Race Conditions
The Pertemps Final (Handicap Hurdle) is a Class A listed hurdle run over three miles. It is open to horses aged five years old and upwards who have qualified for the final.
Recent Winners
The Pertemps Final is another major betting heat and there are always rumours flying around that certain horses have been laid out specifically for the race. One thing that is certain, though, is that there will be a monster gamble on the morning of the race, often on an Irish runner. However, it's worth noting that two of the last four winners were priced at 50/1.
In order to participate in the race, all runners have to have competed in one of the qualifying races that are run throughout the year in Britain and Ireland. Those races do provide some form clues, but it is often not the winners that should be focused on, but those horses who might improve for running on different ground or at a different track, or who are simply better handicapped or in better form than they were when the qualifiers were run.
Key Trends
16 of the last 24 winners were aged 6 or 7.
Only 1 winning 5 year-old in the 34-year history of the race.
Only 2 favorites have won in the last 13 runnings. - cheltenhamreview.net
