Each Way

There have been a number of horses who have filled the places in this race in recent seasons who have gone off at decent prices. If you had backed Facteur Cheval on each-way terms at 14/1 last year, you would have returned more than two points in profit.

Draw Biases

No horse has emerged from the inside five stalls to win the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes since 2015. A higher draw has been beneficial in recent renewals, but it is worth seeing if any races earlier in the day suggest an alternative draw would be better.
