We've gone through the numbers to see if there are any notable trends ahead of Monday's big meeting.
It looks like racing fans will be in for another festive feast this boxing day as some of the stars of NH racing lock horns at Kempton. With three competitive looking Grade 1's to enjoy as part of a six race card, punters have plenty of high quality racing to look forward to.
But what can previous years tell us about Monday? We've looked back on all the results since 2006 to see what trends if any are there and also looked at what the numbers tell us about the jockeys and trainers involved.
Since 2012 there have been 25 winning favourites from 54 races with 36 placed in total.
Of those favourites, 11 have been odds-on with 8 of them winning.
During this period, the biggest priced winner was 25/1.
38 of the 54 winners had an SP of 4/1 or shorter.
The most successful trainer in this period is Nicky Henderson with 15 winners. Paul Nicholls is next with 9 whilst Alan King has had just one.

Confidence is always important for a jockey and punters and there's nothing better for that than winners. So here's who has been in red-hot form so far in December and who is blowing cold.

Long Term
But what's that they say? 'Form is temporary, class is permanent.' We've tested that theory and had a look at some of the top jockey's record at the course over the last five years. And what about the trainers? Well the stats show there certainly one man to follow at Kempton.
