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

No let-up for the top-class racing action over the festive period with another huge day of National Hunt action on Wednesday 27th December.

The ITV cameras head to Kempton for three races for the second and final day of their Winter Festival, while they are also at Chepstow to take in the Welsh National – Did you know 14 of the last 16 Welsh National winners were aged 9 or younger, and 11 of the last 16 winners carried 10-8 or less in weight?

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!
