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 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.

WELCOME
Every five days, a baby is born in Wales who will have cerebral palsy, the most common physical disability in childhood worldwide. There are currently 1,800 children in Wales living with the condition. Cerebral palsy is a permanent condition, resulting from damage to the brain before, during, or soon after birth. It can affect movement, sensation, perception, cognition, communication, and eating and drinking. In some children, all these functions are affected. Cerebral Palsy Cymru is a national charity based in Cardiff. We were set up by families to help other families. We provide the only specialist therapy and family support service in Wales for babies and young children living with, or at high risk of developing, cerebral palsy - both at our children’s centre in Llanishen, and via outreach visits across Wales. Our flagship early intervention service, Better Start, Better Future, focuses on babies from birth to two and a half years old, when the brain is at its most adaptable. At this critical stage, our specialist therapy can have a lifechanging impact on a child’s future outcomes. Our team of highly specialist physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists work together, in a unique transdisciplinary way, to help each child reach their full potential, physically, emotionally and socially. Working alongside our therapists, our Family Support Service provides emotional and practical help to families from the very beginning of their journey. We’re unable to do what we do without our generous supporters. As a charity, 81% of our income is self-sourced via fundraising and retail activity. This support enables us to employ and train highly specialist therapists, counsellors and support staff, and to run our amazing children’s centre – offering a lifeline to those children and families that we serve. To find our more, please visit www.cerebralpalsycymru.org. Together with your support, we can continue providing therapy and support to children and families across Wales living with cerebral palsy, and ensure no child is left behind.

Horse & Jockey Welfare at Ffos Las
Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a highspecification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital. It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website www.ffoslasracecourse.com.
Admission Policy
• Entry to the racecourse is subject to the right of the racecourse executive to refuse to admit and/or to expel, without prior notice, any person whose behaviour is considered to be unruly or unacceptable or is a disqualified person. • Bringing alcohol into the enclosures other than that purchased at the racecourse is prohibited. Barbecues are not permitted. • No Dogs allowed (except Registered Assistance Dogs) • Racegoers must at all times comply with any conditions, rules and regulations in operation, including the observance of no drinking areas for safety reasons. • Lost and stolen badges will not be replaced.
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.
Photography
Racegoers may take photographs for private purposes. Under no circumstances may photographs taken on the racecourse be used for publication without the permission of the racecourse executive. Flash photography is essentially dangerous where horses are involved. You are asked not to use flash photography anywhere in the parade ring area and particularly near the Winners Enclosure.
Radios & Mobile Phones
The use of all types of communication equipment is strictly controlled at all racecourses. Members of the public may not use two-way radios, scanning receivers etc. for any purpose at the racecourse. Mobile telephones may not be used in or near any designated betting area, or for off-course betting purposes. Further details are available from the racecourse office.

ROI DU ROUME has a basement mark to exploit in this sphere and had excuses on the back of a serious error when fourth at Perth on his most recent start in September. He likely remains with a bigger effort in his locker, not least now stepping back up in trip and can put his assured fitness to good use. Chase debutants Tell The Tale and My Own Lovely Lee are others to factor in, with Wannabe and The Magus others likely players if ready to roll on their respective returns to action.

TUTTI QUANTI will make a chaser and was easily the best of these over hurdles, so should prove hard to beat if ready to go. Fellow chase-debutant George’s Lad may emerge as the biggest threat having looked transformed by a breathing operation at Haydock in April.

RACE SUMMARY
IL EST FRANCAIS looked one with serious problems last season but this former high-class chaser starts off the new campaign on a potentially lenient mark on his first run for the Skeltons.
