KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor 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 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
WHERE TO BET
There are a variety of places to bet at the course; Britbet has selling points throughout the racecourse - easily identified by the Britbet signs.
The bookmakers are located in front of the grandstand in the ‘Betting Ring’. The bookmakers display their odds for each race and compete to offer the best price to customers. These are fixed price bets and the amount of your winnings will be printed on your betting slip. Search around to get the best price for your selection.
Minimum Stakes
The Tote has a minimum bet of £2. The bookmakers vary but if they have a minimum it will be shown on the boards displaying their odds. If in doubt – just ask.

WEIGHTWATCHER: BELLA BISBEE won off a handicap mark of 71, her rating is now down 6lb to 65. LONGEST TRAVELLER: PARTY BEAR trained by K R Burke, Leyburn, 271 miles.
LADY DORA MAE just prevailed on her handicap bow at Kempton last month but she’s only gone up 1lb and, moreover, there should be more to come from this filly now pitched into a race where a strong end-to-end gallop is likely. Last year’s winner Lady Manzor and the consistent Party Bear both merit respect, while Cool Molly and So Sassy would’ve been even higher on the shortlist but for being drawn wide

Several to consider in this competitive handicap and a chance is taken on DIAMOND BAY, who won on his reappearance last year off a higher mark than this and his consistency is another strong selling point. Lightly-raced filly Selenic may well improve now upped in trip with headgear enlisted and she is feared most ahead of Dance Time, who was beaten just a neck when fourth to Shrimp Shady at Wolverhampton and is now 2lb better off

An open-looking sprint which can go the way of DARK ACE, who had a trio of recent winners behind him when scoring back from a break atWolverhampton a fortnight ago and Ado McGuinness’4-y-o can defy a 4lb higher mark. Stable-switcher Uncle Don needs things to drop right given his late-coming style but he can give the selection most to think about, with Silky Wilkie and Justcallmepete another couple who may well have a say, too.

CHAMPION JOCKEY
Billy Loughnane has turned the AllWeather Champion Jockey race into a procession, with the 20-year-old set to finish the season more than 30 clear of his closest challenger Luke Morris. He could yet challenge Morris’ all-time record of 102 wins, set in 2014/15.
Having denied Hector Crouch in a thrilling title battle last season, Loughnane sought to ride 200 winners for calendar year of 2025. In the end, he notched 222, the most of any jockey this century.
That tally turbo-charged Loughnane’s All-Weather Championships campaign and he established a 10-winner advantage in the lead up to Christmas. Notable victories include Hilitany in the Listed BetMGM Spring Cup and Ten Carat Harry at Newcastle’s AWC Trials Day.

Ryan Kavanagh is in pole position to take the All-Weather Champion Apprentice title, although Jack Callan could yet make a late push.
Callan spent part of the winter gaining further experience in Australia, which allowed Kavanagh to build up a lead through his association with trainer Ian Williams.

WINS: 68
TONY CARROLL retains the All-Weather Champion Trainer title following another prolific season that has seen the stable go from strength to strength.
Following his maiden title success, the Worcestershire handler enjoyed a landmark year in 2025 as he accrued more than £1 million in prize money for the first time and sent out a career-best 128 winners.
Carroll has carried that momentum through the winter season – topping the standings at Christmas and equalling last season’s tally of 57 winners in early March. Flagbearers for the yard include Towerlands and Royal Jet, who have won nine races between them this term.
