This Saturday’s big Aintree card was lost last season to the weather but things are looking okay for this year. Which is great news as there are plenty of Becher Chase trends and stats to get stuck into when trying to unravel this popular race, which is staged over the unique Grand National fences.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

These stats are also pointing heavily towards TWO horses that has run well over these National obstacles in the past.<\/p>\n

That will also be in with a chance of winning the \u00a3500k Becher Chase\/Grand National bonus<\/a> – if they win both races this season.<\/p>\n

Course Lover Gaboriot Ticks Many Becher Chase Trends and Stats\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Dan Skelton yard can seemingly do little wrong these days – especially on Saturday’s having won the Betfair Chase and Coral Gold Cup recently.<\/p>\n

They are well clear in the 2025\/26 British Trainers’ Championship<\/a> and also won the Becher Chase in 2022 with Ashtown Lad.<\/p>\n

Therefore, their Galia Des Liteaux has to be on the shortlist.<\/p>\n

The David Pipe and Venetia Williams camps also have good recent records in this race, with three wins between them since 2016.<\/p>\n

Pipe runs his 2024 Becher Chase winner King Turgeon, while Williams has Tanganyika.<\/p>\n

However, the Becher Chase trends are pointing towards a horse that has plenty of experience over these National fences.<\/p>\n

Step forward GABORIOT.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

SIX Becher Chase Stats In Gaboriot’s Corner \ud83d\udcc8<\/strong><\/h2>\n

AGE CONCERN: 20\/22 Aged Eight Or Older\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

With 20 of the last 22 Becher Chase winners aged eight+ (91%), this is the first tick for the nine year-old Gaboriot.<\/p>\n

Meaning we can rule out those aged seven or younger – with the only one winner aged seven since 2005 (Vieux Lion Rouge, 2020).<\/p>\n

Nine year-olds also have the best recent record in the race – winning seven of the last 16 renewals (44%) of this ITV Racing<\/a> contest.<\/p>\n

TRIP ADVISOR: 18\/22 (82%) – Won Over 3m+\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The next of our Becher Chase trends in Gaboriot’s favour is winning form over three+ miles.<\/p>\n

Okay, most will fit the bill here, but this Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero runner won’t have any issues staying the Becher Chase 3m 2f trip.<\/p>\n

He’s won over 3m 1 1\/2f at Cartmel in the past and even over 4m 1\/2f at Cheltenham.<\/p>\n

With the ground also likely to be ‘soft’ on Saturday, this is again no problem.<\/p>\n

Gaboriot’s last three wins all came on ‘soft’ ground.<\/p>\n

FRESH AS A DAISY: 18\/22 (82%) – Had Just One Start That Season\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We can further rule out of some of the Becher Chase runners with this stat that tells us 82% of the last 22 winners had only one start that season.<\/p>\n

Gaboriot gets a thumbs up here here too – having run last month when runner-up over these fences in the Grand Sefton (watch below).<\/p>\n

But it would be a negative for likely favourite Mr Vango, who hasn’t been out for 266 days.<\/p>\n
