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 must be 18 or over to place a bet
You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet

COMMITMENT TO HORSE WELFARE
We are committed to minimising risks, dealing quickly and humanely with injuries and maintaining the highest level of care At every meeting there are three specially qualified Equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action
A British Horseracing Authority Veterinary Officer is also in attendance working closely with the racecourse veterinary team. This is to ensure that any injury to a horse is recorded, so that it can be monitored when it returns to racing.
It is now a standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the course This does not reflect the severity of an injury, but allows the vet some privacy in which to administer treatment and provides the horse with a calmer environment Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse.
To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website: www.fontwellpark.co.uk
PREMIER ENCLOSURE UPGRADE
The Premier Enclosure allows access to all public areas of the racecourse, including the Ground Floor of the Premier Grandstand as well as Fontwell Gardens. The Grandstand offers additional indoor and outdoor seating, as well as premium bar, toilet and café facilities, a Betfred betting shop and flat screen TV to watch the thrilling racing action

RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY
HOT ROD LINCOLN got firmly back on track when third on handicap debut at Sandown in February and Harry Fry’s lightly-raced 7-y-o is fancied to open his account back in maiden company. Anthony Honeyball trained the winner of last year’s renewal, and his pair of hurdling debutants could be the ones to give the selection most to think about, with Shandancer rounding off the shortlist on the back of a breathing operation.

Doyens de Ante looks the obvious threat having seen out the longer trip thoroughly when opening his account at Chepstow 12 days ago, with Felton Bellevue seemingly best of the remainder

LONGEST TRAVELLER: DOYEN FOR MONEY trained by A Honeyball, Beaminster, 114 miles.
DOYEN FOR MONEY showed the benefit of a tongue tie when opening his account at Plumpton and can make light of a 4lb weight rise in a handicap where plenty arrive with a question mark against them. Rebel Intention took a step back in the right direction when seventh at Ascot last time and is feared most, with Forest Jump also in the mix now his stamina is drawn out more.
