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 must be 18 or over to place a bet

RACE SUMMARY

GIVEGA catches the eye on paper and, having won his sole outing in points, he makes plenty of appeal Clapton Hill was doing his best work at the finish on hisWarwick bumper debut, so is sure to be suited by this step up in trip, with Viking’s Way and Montgomery others to note.

GRANDCHAMP displayed a fair level of ability over hurdles in France and, having transferred to a successful yard, he looks the way to go Time Flies By isn’t an easy one to assess given his fleeting appearances but he’s a big danger if on his game, while Dancing Harry possesses plenty of scope in this sphere given his Flat ability.

The stable runs CAROLINES CHARM today. LONGEST TRAVELLER: SEABOROUGH trained by D Shaw, Sproxton, 193 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

FLASH THE STEEL goes very well fresh and hails from a yard among the winners so is fancied to capitalise on a handy-looking mark on his return. Handicap-debutants Winterwatch and InThe Air remain with potential and appeal as the duo to give Dan Skelton’s veteran most to do in that order.

RACE SUMMARY

The vote goes to MA BELLE NOIRE, who looks to have been allotted a fair opening mark judged on her runner-up effort at Chepstow in March. Sadie Hill could do better now venturing into handicaps for a new stable, while Cherry Cola posted a good second at Plumpton in September and can also have a say.
