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

Like all of the distances on the straight at Newcastle their doesn't appear to be much of a draw bias, with high very slightly favoured.
