OFFICI A L BH A R ATINGS E X PL AINED

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

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.

HERE WE HAVE IT did remarkably well to overcome interference at a vital stage over C&D last time and shouldn’t find a 4lb rise enough to stop him. Fellow C&D winner Ardmayle ran respectably on his return and is entitled to be sharper here, whilst the suspicion remains that Onesoc is capable of a better effort over fences

SORCERESS MEDEA is particularly interesting making her handicap debut after a couple of promising efforts in the summer and is taken to make a winning start for Laura Morgan, the drop in trip likely to suit this speedily-bred sort. Angels Landing should be seen to better effect this time and will perhaps represent some value, whilst Harkangel makes her handicap bow from a potentially workable mark
