...well, it's alright...

...does Thyestes and bestes even rhyme?! Who knows...

What I do know, however, is which of today's runners are the 'best fit' based on previous trends for this year's renewal...

I posted that analysis to full NTF members last night and the race trends I used are available below...

If you want my full analysis of the race, as well as the NTF Stats Sheet for today's racing, then you can pick them both up as part of the current £10 NTF Week ticket...

Here's those Thyestes Race Trends...

12/12 between 8 & 27 previous career starts

12/12 no more than 18 chase starts

12/12 1-4 starts in current season

12/12 DSLR 18-56

12/12 NOT ridden by a claimer

11/12 7 or less handicap chase starts

11/12 previously run in a G1 race

I applied those trends to this year's field... drew up a trends shortlist... and then dug even deeper into the field, looking for the runners that looked good on the trends AND also had conditions in their favour...

These big field Irish Handicaps are tricky races to nail... and you can take a few swings at them and still be wide of the mark... but when you do get one right you are often rewarded handsomely...

To see the two I eventually landed on, as well as my in-depth notes on plenty of this year's Thyestes field, click on the image below...

I'll be spending plenty of today getting my Saturday analysis prepared, with Cheltenham Trials Day and the Saturday action from Doncaster being my main focus...

All of that will be available as part of the £10 Week ticket offer...
