HHIII Unlikelytowin butnot totallywithout hope HIIII Canbegiven 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.

You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet

MISS GOLDFIRE has been running consistently well and this looks a good opportunity for her to finally shed maiden status over hurdles Lahinch Wave had the benefit of an enterprising ride when making a winning Rules debut atWorcester in September but should be competitive under a penalty, with the selection’s stablemate Neon Madonna likely to show more now moving up in trip on hurdle bow.
