OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS

Sponsor Form Comment

Timeform Rating

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.

CITY SELECTIONS

PIERCHIC failed to threaten the winner when third at Wolverhampton on debut. Saying that, the daughter of Palace Pier was doing her best work in the closing stages and has to be of interest here with that experience under her belt. Neat And Tidy debuted in a tougher contest at Newbury in September and could feature at this level having subsequently switched yards. Accommodation, So Regal and Let Her Go are newcomers to note.

CITY SELECTIONS

SNOW LIGHT left her moderate debut effort behind when beaten only a head at Kempton last month. Charlie Appleby’s filly finished clear of the rest in second and looks set to launch another bold bid with further improvement on the cards. Pretty Ambitious drops back in trip with a shout after going close over a mile here, while the 150,000gns purchase Buckland Belle is a newcomer worthy of consideration.

SMARTER

SNOW LIGHT left her debut form well behind following a 4-month break when finishing runner-up at Kempton 4 weeks ago and, appealing as the type to do better still for her leading yard, she very much appeals as the one to beat. Pretty Ambitious and Havana Flower rate 2 of the likely dangers, with newcomer Buckland Belle one to monitor closely in the market for positive vibes.

CITY SELECTIONS

Lapidarist returns to this lower grade with a chance of making the frame. Mali Star has shown steady progress and could have say in proceedings, but DIAMOND ALI might prove the one to side with. He posted his best effort so far when beaten less than a length upped to 7f at Leicester and, with this extra yardage offering the promise of further improvement, the son of A’Ali may well open his account.

CITY SELECTIONS

The unexposed Gemmari made a fairly pleasing return at Kempton last month and this longer trip has threatened to suit for a while now Richard Hannon’s gelding merits the utmost respect, especially in these calmer waters, although the vote goes to AN BRADAN FEASA. The son of Camelot won twice over hurdles before running with credit upon returning to the level, and he too looks certain to benefit from a step up in distance. Saratoga Gold is also noted.

DECLARED RUNNERS 6 2024: FANTASY MASTER 6 9 4 David Egan 7-1 (Darryll Holland) 9 ran Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 2, 4, 6.

Stewards Note:

QUEENSLAND BOY: Following its run on 20/11/2025 it was reported that the horse hung right-handed.

Probable S.P’s: 9-4 Gemmari (GB), 4-1 An Bradan Feasa (IRE), Saratoga Gold (GB), 15-2 Queensland Boy (IRE), 17-2 Red Flyer (IRE), 11-1 D Day Arvalenreeva (IRE)

AN BRADAN FEASA scored twice over hurdles in the autumn before recording a very good fourth at Southwell so edges the vote now stepping back up in distance. Gemmari could prove the chief danger if, as expected, building on his recent Kempton fifth after an absence, while Saratoga Gold also needs considering in his bid to end a lengthy losing sequence.

CITY SELECTIONS

There was plenty of encouragement to be drawn from MADRIGAL MOMENT’s most recent effort. Third over C&D without ever really looking likely to win, she has fewer blemishes on her record than many of these and with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb, she can take another step forward. Spring tackles a mile for the first time and the addition of cheekpieces could also see her in a better light. Handicap debutant Rogue Identity warrants close inspection too.

CITY SELECTIONS

Pinjarra and Calafrio were comfortable winners last time out, but they’re both drawn wider than ideal and CARLTON AND CO was impressive latest too. Lewis Chalkley got a good tune out of the mare that day and, despite having a penalty to shoulder this time, she might be hard to reel in. Up The Monk had an excuse at Wolverhampton and it would be unwise to write off Sir Rodneyredblood, who has eight course wins to his name.

Race preview from Weatherbys

It is an absolute pleasure to be sponsoring the Weatherbys And Birdie CalendarsHandicapatChelmsfordthis evening, a Class 3 events staged over tenfurlongswithacompetitivefieldof13 settogotopost.

TheconsistentBragborislikelytoprove popular in the market here, officially 3lbs ‘well-in’ at the weights after going downbyjustaheadonstabledebutfor Richard Fahey at Newcastle last week. That is top form and, whilst he is yet to race anywhere other than Newcastle, there is no reason to believe the fouryear-oldcan’tgowellhere.

Ger Lyons’ Blue Point gelding shaped as though he will improve for this step up in trip and finds himself on just a 3lb higher mark with Rossa Ryan in the saddle.

CITY SELECTIONS

A competitive handicap could go the way of TYCOON. Less exposed than most of today’s rivals, the son of Kingman has been gelded since finishing a respectable sixth at York in September, and his yard has been among the winners in the past week. Bragbor has solid claims having just missed out at Newcastle recently, while the progressive King’s Code just got the better of Londoner when scoring at Kempton and that pair are hard to separate.

PLAY SMARTER

Unsurprisingly, a competitive affair given the relatively valuable pot on offer DIEGO EL QUESO arrives on the up for Ger Lyons and is completely unexposed over this distance. He gets the vote ahead of Londoner, who has been admirably consistent returned to middle distance handicaps and could be the main danger if first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) have the desired effect. Parlando shaped much better than the result over 1m last time and looks interesting, especially if supported.

CITY SELECTIONS

Eliza Bennet found one too good yet again when failing to land the odds at Kempton. Blinkers are applied in the hope of improvement, but the newcomer WHY NOT ME may prove above average. Stuart Williams’ filly is a half-sister to the Irish Oaks heroine You Got To Me and any strong support for the daughter of Time Test could point to a big run. Savannah Grey might prove best of the remainder

CITY SELECTIONS A narrow winner at Newcastle a week ago, KINDEST NATION found plenty for pressure in the final furlong and may well have won by further with a clear run. Toby Moore’s allowance negates her 5lb penalty and she could go in again. Stratocracy wasn’t beaten far when third at Wolverhampton and will likely shape well off an unchanged mark. McKenna is another to consider with last month’s reappearance run under his belt.

RED MIRAGE is a consistent performer and dual C&D winner who should be more competitive back at this track after suffering interference at Kempton last time. Stratocracy shaped better than the beaten distance suggests at Wolverhampton recently, racing wide but keeping on well. Revolutionise won this race last year and has three C&D wins to his name.
