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

A host in with chances but STYLE KING took a big step forward on yard/handicap debut when second at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and, with better still to come, Chris Dwyer’s charge gets the nod to go one better. His main threat may emerge from Cupola, who took a step forward last time and this switch to a handicap/ turf could unlock further progress Valsharah and Moostar can fight out minor honours

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): R Millman (17 wins from 153 runners, 11%) runs BAMA LAMA TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): H Eustace (2 wins from 8 runners, 25%) runs ANCIENT TIMES
LONGEST TRAVELLER: BAMA LAMA trained by R Millman, Cullompton, 149 miles.
It could be worth chancing ANTIPHON, who lurks on a very dangerous mark back at the scene of most of his best performances Saturday’s Doncaster winner Ancient Times has obvious claims if turned out again under a penalty, while Bama Lama is another who has often reserved her best for Windsor
