Key influenceFirst bend position
What the pattern suggests
Lower-numbered stalls show a small historical advantage, although the effect is weaker than might be expected given the short run from the starting chute into the left-handed bend.
How to read the chart
Each mark represents a winning stall number plotted against the total number of runners. This shows whether winners repeatedly cluster towards the low, middle or high side of the draw.

How to use the bias
- Pace: identify where the likely early leaders are drawn and which runners can secure a good position.
- Field size: give greater weight to the draw only where the historical pattern is strongest.
- Current conditions: recent track preparation and riding tactics can alter how much the historical bias matters.
Conclusion
There appears to be a slight advantage to being drawn low over seven furlongs at Wolverhampton. It is not an overwhelming bias, so the draw should still be considered alongside pace and the likelihood of securing a good position before the bend.
