the prize six times since 1991 and most recently in 2018.

Looking at the recent stats horses drawn in stall 9 or higher have a great recent record but be wary of the market leaders – we’ve only had two winning favourites since 1995!

Here at GeeGeez, we take a look at recent winners of the November Handicap, plus highlights some key trends and stats based to apply to the 2025 running - Sat 8th November.

Note: The November Handicap was staged at Newcastle in 2023
