KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey TrainerSponsor 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

ROVINIA is going through a good spell at present and she appeals as the most solid option. River Wharfe ran better than for a while at Windsor on his most recent outing and is considered the main threat on his return to classified company. Rainbow Sign can fill the places if bouncing back from a below-par effort at Lingfield.

Brighton Mile Challenge Trophy

First run in 1947 and won by Admiral’s Yarn, the Brighton Mile Challenge Trophy is one of our most historic races and steeped with good stories. The late Queen Elizabeth has twice displayed the trophy at Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty was so proud of her first victory with Talent in 1992 she paid for it to be cleaned, restored and polished. Set The Fashion ensured her second victory just 12 months later.

A year on from that and Shikari’s Son was seen landing a seventh course victory when taking the prize in the hands of Richard Quinn. More recent highlights include a first ever dead heat in 2010 when the judge could not split favourite Licence To Till (Kieran Fallon) and the Hayley Turner partnered Lastkingofscotland.

Tony Carroll, so often leading trainer here, saddled four winners on the opening day of the Festival in 2015 amongst them Pyrocumulus (Jim Crowley) in the Mile. In 2019 Tony took the trophy once again when De Vegas Kid scored under Darragh Keenan.

The Covex Kid, highly impressive in success in 2022 for trainer Amy Murphy, was a rare three-year-old winner. For the past two years the race has fallen the way of the late Uncle Dick and young apprentice Oliver Carmichael. The Eve Johnson Houghton trained performer was gaining an eighth course success when getting up on the line a year ago for owners the Eden Racing Club.

BUCKLAND BELLE rates easily the most solid in this field on the back of success at Leicester 2 weeks ago and she’s fancied to prove tough to contain from a 6lb higher mark over this longer trip. Port Darwin has had excuses of late and can be seen to better effect here, with veteran Annexation completing the dangers.
