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. claims HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but HIIII Can be given little or no chance. at least one or two hold stronger

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.

WHERE TO BET There are a variety of places to bet at the course; The Tote has selling points throughout the racecourse - easily identified by the Tote Betting or totepool signs. The bookmakers are located in front of the grandstand in the ‘Betting Ring’. The bookmakers display their odds for each race and compete to offer the best price to customers. These are fixed price bets and the amount of your winnings will be printed on your betting slip. Search around to get the best price for your selection. Minimum Stakes The Tote has a minimum bet of £2. The bookmakers vary but if they have a minimum it will be shown on the boards displaying their odds. If in doubt – just ask.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): M Appleby (36 wins from 286 runners, 13%) runs BALDOMERO TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): M Appleby (3 wins from 22 runners, 14%) runs BALDOMERO LONGEST TRAVELLER: BALDOMERO trained by M Appleby, Oakham, 142 miles. RACE SUMMARY

None of these can be ruled out but dual C&D winner CLEARPOINT looked better than ever when going in at Wolverhampton last time and is weighted to rack up a four-timer. Baldomero also comes here in rare form and rates a big danger, while the Robert Cowell-trained duo Almaty Star and Fidelius also need considering. 1-2-3: 1.CLEARPOINT 2.BALDOMERO (IRE) 3.ALMATY STAR (IRE) KEY colours

RACE SUMMARY Successful in this race in 2023 (also runner-up 12 months ago), TYRRHENIAN SEA produced a satisfactory return from 6 months off when third in a Kempton listed contest over shorter 4 weeks ago. That ought to have teed him up nicely for this and Roger Varian’s 7-y-o makes plenty of appeal.

INVITED wasn’t seen to best effect here last time out and this course scorer is taken to capitalise on a handy-looking mark at the chief expense of Rey de La Batalla who also has winning form at the track and arrives in good nick. Course specialist Hitched and in-form Way To Dubai can also have a say in this tight-knit handicap.
