HHIII Unlikelytowin butnot totallywithout hope HIIII Canbegiven 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 non-handicaps 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.

You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet

WEIGHTWATCHER: BREAD AND BUTTER won off a handicap mark of 108, his rating is now down 22lb to 86. LONGEST TRAVELLER: HILLSIN trained by A Jones, Timberscombe, 158 miles.

If Chris Gordon’s WASHINGTON SINGER is in the same form as when successful at Plumpton last month he can likely cope with a 3lb rise Jamaicaine didn’t seem to enjoy herself over fences last time but had won her 3 hurdle starts prior to that and is feared most. A good Fontwell record earns Bradman a place on the shortlist
