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

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.

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.

SHOT BOII was almost six lengths adrift of the runner-up Try The Money when fourth over C&D during the spring, but he’s unlikely to face anything like the same level of competition for the lead this time and resumes on a 2lb lower mark, with Rian Corcoran claiming a further 10lb.TryThe Money should give another good account if tuned-up for this and he is feared most ahead of Esperti.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): E Williams (42 wins from 429 runners, 10%) runs BOSSOFTHEBUS & IMPERIAL MEASURE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D Pipe (3 wins from 13 runners, 23%) runs JAIPALETEMPS
LONGEST TRAVELLER: JAIPALETEMPS trained by D Pipe, Wellington, 150 miles.
On the back of a facile success here recently, French import JAIPALETEMPS is a sizeable step ahead of the handicapper under a 7lb penalty and, given the dearth of in-form opposition, he will surely prove very hard to beat. If Dj Pete’s jumping passes the test this time he could be the one for the forecast ahead of Ballywood and Imperial Measure.

TIMEFORMVIEWWon 3 claiming chases in France and did the job well when opening account on these shores over 2m here (soft) recently, providing Rian Corcoran (again in the hot-seat) with a first career victory. Very strong claims under a penalty with this step back up in trip unlikely to be an issue. TFRHHHHH BHA94 (+9)
