Mr Didier Blot Hare Group Ltd Br

TIMEFORMVIEW Established himself as the best stayer in Europe last year, winning Goodwood Cup, Cadran at Longchamp and Long Distance Cup at Ascot. Took Nottingham Listed race on return but asking an awful lot of him to defy a mark of 120.

Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:

HHHHH Selected to win the race

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

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 nonhandicaps 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 For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet

You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet

If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY

BARROLO took another step forward as he made it 4 wins from 5 starts in handicaps with a bit to spare at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and, still unexposed at this trip, all looks set fair for another big run from Grant Tuer’s progressive 3-y-o. Fellow 3-y-o Fleur de Mer is improving herself and feared along with Western Beat. Queen of Sparta is one to note in the betting now handicapping for her shrewd stable

RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): B Ellison (35 wins from 399 runners, 9%) runs EXPLORERS WAY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): B Ellison (4 wins from 25 runners, 16%) runs EXPLORERS WAY LONGEST TRAVELLERS: NAADYAA & GLOBAL TYCOON trained by J Parr, both Newmarket, 241 miles.

In a wide-open looking handicap, GLOBAL TYCOON could prove to be the answer The 4-y-o is 1lb below the mark off which he opened his account at Kempton last year and has shaped as though his turn is again near in two starts for John Butler and, most recently atWindsor, on debut for this yard. Mr Heinz should appreciate this drop back in trip and is next on the list ahead of Mr Strutter
