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.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (19-24): G & J Moore (73 wins from 346 runners, 21%) runs AUTHENTIC LEGACY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): J Owen (10 wins from 41 runners, 24%) runs JUBILANT LONGEST TRAVELLER: JUBILANT trained by J Owen, Newmarket, 113 miles.
AUTHENTIC LEGACY has found just one too good on both his hurdling runs thus far and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better now. Gooloogong rates much the biggest threat on the back of his recent C&D third, with Jubilant another to consider if building on his Fakenham third.

This looks a particularly strong renewal of what is always one of the hottest handicap hurdles of the season. Setbacks meant DYSART ENOS and Burdett Road missed Grade 1 targets at the spring festivals but that misfortune allowed them to protect lenient-looking marks in the low 130s and they look the pair to focus on, with preference for the former Be Aware and Emmet Mullins pair Jacovec Cavern and Toll Stone are other interesting contenders.
