KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor 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.
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope HIIII Can be given little or no chance.
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 birthplace of horse if not Great Britain

They had made a vital contribution to the team’s promotion the previous season and were looking forward to the season ahead. Their team mates and the whole club were devastated by their loss Indeed it touched the whole football communit y who came together in grief to suppor t each other and the families of these young men
Mat t worked for Brighton and Hove Albion as a member of the Ground Staf f. Jacob was about to embark on a Masters at Sussex Universit y in Town Planning They both lef t behind girlfriends with whom they were planning a secure future They were both immensely popular and leave behind numerous friends who are determined to keep their memories alive. The family and friends come together to play an annual charit y football match in their honour The suppor t is incredible and all the money raised goes to the Brighton and Hove Albion Foundation
This tragedy was responsible for the deaths of nine other men, all from Sussex. The wider communit y of Sussex has been hit hard by this horrif ic crash and the families would like to thank ever yone for their wonder ful suppor t.
To have a race at Brighton named af ter Matt and Jacob is a tremendous way to commemorate these two fantastic young men and their families are proud to be a par t of this occasion.

Jake Cheeseman
In loving memory of our wonderful son, whose love for fast cars was matched only by his love for life. He found joy in the roar of an engine, family holidays, spontaneous days out, and sharing burgers with those he loved most. His laughter was infectious, his heart was kind, and his presence lit up every room.
He lived with passion, always chasing the next adventure, and brought happiness to everyone around him. Though he’s no longer with us, his spirit remains in every memory, every smile, and every road we travel. We miss him deeply and love him always.

This looks trappy with all five holding realistic claims. The vote goes to STINTINO SUNSET, who failed to build on her solid Windsor third in June when filling the same spot at Epsom a month later, but that was still a creditable enough effort and she is now 1lb below her last winning mark. Foinix and Irezumi are both in good form and are feared most in that order of preference.

The two with the most appealing claims are BEAUTIFUL DAWN and Fighting Poet, given that Chourmo’s recent efforts not been particularly inspiring and the doubts surrounding the suitability of this trip where Voltaic is concerned. Fighting Poet’s two career wins were gained off higher marks here in 2024 and he’s greatly respected with Jim Crowley aboard. Still, Beautiful Dawn has performed with credit both starts since joining the James Owen yard and she shades preference.

BLACKBROOK remains a maiden, but he doesn’t have particularly high mileage and is appealing on the back of what was arguably his best effort yet when third over 7f here recently, leaving the impression that the return to this trip would be in his favour. Next on the list is Monks Mead, who hasn’t got his head in front for a while but he’s on a good mark and has shown signs that his turn may be near in recent months. River Wharfe is also considered, along with Bear To Dream.
