NTF Badly Drawn Horse Notes: 24th – 30th May
Short and sweet here on the blog from me today… I’m deep in Epsom analysis for the weekend…
If you want the NTF analysis for the two day meeting then you can hook up to the full service for the next few days…
And if you’ve not yet picked up my FREE ‘Epsom Angles‘ Guide you can get that…
Now for this week’s FREE Badly Drawn Horse… taken from Saturday’s Chester action…
BADLY DRAWN HORSE
30th May – Chester
3:30 – Class 2 Handicap over 7f (11 runners)
BOBBY BENNU (R Varian)
Finished 4th | Drawn in stall 12 (Q4 of draw – widest stall of all)
Q4 in Chester 7f Hcps of 9-13 runners are generally at a disadvantage (5% S/R – 24% below exp) whilst those drawn in Q1 hold an early advantage from their low draw (13% S/R)… stalls 1, 2 & 3 filled 3 of the first 5 places in this…
Roger Varian’s 5yo, unsurprisingly, was doing all his best work late in the day here… sitting in rear in the early part of the contest before staying on inside the final furlong without ever looking like he was going to lay down a challenge for the win…
Probably wasn’t only the draw that was against him here, however, as this was also his seasonal debut, and he now holds form off breaks of >30-days of… 0/8, 4p… compared to form off breaks of 30-days or less of… 3/6…
He’s well handicapped on his best form at present… running here off OR 93, 1lb below his highest winning mark of OR 94… and he’s worth looking out for under his PC of…
PC = OR 94 or less | DSLR 30 or less = 111 (3/3 – all 3 career wins)

Hello .
I’ve tried twice (with two different email addresses) to check out the World Cup ante post guide . I get confirmation on screen that I am on the list but no email turns up . It isn’t in any junk or spam folders either. Is there some issue ? Thanks for any reply .
Hi Craig
I’ve passed your details on to the guys at EdgeScout… so they’ll either contact you or I’ll get the best contact email for you to deal with technical issues and pass that on to you 👍
