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.
• Under the directions of the stewards, proceed quickly and calmly to the safe area.
Glasses & Bottles
Broken glasses and bottles are dangerous. In the interests of safety and the comfort of others please do not carry drinks or food on to the steppings of the stand, or the areas adjacent to the parade ring or unsaddling enclosure. Our catering team can transfer your drink into a plastic glass if you wish Horse & Jockey Welfare at Ffos Las

Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: S Br
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 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.

MAXIDENT ran well when runner-up over C&D in June and has solid claims of making a winning stable debut, particularly if the ground eases Road toWembley should be more competitive for the return to this trip in first time cheekpieces and may prove next best ahead of Mighty Bandit, who has claims if he can recapture the form shown in a higher grade earlier this season, while Kingdom of Stars has been in fine heart on the all-weather and could be a danger if translating his form to turf.

Christine(Chris)Bielby
Of the many racecourses my wife, Christine (Chris) Bielby attended, throughout the country, the one she loved the most was Ffos Las.
She was at the first meeting in 2009, took the opening ceremony photographs, and it was the last racecourse she visited before being taken ill.
She always used to say to me, “Going to Ffos Las is like coming home, everybody is so friendly and welcoming.”
So, it seems only right that a memorial race in her name should be held here, at Ffos Las,a racecourse she loved so much.
James Bielby.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: DARK ROSA trained by M Rimell, Witney, 150 miles.
CHARLIE MASON is 1lb lower than when successful over this trip at Leicester earlier in the season and will be suited by the step back up in distance having ran creditably over a sharper test at Chepstow 11 days ago. He’s preferred to Dark Rosa who shaped as if in good form at Doncaster last month, where held back by an unusually slow start, while On Edge looks worth another chance having been caught in a far from ideal position at Windsor last time
