HHIII Unlikelytowin butnot totallywithout hope HIIII Canbegiven little or no chance
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

LONGEST TRAVELLER: DROPEMATTHESTATION trained by B Pauling, Naunton, 150 miles.
DROPEMATTHESTATION has shown enough in each of his 3 starts over hurdles to suggest a race of this nature is within his compass and in the hope a breathing operation since his previous start improves his finishing effort, he’s fancied to get off the mark. Hardly Surprising ideally needs further but is an obvious threat based on the strength of his form, with Cluain Chormaic and Cockney Cleopatra also in the mix.
