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

LE GALLI BIER can step up on his run here last time and make it second time lucky for new connections John The Spark could pose a threat if reproducing the pick of his Irish form, while Sonification can also play a prominent role if shrugging off a couple of lesser runs in handicaps.

A tricky puzzle to solve despite the small field but preference is for A MOMENTS MADNESS, who was unable to build on a promising chasing debut last time, but he’s had a wind operation since last seen andWarren Greatrex’s 6-y-o remains open to improvement in this sphere. Davidoc heads up the dangers returning from a 2-month break, with last-time-out winner Diplomatic Ash rounding off the shortlist

Each of the quintet holds realistic claims, with marginal preference for ONEWAYWEST who looked on the up when splitting two subsequent winners on his penultimate run and can be forgiven his most recent effort having sustained a cut. Lunar Sovereign is well-handicapped if rediscovering his best form on stable debut and any market support would be worth noting, while last-time out winner Continuance could still be improving having only his fifth start over hurdles

Perhaps the return to hurdles will give PROPER TWELVE a lift following a couple of potentially confidence-damaging scenarios in the early stages of handicap chases at Taunton (unseated at the first) and here (lost his position after being slammed into at the first fence) the last twice. He is now 1lb lower compared to when scoring over hurdles in May 2023 and the first-time cheekpieces may aid his cause Vendant is feared back down in trip, while Ivane is of interest on debut for James Owen.

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for the reliable HOBB’S DELIGHT who didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Uttoxeter last time and can capitalise on a 1lb lower mark here to gain a deserved first win of the season. In-form maiden Leading Swoop heads the list of dangers, although Getupearly and Elpologreg can both have a say too.
