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

Having returned to form when finding just one too good at Huntingdon last time, SIR ROCK looks the way to go He is 4lb lower than when scoring over C&D last January and gets the nod ahead of Fine Investment, who didn’t shape at all badly on his belated seasonal reappearance at Leicester. Wellwillya did the job well here last time but whether or not he will be in the same form is anybody’s guess

KALIF D’AIRY needs to shrug off a lesser effort over further here 33 days ago, but he was compiling a pretty solid record in handicaps previously so, with the drop back in trip unlikely to pose any fears, he gets the nod to bounce back returned to maiden company. Recent Southwell second Whatsyourproblem is an obvious danger, whilst Boston Boy is more than capable of playing a part if putting his best foot forward. 1-2-3:
