Not the kind of race I bet in but here's an interesting titbit, since 2000, 86 horses have come to Ripon St Wilfrid Flat Handicap after running in it the previous year, of those only 4 (4.7%) have won and 22 (25.6%) have won or placed, all showing an LSP loss. Among those are 8 who won the previous year and only 1 (12.5%) has won.
This is the list of runners today who ran last year and their finishing position
Almarada Prince (7), Aramram (10), Dare To Hope (1), Emperor Spirit (9), Kitai (14), Magical Spirit (15), Manila Scouse(11), Monks Dream (16), Monsieur Kodi (13), Mr Wagyu (17), Radio Goo Goo(8), Ramazan (2), Rock Opera(12), Secret Guest(3), Summerghand (4), The Turpinator (6), Wobwobwob (5)
Obviously trends and stats can always be broken, it's just another factor to consider.
