There's nothing quite like picking the winner from a big field handicap like the Royal Hunt Cup or the Wokingham. You will usually be rewarded with a fat double-figure price, and it'll be steak and champagne for dinner!
But where on earth do you start when it comes to solving the puzzle of a big field of runners? Michael Wilding at Race Advisor posted a really useful article recently, which goes some way to pointing us all in the right direction.
I like to use several techniques when it comes to the big races, and my favourite is using trends analysis. Michael uses several factors, including the betting market, acting on the going, and figures showing running to form.
Once you have used this technique on a few races, you will find that it takes just a few minutes to narrow down a big field to 7 or less potential runners.
How do you go about making a shortlist of runners? Share your thoughts below.
