A handful of interesting extra stats in addition to the above.
Only Lord Windermere (2014) was officially rated below 164.
Only one winner Don Cossack (2016) had run more than 12 times over fences.
Eighteen last time out beaten favourites ran in the Gold Cup, none won and just 4 placed.
Only Native River (2018) has won in headgear.
Cheers
