HHIII Unlikelytowin butnot totallywithout hope HIIII Canbegiven 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.
You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet

FRENCH SYMPHONY showed plenty in bumpers last season and, with the longer trip bound to suit now going hurdling, he makes plenty of appeal, especially with his yard very much amongst the winners. Lagertha is another who shaped with encouragement in bumpers and shouldn’t be taken lightly, with successful-pointer Tommy The Tank completing the shortlist

LONGEST TRAVELLER: WHATSUPWITHYOU trained by B Pauling, Naunton, 150 miles.
The betting should prove useful with a number making their seasonal return but INCA DE LAFAYETTE made a successful reappearance 12 months ago and, having ended the campaign in good order, he’s narrowly selected to continue the good work. Junkanoo appeals as being on a handy mark and is respected provided the trip doesn’t stretch him. Oscars Moonshine completes the shortlist
