- Hard Nut (50/1)
- Nodsasgoodasawink (12/1)
Amanda Perratt has hit a couple of decent-priced winners under these conditions, which has helped her to an LSP of over +100 for the last five seasons.
He has been consistent too; she has shown a profit in each of those five seasons, some bigger than others, but all in profit.

- Translink (20/1)
- Translink (16/1)
Neil Mulholland returned a profit in each of 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023 under these conditions. Last year was the year that he didn't; however, it was only a small loss.
| Year | Runners | Winners | Strike Rate | LSP |

Here are the top three winners from Karl Burke from the past five years when using this criteria:
- Camila Vargas (66/1)
- Our Girl Sheila (18/1)
- Media Shooter (14/1)
Karl Burke seems to enjoy Scotland at this time of the year, especially the Class 4 races there.
He did show a loss in 2021, but the other four years saw him return a profit. He won't have many runners but seems to do enough to return a profit.
| Year | Runners | Winners | Strike Rate | LSP |

| 2020 | 4 | 2 | 50% | +18.25 |
| 2021 | 3 | 1 | 33% | -1.20 |

- Dont Tell Claire (18/1)
- Andaleep (9/1)
Daniel Kubler was on a good run under these conditions with profits in 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023.
That came to an end in 2024, but the loss was only -2.50 from his 18 runners and didn't wipe out much of the previous four seasons' profits.
| Year | Runners | Winners | Strike Rate | LSP |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2021 | 13 | 3 | 23% | +7.25 |
