2023 Peter Marsh Chase Trends for Haydock Race

Use our key Peter Marsh Trends to find the best winning profile of past winners. Apply these stats to the final Haydock runners to see which horses have the best chance of winning based on history.

77% Of the Last 17 Peter Marsh Chase Winners Rated 139+

With 14 of the last 19 Peter Marsh Chase winners having a rating of 139+, then this is a decent trend to apply to Saturday’s race. If the main players at the head of the weights run this could potentially only leave us with a maximum of five qualifiers – Sam Brown, Dusart, Bristol De Mai, Minella Drama and Empire Steel.

Winning Course Form Something To Look For

A massive 14 of the last 19 Peter Marsh Chase winners has previous winning form at Haydock Park, so this is certainly something to look out for. For those that don’t know how to check this, just look for the ‘C’ next to the horse’s name on the race card – this indicates its a past ‘course winner’.

At this stage, Sam Brown, Bristol De Mai, Minella Drama, Fontaine Collonges, Blaklion, Five Star Getaway and Small Present are the past course winners entered.

Make 11st 3lbs The Weight Cut-off Point

In the last 19 runnings we’ve had 16 winners carry 11st 3lbs or less to victory, so this is a good guide when it come to the weight trend. At the moment, Sam Brown, Dusart and Bristol De Mai are all set to carry 11st 7lbs or more, so would fall down here.

If you want to take the weight stat a bit further, then 12 of the last 19 Peter Marsh Chase winners carried 10st 12lbs or less.

A Run in The Last 36 Days Is Something to Note

Having had a run in the last 36 days is another plus – this trend has delivered with 84% of the last 19 winners. Minella Drama (20), Fontaine Collonges (25), French Paradoxe (30), Copper’s Cross (20), Five Star Getaway (25) and Small Present (26) get the thumbs up on this stat.

A Top Three Finish Last Time Out A Plus

Look for a horse in-form and coming into the race off the back of a ‘top three’ finish last time out. This Peter Marsh Chase trend has been in play for 11 of the last 19 winners. Minella Drama, Cooper’s Cross and Small Present are the only ones that fit the bill here.

8 and 9 Year-old Have The Best Recent Record

Looking at the best age of past Peter Marsh Chase winner, then 8 and 9 year-old have the best records – winning 10 of the last 19.

Dusart, Minella Drama, Empire Steel, Dr Kananga, Fontaine Collonges, French Paradoxe, Cooper’s Cross, Five Star Getaway and Small Present are the 8 and 9 year-olds in the race at this stage.

How Have the Peter Marsh Chase Favourites Fared?

In the last 19 runnings, we’ve had just four winning Peter Marsh Chase favourites land the spoils – but on a plus two of those have come in the last two years. We’ve also had 12 of the last 19 favourites finish unplaced.

This year’s likely Peter Marsh Chase favourites are Sam Brown, Dusart, Bristol De Mai, Minella Drama and French Paradoxe in what is a tight betting market.

Some Early Cheltenham Festival and Grand National Clues?

Being run over 3m+, then the Peter Marsh Chase can often be used as a stepping-stone for the Cheltenham Festival and Grand National, but we’ve not seen a winner go onto Aintree glory in recent years. Yes, 7 of the last 19 Peter Marsh Chase winners ran in the Grand National, but they were all unplaced.

Looking at the Cheltenham Festival, then like the National, we’ve seen 8 (of the last 19) Peter Marsh Chase winners head to Prestbury Park after taking this, but none have won a race at the best four days of jumps racing.

Trainers Sue Smith, and Venetia Williams Should Be Respected

Finally, the trainers to look out for in the Peter Marsh Chase are Sue Smith (5 total wins) and Venetia Williams (4 total wins), with the two ladies mentioned being responsible for the last four winners between them.

At this stage, Sue Smith has Small Present in the race and Venetia Williams has Fontaine Collonges entered.
