How to use the bias

  • Pace: identify where the likely early leaders are drawn and which runners can secure a good position.
  • Going: consider whether the inside or outside is riding faster on the day.
  • Field size: draw effects are often more meaningful when runners are crowded into larger fields.
  • Recent evidence: rail movements, watering and weather can alter the effective bias.

Conclusion

Surprisingly there doesn't appear to be a bias over a mile a Chester.
