What the pattern suggests
There doesn't appear to be any real bias here. High stalls have produced slightly more winners, but this is probably down to the small sample size more than anything else.
How to read the chart
Each mark represents a winning stall number plotted against the total number of runners. This reveals whether winners repeatedly cluster towards the low, middle or high side.
Good or fasterGood to soft or softer
The source chart covers horses aged three and older in handicaps from 2024–2025.
Stall-numbering note: Stalls at Catterick are always positioned on the inside of the track.

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
There doesn't appear to be any bias here, with high producing slightly more winners, but I think that this is down to the small sample size more than anything else.
