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.

WELCOME
Good afternoon and welcome to the Dragonbet Welsh Champion Hurdle Race Day at Ffos Las Racecourse. What a way to start the Jumps season! Our biggest race of the year, The DragonBet Welsh Champion Hurdle will take centre stage today as the climax of three exciting days of jump racing across Wales. The £50,000 race – which forms part of our Gentlemen’s Day will celebrate its 102nd running, the culmination of the return of the jump season after two days of meetings at Chepstow. Last year, the race was won by the Irish-owned and trained Effernock Fizz, but there will be a chance for Wales to reclaim the title this year, with our Welsh trainers keen to deny the Irish a repeat. The other big race today is the Norton’s Coin Trophy Handicap Chase which is also sponsored by DragonBet. For those keen to see if England can overcome Fiji on Sunday afternoon – or maybe the other way around – then some of the TV screens in the bars and grandstand will be showing the match from 4pm. I have to say a big thank you to today’s sponsors Dragon Bet, who are great supporters of our racecourse and are certainly leading the way for on course and online bookmakers in Wales. As it is also Gentleman’s Day today, we have some fantastic attractions for you. Music will be provided by the outstanding Ragsy from the Voice and local talent Brook Fox before the racing. After the final race, a brilliant Blues Brothers tribute act “Brothers Of Blues” will be performing in Blinkers Bar. Finally, the Superb Phil Harmonics from Llanelli will be performing in Bridles restaurant and singing the National Anthem just before the big race. There will also be a best dressed gentleman competition for the smartest effort when suited and booted so watch out for our best dressed spotters and give them a big smile. Throughout the day you can enjoy a fun casino in Blinkers Bar, ride a mechanical rodeo horse, and get the opportunity to muscle up and test yourself with a strength machine to try to win tickets to future race days. There will also be plus a great selection of classic sports cars and steam engines to look at. I hope you enjoy the meeting, and remember, “You really can’t beat a great day at the races!” Kevin Hire General Manager

Evacuation Procedures
If an incident occurs which is beyond our control, it is important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency. As part of our Safety management, we have employed professionally trained and experienced stewards and you will see them at various points throughout the racecourse. In the event of a situation, which requires partial or full evacuation of the stands or racecourse, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your immediate belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and calmly with the guidance of the stewards. The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area. Should it be necessary to evacuate the course itself, there will be two main options; firstly to return to your vehicles if safe to do so and leave via the main entrance. Secondly, should it not be safe to return to your vehicles, you will be requested to leave via emergency evacuation gates, onto the racecourse itself, where you will receive further instructions.
It may give you peace of mind if you pre plan and agree a meeting place, just in case you become separated from your party. The above is precautionary only and we trust that the procedures will never be required. However, in the event of an emergency, remember; • Take your belongings with you. • Under the directions of the stewards, proceed quickly and calmly to the safe area.

LLANDINABO LAD did reasonably well over fences last season without winning and his experience in this sphere should count for plenty up against 5 chasing newcomers. Matata confirmed himself useful when sixth in a Grade 1 at Aintree and this Irish point winner looks the obvious threat despite top weight. Low-mileage 8-y-o Manorbank is also of interest.

History of the Welsh
Effernock Fizz
This year marks the 102nd anniversary of the first Welsh Champion Hurdle. In 1921 it was a three mile handicap run at the Easter meeting of Cardiff’s racecourse in the northern suburb of Ely, with a prize of £500. The following year “some first class horses” turned out, according to the Western Mail, though its racing coverage was almost secondary to that of its ‘Woman Correspondent’, who filled a whole column describing what the elite ladies of South Wales society were wearing. More than two columns were necessary in 1924 to report the names of prominent racegoers and the fashions, by which time to Mail had upgraded to a ‘Lady Correspondent’. The description of the actual racing was much shorter. Zarane, “probably the best hurdler in the country at the moment,” had to carry 12 stone 12 pounds in the big race, but he could not concede the weight to Kiwi, who was winning for the fourth time in a row. Unfortunately, the economic depression and competition from the new Chepstow track in the second half of the 1920s led to the Welsh Champion Hurdle suffering a swift decline. Prize money dropped to £400 in its third year, and then £250 in 1928, which was not enough to justify the word “champion” in its title; it was renamed “the Welsh Hurdle Race”. By this time it was run over two and a quarter miles. Before long it was worth only £100 and then just £70 before disappearing from the calendar in 1935. The first post-war Welsh Grand National was run at Newport’s Caerleon course on Easter Monday 1948.
Champion Hurdle The Welsh Champion Hurdle was revived seven weeks later, at its two-day Whitsun meeting, with a handsome £750 of prize money. Sadly, it was the briefest of comebacks, as that was the last ever Newport fixture. The Welsh National moved the following year to Chepstow, where the premier contest over the sticks was worth only £400 and called the Welsh Grand Annual Handicap Hurdle. John Hughes was a much-admired clerk of the course who in the late 1960s was determined to put Chepstow on the map. He succeeded in bringing in sponsors, thereby attracting regular TV coverage of its National Hunt meetings on Saturdays. One of his ploys was the resurrection of the Welsh Champion Hurdle. He realised there were few suitable races for top class hurdlers after they had run at the Cheltenham Festival. The triple Champion Hurdler Persian War won the inaugural contest in 1969, and a series of other great horses took the race in the next ten years – Bula, Comedy Of Errors (twice), Lanzarote, Night Nurse (twice), Monksfield and Sea Pigeon. The standard slipped a little in the 1980s and by the 1990s it was generally a race for above average handicappers, though mention must be made of the Martin Pipe-trained Potentate. His nine course victories included three in this race from 1997-99. After the 2002 running the fixture list was revised, Chepstow lost its Easter meeting and the Welsh Champion Hurdle disappeared from the programme again. The creation of the new course at Ffos Las sparked the fourth revival of the race in 2011. After some experimentation regarding its conditions, distance, and time of year it has settled in its current mid-October slot as a two mile handicap with a restricted weight range. Top class winners include Oscar Whisky, The New One and the Welsh-trained Silver Streak. The 2020 winner Sceau Royal has 16 career victories to his name. Last year’s winner Effernock Fizz (pictured) has entered again this year and is highly fancied by the pundits, could it possibly win again?

Boasting a progressive profile over hurdles following a lengthy absence last term, NEMEAN LION marked himself down as one to keep on the right side of when landing a Kelso Grade 2 in good style on his final start in March and he could well be up to making a winning return/handicap debut from what looks an appealing mark. Gin Coco has gone well fresh previously and he’s feared, with Strong Leader and Irish- raider Fiveonefive also fancied to be on the premises. 1-2-3: 1.NEMEAN LION (GER) 2.GIN COCO (FR) 3.STRONG LEADER KEY colours
