HHHHI Good chance of being placed

HHHII By no meansout of thereckoning but atleast one or twoholdstrongerclaims

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

Although MALFOY MANOR failed to progress over hurdles last season the fact he went off at 2/1 for his handicap debut on final start suggests he’s thought capable of better and he’s joined the excellent Dan Skelton yard ahead of his chase debut/reappearance. Footloose Man needs considering back at the scene of his win in August. Jongleur d’Etolies might need longer trips before we see the very best of him over fences but he was prolific in handicap hurdles and is still respected on chase debut

Fairly useful Flat performer BRAVE KNIGHT was much improved when successful at this track last time and still looks very well-treated. Donnie Azoff didn’t need to improve to land a second success of the year at Hereford last time and should remain competitive off a 3lb higher mark, while Grenadier Jed would be interesting if returning in the sort of form he showed when landing a Taunton double in February.
