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 nonhandicaps 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.

Preference is for L’ASTROBOY who made a winning debut at this course when landing a bumper on debut in February and ought to have a good future over obstacles Fellow hurdling debutants Inedit Star and Astronomic View are feared most.

MOONLIGHTER is a risky proposition in that he’s a sketchy jumper but he is handicapped to win and arrives on the back of a positive start for Kim Bailey, so he’s worth taking a chance on in an open race. Marco Island is one of two interesting chasing debutants for Anthony Honeyball and File Illico deserves respect.

THE DRAGONBET THE BOOKMAKER OF WALES HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 3)

Total race value £17550 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £6947, 2nd £3473, 3rd £1737, 4th £869, 5th £433. (Penalty Value £9083.32) Weights lowered 3lb. A winner on debut at Exeter,TRELAWNE lost all chance by hanging left late on in his follow-up bid back at that venue back in March. However, that’s best put down to greenness, and he clearly handles underfoot conditions well so it would come as no surprise to see him play a lead role on return/handicap debut. Franco d’Aunou ran a cracker when second on return at Fontwell and is feared, whilst Presenting Jeremy needs close market scrutiny on belated return for his leading yard.

BOBMAHLEY (also engaged Lingfield Thursday) was better than ever when scoring at Fakenham last time and, in a race where the majority have something to prove, he boasts excellent claims of going in again. Ballybreen is well treated back from 7 months off, so he’s considered, while Storm Force Ben could make his presence felt if his jumping holds up 1-2-3: 1.BOBMAHLEY (IRE) 2.BALLYBREEN

Evacuation Procedures

If an incident occurs which is beyond our control, it is important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency.

As part of our Safety management, we have employed professionally trained and experienced stewards and you will see them at various points throughout the racecourse. In the event of a situation, which requires partial or full evacuation of the stands or racecourse, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your immediate belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and calmly with the guidance of the stewards

The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area Should it be necessary to evacuate the course itself, there will be two main options; firstly to return to your vehicles if safe to do so and leave via the main entrance

Secondly, should it not be safe to return to your vehicles, you will be requested to leave via emergency evacuation gates, onto the racecourse itself, where you will receive further instructions.

It may give you peace of mind if you pre plan and agree a meeting place, just in case you become separated from your party. The above is precautionary only and we trust that the procedures will never be required. However, in the event of an emergency, remember;

• Take your belongings with you.
