Br TIMEFORMVIEWGalileo colt who was a wide-margin winner of a 10-runner maiden at the Curragh on debut and overcame the rise in class/greenness to follow up in 10f Group 3 there. Toughed it out well to maintain his unbeaten record in Gordon Stakes at Goodwood and extra distance promises to suit. Big shout.
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.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: WOOLHAMPTON trained by R Millman, Cullompton, 242 miles.
ABERAMA GOLD faces a bigger field than he did when accounting for nine rivals in the 2023 renewal of this handicap, but he’s significantly lower in the weights this time round and is appealing having again shaped well behindVintage Clarets at Catterick last time. He may have most to fear from Jer Batt, who is of strong interest back at 5f, while top-weight Blue Storm should have a part to play, along with the aforementioned Vintage Clarets

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ABDUCTION trained by J Goldie, Glasgow, 245 miles.
This is wide open but Richard Fahey’s ZIP took a step back in the right direction with a recent sixth at Leicester and can now capitalise on a lenient mark to bag a fourth C&D success
Tennessee Gold is enjoying a good 2024 and feared most in his bid for a third victory, while Count Palatine, Racingbreaks Ryder and Abduction all need factoring in too.
