★★★★★ Selected to win the race

★★★★✩ Good chance of being placed.

13. Breeder

14. Trainer

15. Jockey

16. Sponsor 15

★★★✩✩ By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims.

★★✩✩✩ Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

★✩✩✩✩ Can be given little or no chance.

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. 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.

The details of Owner, Trainer, Breeder, Sponsor & Colours are highlighted on the card. If you are unsure about reading the card, remember to ask at a tote window for advice.

Race Description

Novice races tend to be for younger horses that are still learning their way over hurdles or fences and allow them to race against each other before graduating up the ranks. Horses are classed as a novice if they have yet to win a race, under the respective code, prior to the ofﬁcial start of the season, towards the end of April although for wins between 1st March and the end of the season they may continue to contest novice races until the end of the following October This particular two mile and three furlong novices’ hurdle race is for horses aged four-years-old and upwards which have not won more than three hurdle races.

There was plenty of promise in GRAND VENDETTA’s debut second to a potentially useful novice at Chepstow, especially considering that he was evidently very green.That experience will have done him the world of good and he shades preference ahead of Wandering Ego, who hasn’t really built on his runaway Stratford success in two subsequent starts in this sphere but he nevertheless remains of interest. Inkaman showed ability on his sole start on the Flat and is worth a second look.

A few of these hold potential but BEAUTY IN THE PARK possesses much the best form on show so is taken to go one better than her excellent recent C&D second. Wincanton scorer Queenie St Clair rates the obvious threat, although Olly Murphy’s hurdling newcomer Loro White is worth a market check.

Owners Prize Money. 1st £4241, 2nd £2120, 3rd £1061, 4th £530, 5th £265. (Penalty Value £5545.05)

Race Description

This is a two mile and half a furlong handicap hurdle race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 120. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 120 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 115.

Probable S.P’s: 5-2 Premier (FR), 11-4 Phoenix Risen (GB), 7-2 Courageous Strike (GB), 7-1 Imaginarium (IRE), 16-1 Doyen Star (IRE), 22-1 Teorie (IRE), 50-1 Daany (IRE)

PREMIER comes here on the up and can quickly resume winning ways on the back of an excellent Newbury third. Fellow C&D scorer Phoenix Risen is in ﬁne form too so should ensure Warren Greatrex’s 4-y-o doesn’t have things all his own way though, while Imaginarium, Teorie and Courageous Strike all enter calculations too in this competitive handicap.

The Arthur & Peggy White Memorial Handicap Steeple Chase

(Class 3) (Challenger Staying Chase Series Qualiﬁer) (GBB Race)

for ﬁve yrs old and upwards x Total prize fund £17500 Owners Prize Money. 1st £7068, 2nd £3533, 3rd £1768, 4th £884, 5th £441. (Penalty Value £9241.75)

Race Description

This is a two mile and seven furlongs handicap steeplechase for ﬁve-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 130. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 130 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 125.

Probable S.P’s: 13-8 Royal Jewel (IRE), 2-1 Bucksy des Epeires (FR), 5-2 Brave Kingdom (FR), 4-1 Captain Boudet (FR)

CAPTAIN BOUDET’s latest effort at Newbury was a shocker but the emerging pattern points to a strong preference for right-handed tracks where he is concerned and he gets the nod ahead off Bucksy des Epeires. If he puts his best foot forward he’ll have a real chance off this reduced mark, while Brave Kingdom looks risky and Royal Jewel’s stamina is unproven.
