Race Summary: RAINYDAY WOMAN is a really imposing type and having shown useful form in bumpers, she’s an exciting prospect in this sphere. This looks a good opportunity for Paul Nicholls’ charge to make a winning hurdling debut. Cup Of Coffee should be up to winning races over hurdles so she’s feared most after her runner-up effort at Warwick 5 weeks ago, ahead of newcomer Yvette Guilbert.

Race Summary: MUSE OF FIRE went well for a long way on his recent comeback run over 2 1/2m here and might be worth siding to build on that now dropping back in trip. His new stablemate Massini Man has a good record when fresh so he’s a possible threat, while Heart of A Lion is an interesting chase newcomer from the Alan King yard.

Race Summary: CURRENT MOOD was impressive on her recent hurdle debut. That was over 2m but her pair of 3m points wins and a 2 1/2m bumper second in Ireland suggest this much longer trip shouldn’t be a problem and she can make it 2-2 over timber. The fact Another Brown Bear went off favourite on his hurdle debut suggests he’s thought capable of a lot better than he showed on that occasion and he may prove next best.

Race Summary: The vote goes to CUBAN PETE, who boasts a good record when fresh and there are no concerns surrounding the 9-y-o on account of the trip/ground here. On the other hand, Arcade Attraction’s stamina has to be taken on trust, but he’ll be a threat if this trip proves to be within range. From The Heart has to be feared on the back of his facile Exeter success, and Tinkers Hill Tommy also has claims.

VIEWING ON COURSE

Would all patrons please note that while any race is in progress no person is allowed on the course except Racecourse Ground Staff and First Aid Attendants. All other persons must stay behind the running rails. THIS INCLUDES OWNERS, TRAINERS, JOCKEYS, PRESS and PHOTOGRAPHERS.

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-handicap 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.
