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

RACE SUMMARY PLAY
ALL AUTHORIZED’s defeat at short odds here last month means he’s not one for maximum faith but he’s run well in a handicap since and is very much the standard setter American Land and Electric Jet need to shrug off lesser runs last time but might still be the pair to give Gary Moore’s representative most to do 1-2-3:

RACE SUMMARY
JOE COTTON made a real splash when justifying favouritism on his debut in this sphere at Exeter and, on that evidence, he looks capable of shrugging off a 10lb rise in the weights The main danger is likely to be posed by Dreaming Blue, who was also a wide-margin winner on his latest start.

Hard to be confident about any of these but FLAMELCO has shaped as if ahead of his mark this season and is likely to bounce back from a lesser effort, so he’s preferred to in-form pair
