Here is what AI says when I fed in the last 10 year trends from Horseracebase
Chatgpt
Two horses stand out purely on trends before Timeform interpretation:
Jack Hyde
Age right
Ideal weight zone
Placed last run
Stamina edge
Good time gap
Top Jimmy
Age right
Improving profile
Strong stamina
Placed last run

🏆 Verdict — Best Trends Matches:
⭐ JACK HYDE is the standout trends horse — age 8 ✅, finished 2nd last time ✅, last ran 23 days ago ✅, OR 124 in range ✅, weight fine ✅. Hits almost every box at 10/1.
⭐ TOP JIMMY is the second-best fit — age 6 is neutral but Twiston-Davies trainer is a big positive, 2nd last time is a strong positive, OR 128 and weight 11-3 both good. Slightly outside the days-since-run window but not badly. 9/1.
⭐ WRECKLESS ERIC has the timing right (28 days), OR 124 fits, was 2nd in this race last year, and is now in cheekpieces which often triggers improvement. 9/1.
⚠️ MONDO MAN — market leader but ran too recently, won last time (negative flag), and Moore has never won this race. The trends don’t support him despite his talent.

My plan was to run a fun project for Cheltenham using trends and Timeform data, chatgpt has proven umnanageable after a few days of me “training” it (it is now offering me its tips with language like: “Now, would you like me to tell you the secret type of horse buried away in this race?”) So I will stick with trends analysis only.
