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.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: GREY HORIZON trained by S Dixon, Rolleston, 110 miles.
Improving WOOLISLE looks the percentage call in a competitive event, though better is expected from Flying Squad now handicapping, and he rates a serious danger. Grey Horizon hasn’t won off a mark this high but arrives in the form of his life, while Oceti also appeals on his first run in a handicap

J & T Gosden won this race in 2018, 2022 & 2025. The stable runs CYRANO DE BERGERAC today.
CYRANO DE BERGERAC is bred to be smart and bumped into a good one when second at Lingfield 6 weeks ago. He’ll improve and can make his experience count. Indhaar and Asterial are appealing newcomers, while Steamroller could do a lot better with his debut run behind him.
