Mr Didier Blot Hare Group Ltd Br

TIMEFORMVIEW Established himself as the best stayer in Europe last year, winning Goodwood Cup, Cadran at Longchamp and Long Distance Cup at Ascot. Took Nottingham Listed race on return but asking an awful lot of him to defy a mark of 120.

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

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

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.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet

RACE SUMMARY

ARABIAN STORM shaped well when a close second in a 7f Newmarket maiden last October The third, fourth and fifth in that contest all won next time and this son of Kingman should prove hard to beat. Old Smoke showed up well on his C&D debut 5 weeks ago and is the one likely to follow Andrew Balding’s charge home unless the betting speaks in the favour of newcomers Nwaira and/or Azaim.

RACE SUMMARY

FURNITURE FACTORS belatedly got off the mark at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, and with several of his rivals arriving with questions to answer, Ronald Thompson’s charge gets the verdict to follow up. Urban Road could give the selection most to think about provided he’s fully tuned up after 8 months off, with Mintnthat and Galton another couple worthy of a mention.

RACE SUMMARY

Low-grade fare and it could be worth chancing EXCEED on his handicap debut

His comeback run here 3 weeks ago was better and he might be able to build on that. Debydinks rather blotted his copybook behind Goose Rock at Lingfield but has good claims on his previous near-miss at Southwell if proving straighter now. Urban Dandy is probably worth sticking with and completes the shortlist
