OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS

Trainer

Sponsor

Timeform Rating

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.

THE EBF RESTRICTED NOVICE STAKES (CLASS 5) (for horses in Bands C and D) (GBB RACE)

CITY SELECTIONS

Runner-up on his debut in August, ANTONIN DVORAK made no mistake when going one place better at the expense of a subsequent winner over 7f at Musselburgh last month. With further improvement forecast, he gets the vote to land the spoils for the in-form Karl Burke team. Master Technician was a ﬁne second over a mile at Bath recently and he can emerge as the main danger to the selection, while Gilet has been running consistently well of late and shouldn’t be underestimated.

CITY SELECTIONS

Habitual prominent-racer TWITCH is well drawn to attack here and he gets the tentative vote in what looks a trappy affair He showed a likeable attitude when scoring gamely to bring up a C&D double last month and, nudged up 2lb, a bold bid for the hat-trick is expected. Lady Wingalong found only one rival too good over 7f at Wolverhampton recently and a 1lb rise doesn’t discount another prominent showing, while the application of blinkers (retained) produced a better display from Dumfries over that same track and trip last month and he is also respected.

Lady Wingalong

Leading course trainer (19-24): M Appleby (68 wins from 564 runners, 12%) runs BIG NARSTIE

Weightwatcher: BIG NARSTIE won off a handicap mark of 67, his rating is now down 7lb to 60.

CITY SELECTIONS

BARAQ impressed when bringing up the double over this trip at Newcastle earlier in the month, setting strong fractions before coming clear of his rivals in the closing stages. Racing off a 4lb higher mark, the suspicion is that this progressive son of Frankel can rate higher still. Dutch Decoy doubtless has the ability to play a hand in a race of this nature and, after being outclassed in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket recently, he merits respect with his sights lowered on the comeback trail. Eagle Day is another to consider in what looks a competitive affair

PLAY SMARTER

The hat-trick beckons for BARAQ, who deserves extra credit for hanging on after a rather inefﬁcient effort at Newcastle last week and Sir Mark Prescott’s colt can defy a 4lb higher mark at the chief expense of Red Hat Eagle, who was a C&D winner back in the summer and came from a bit further back than ideal when a creditable ﬁfth at Ayr 3 weeks ago. Eagle Day and Charming Whisper are another couple to consider, too.

CITY SELECTIONS

From a handy draw, the lightly-weighted BOLD SUITOR has a lot going for him in this company and, having fended off the persistent H Key Lails to edge a tight ﬁnish over track and trip on his penultimate start, the son of Brazen Beau can cement his authority off the same mark as when runner-up back here a fortnight ago. Thomas Equinas and fellow C&D winner Absolutely Buzzing also have solid chances.

CITY SELECTIONS

From just 2lb above his last winning mark on turf, REGAL ENVOY appeals on these terms with little to fear from reverting to Polytrack. Brandon Wilkie pitching in with his 3lb claim is a further boost for the selection at the weights and he is taken to hold sway over all-weather debutant Chief Mankato and previous C&D winner Princess Shabnam, who is attractively-weighted as a result of a lengthy winless sequence.

It might be worth taking a chance on MANY A STAR who looks like he is bouncing back to form. Market conﬁdence behind Tan Rapido would make him a possible threat back from a break. Dark Side Thunder was back on form at Yarmouth last time and also makes the shortlist.

CITY SELECTIONS

NEMOV seemed to appreciate dropping back to 6f when he scored comfortably at Kempton at the back-end of August and, still unexposed in handicaps, the son of Blue Point should be progressive enough to cope with a 9lb higher mark based on that eye-catching effort. Fellow last-time-out winner American Bay is feared most on just his second start on a synthetic surface. Bowman and Spring Bloom are a couple of others to monitor in the betting market.

CITY SELECTIONS

Having scored in good style over 6f at Wolverhampton last Saturday, DOVES OF PEACE appears primed to strike while the iron is hot. Joe Bradnam’s 7lb claim can help him overcome a 4lb rise. Time Patrol rates the biggest danger off just 1lb higher than a head defeat over 6f at Wolverhampton last month, while Araifjan was also narrowly beaten last time and another bold bid can be expected.

CITY SELECTIONS

After a bloodless success over an extended 5f at Brighton on Tuesday, this represents a good opportunity for MARCHING MAC to follow up. Phil McEntee’s charge scored by eight lengths on that occasion and, despite having a modest all-weather record, a 2lb rise appears lenient. Colors Of Freedom scored over 5f at Wolverhampton last month and she is feared most, while Kento is also of interest.

MARCHING MAC goes unpenalised for his recent wide-margin win at Brighton on Tuesday so, provided this doesn’t come too soon, Phil McEntee’s 3-y-o is strongly fancied to notch career success number 3. Second choice is Colors of Freedom, who ended a 20-month losing run at Wolverhampton last month, while Kento was runner-up over C&D on his penultimate outing and can leave a lesser effort behind back at this track.

CITY SELECTIONS

An open contest sees a chance taken on CURTIZ, who was narrowly denied when second over 1m2f at Windsor in May The seven-year-old was only beaten a short-head on that occasion and, with a win at this venue earlier in the year, he can defy a 2lb rise. Sunset In Paris scored in good style over C&D in August and a repeat of that effort would see him offer a bold bid, while Mc’ted isn’t easily discounted either
