Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.
Seating/Viewing Racegoers are requested not to stand in the marked gangways on the Grandstand Steppings as this will compromise safety.

Failure to comply could result in your removal from the racecourse as per our terms and conditions of entry.
It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary.

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.
You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

A chance is taken on CAPTAIN BOUDET, who shaped like being involved for most of the way before a combination of an 11-week absence and an aggressive ride took their toll on yard debut here last month. Returned to 2 1/2m and now below his last winning mark, he can get the better of Evening Tess, who got off the mark over hurdles recently and is now sent chasing.

ALWAYS BUSY shaped as if still in good form before the climb for home at Hexham found him out last month. Promising to be suited by this return to a flatter track, Christian Willams’ 8-y-o gets the nod over Getaway Vic, who has found only one too good in maiden hurdles the last twice and now attentions are turned to the larger obstacles. The mercurial Edgewell rounds off the shortlist. 1-2-3: 1.ALWAYS BUSY (IRE) 2.GETAWAY VIC (IRE) 3.EDGEWELL (IRE) KEY colours

A few with chances but PLAY PRETEND rates just the pick at these weights and with the step back up in trip also a likely plus he gets the vote over Idaho Fire who has his first run for James Owen here and could take a step forward.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: BALLELA BLAZE trained by T Gallagher, Borehamwood, 140 miles. RACE SUMMARY
A case can be made for several of these but HOLD YOUR FORT arrives in good nick from chasing and reverts to hurdles here off a much lower mark so is taken to gain a first win in this sphere. Oneinthewell gave the impression a return to a left-handed track would suit when runner-up at Market Rasen last time and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Fane Court and Stiletto. 1-2-3: 1.HOLD YOUR FORT (IRE) 2.ONEINTHEWELL (IRE) 3.FANE COURT (IRE) KEY colours
