FIRST RACE 5.45 TWO MILES ABOUT THREE AND A HALF FURLONGS (2M 3F 83YDS) FOR FIVE YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE CP CIVIL ENGINEERING (UK) WELCOMES BACK SPECTATORS HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 5) Total race value £6061 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £1920, 2nd £960, 3rd £480, 4th £289, 5th £280, 6th £280, 7th £280, 8th £280. (Penalty Value £2505.16)

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (16-21): P Bowen (36 wins from 230 runners, 16%) runs LERMOOS LEGEND TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): P Bowen (4 wins from 13 runners, 31%) runs LERMOOS LEGEND WEIGHTWATCHER: POINTED AND SHARP won off a handicap mark of 117, his rating is now down 14lb to 103.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: POINTED AND SHARP trained by P Hobbs and CELTIC JOY trained by G F Edwards, both Minehead, 147 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

LERMOOS LEGEND’s form is on an upward curve and he is fancied to rattle off a quick hat-trick here after his impressive victory last time. Out For Justice also arrives in excellent order and poses the biggest danger, with veteran Fact Flow and Hexham-scorer Trumps Benefit likely to be on the premises too in an open handicap.

RACE SUMMARY

LORD SCHNAPPS made a promising start for Dr Richard Newland when runner-up at Worcester and can go one better here off the same mark. Dunbar is still to register a victory but arrives in very good nick and looks the one to give him most to do, although chasing-debutant Ballinsker is not taken lightly either on the back of his Southwell hurdling success.

RACE SUMMARY

Veteran CLEARLY CAPABLE looked in his best nick for some time when scoring second time up for Daniel Bourne over C&D a fortnight ago. An 8lb rise demands more, but he looks capable of winning again and is taken to follow up. Beau Haze is sure to be popular in his hat-trick bid but may have to settle for silver, while hopes are pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking Gavrocheka back to form.

Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH HHHHI HHHII HHIII HIIII

Selected to win the race.

Good chance of being placed.

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.

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.

RACE SUMMARY

A case can be made for all of these but the most persuasive one is for JAUNTY VIKING who should find this step up in distance in his favour and can follow up his recent win here. Monty Guiry is less exposed than most and feared now going into handicaps, with Worcester-scorer Asockastar another who can have a say.

RACE SUMMARY

This looks a match between hurdling newcomer THE BOMBER LISTON and recent C&D winner Equus Dancer. The first-named showed plenty without winning in bumpers and should prove well suited by this longer trip, so he takes marginal preference over the more battle-hardened 7-y-o, who won’t go down without a fight.

Dancingwith Storms has returned in good order back from a lengthy absence, so he’s respected, with Bold Reason also worth a second look on his comeback for a new stable.
