Official BHA Ratings
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.

PLAY SMARTER
LAURENS DREAM shaped well and was noted finishing to good effect having been forced to delay her challenge when third at Yarmouth (7f) 2 weeks ago. Up to defying this sort of mark on that evidence, she gets the nod to confirm the promise of that run. Zadkiel under Rossa Ryan and Unex Friendly look next best.

Horse Welfare at Leicester Racecourse
At every meeting at Leicester Racecourse there are two specially-qualified equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action. During the race one vet will be following the runners and can attend to a horse in the same response time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating injured jockeys The second vet is based below the stewards box in the grandstand, is in radio contact with his colleague following the runners, and can respond immediately to any uncovered emergency. In addition there is a third vet, a British Horseracing Authority Veterinary team and the stewards.
The Racecourse also employs a specialist Horse Ambulance Team, equipped with a modern equine ambulance to enable injured horses to be transported safely to a veterinary hospital for treatment. It is now standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the course This does not reflect on the severity of an injury, but allows the vet some privacy in which to administer treatment and provides the horse with a calm environment in which to make a recovery. Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse

Tongue Strap worn first time by No 1. Hood worn by No 1, 3. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 3, 5.
Probable S.P’s: 10-3 Equion (GB), 7-2 Marsh Benham (IRE), 11-2 Turn Up The Heat (IRE), 6-1 Run For The Sun (IRE), 12-1 Golden Sands (IRE), 14-1 Alfie Boy (GB), 16-1 Hartswood (GB), 18-1 Bet Me (IRE), 40-1 Forca Timao (IRE), 80-1 Angel Mac (IRE)
Both winners under testing conditions recently, EQUION and Marsh Benham can be expected to come to the fore once again. There isn’t much to choose between them, with marginal preference for the former who did the job well over this C&D recently and he remains on a winning mark up 5lb Marsh Benham has two ways of running but he will be a serious threat if able to reproduce the form of his career-best display at Brighton 11 days ago Turn Up The Heat is third choice ahead of Run For The Sun.

BROOKLYN NINE NINE: Following its run on 11/10/2024 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.
Probable S.P’s: 6-4 Marching Mac (IRE), 2-1 Mister Bluebird (GB), 4-1 Brooklyn Nine Nine (IRE), 10-1 Batal Zabeel (IRE)
MARCHING MAC is thriving at present and strongly fancied to bag a fourth win of the autumn on the back of his facile Nottingham victory last week. Recent Bath scorer Mister Bluebird appeals as the one to chase home Phil McEntee’s 3-y-o ahead of Brooklyn Nine Nine
