Welcome to the BetBright STATZONE, where we give you the stats and you make the decisions!

Plenty more Cheltenham Festival clues on offer this Saturday as the ITV cameras head to both Newbury and Warwick to take in seven races across the two venues.

At Newbury the Denman Chase, Betfair Hurdle and Betfair Exchange Chase are the standout contests – don't forget, last season Native River took the Denman Chase before winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Then up at Warwick we've three more LIVE ITV races, including the Grade Two Kingmaker Novices' Chase one of the features.

So, as always, we’ve got it all covered here on STATZONE with all the key trends, plus our verdict, on each of the LIVE ITV races – we’re confident these trends will point you in the direction of a few winners, or at least help narrow down some of the field to highlight the horses that fit the best profile of past winners – So, let’s get cracking!
