Midlands Grand National Trends to Help You Find The Winners
Many standout Midlands Grand National trends below to help narrow down the 17 runners. Use these to help find the best profile of past winners as in these big handicaps, history can often repeat itself.
We also had the Welsh National over Christmas but this is the first of the big staying races as we build-up to the Aintree Grand National on April 15th.
Staged at Uttoxeter racecourse, the Midlands National is run over a trip of 4m2f, so it goes without saying stamina is a must-have.
Let’s look at some of the main Uttoxeter stats in more detail.

89% Of the Last 19 Midlands National Winners Aged 9 Or Younger
First up is the age trend as 17 of the last 19 Midlands National winners were aged 9 or younger. This will be a plus, for several, but of the 17 runners it still knocks a fair few out.
Including some fancied ones too – Iwilldoit, The Galloping Bear, The Two Amigos, D’Jango and Max Dynamo. While past winners Time To Get Up (2021) and Truckers Lodge (2020) also fall down here being 10 and 11 year-olds.
Make 10st-12lbs the Midlands National Weight Cut-Off Point
Being a handicap, the weight is always key to look at too and in recent years it’s been those lower down the card that have fared best. Since 1999, we’ve only seen two winners carry 11st or more to victory.
While 17 of the last 19 winners carried 10st 12lbs or less and we can take that stat a bit further with 68% of the last 19 winners actually having 10st 10lbs or less.

Having Run in The Last 8 Weeks Is Important
Next up is to look for a fairly recent run from your fancy. Having been on the track within the last 8 weeks seems to be the best trend – so around 56 days. It’s always wise to give this trend a big of slack though with race dates carrying slightly each season. With that in mind we are going to add on another 7 days here.
The horses that have run 64 day or longer ago are Secret Reprieve, The Two Amigos & Busypark.
68% Of The Last 19 Winners Finished In The Top 3 Last Time Out
We’ve listed more trends below, but the final of our featured stats for the Midlands National is to have finished in the top three last time out. To be honest, when looking at the 17 runners, quite a few are coming here in good form – with the top 8 in the betting all running third or better last time.
We can put a line through Captain Kangaroo, Time To Get Up, Truckers Lodge, Floueur, Notachance and D’Jango though.
