Saturday Trends (23rd March 2019)

With the Cheltenham Festival now behind us and the Aintree Grand National meeting less than two weeks away, unfortunately there is always a bit of a lull in the quality of racing around this time of the year.

Having said that, we’ve still three Saturday jumping cards to enjoy from Newbury, Kelso and Bangor. The ITV cameras are taking in seven races across the Newbury and Kelso fixtures, while there are also two all weather meetings from Lingfield and Kempton.

As always, to help you through the cards we’ve picked some quickfire standout stats and trends that are certainly worth paying attention too.

Plus, you can get more help finding the winner for all this Saturday’s races on our Racing Tips page.
