We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to our valued sponsors, LSL Racing Horse Sales, Fairplay Exchange and Escape Records/Together Again Festival, for their generous support. Their continued backing is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to seeing their sponsored races throughout the evening.

Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:
HHHHH Selected to win the race
HHHHI Good chance of being placed.
HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HIIII Can be given little or no chance.
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED
The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions.
A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in nonhandicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

This looks a potential match between DR STRANGELOVE and Supreme King, with preference for the former having appreciated the step back up to 7f when going down by a nose at Goodwood last month.There was a glimmer of promise in Morte Point’s latest Newbury effort and he could be the one to capitalise should either of the main protagonists fail to fire.

MOSCOW POWER started this season in encouraging fashion at this trip, winning a maiden before a third at Ascot which is working out really well His latest flop at 7f is easy enough to excuse and he’s well worth another chance back at 6f. Maid In Devon holds strong claims if as effective on the likely firmer ground, while Sanaam could also figure.
