The second vet follows the action from the stands and coordinates the required response to any incidents In addition, throughout the meeting a close check is kept on all horses, especially those returning after a race It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected around the horse It is designed to afford the vet and the patient some privacy Please do not assume the worst

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.

KAYF HERNANDO’s novice handicap form at the end of 2022 looks solid and he gets the nod to make a successful return from a break for the Skeltons. Lounge Lizard had the form of his latest Catterick win boosted when the second scored at Market Rasen on Sunday and he’s feared most ahead of the reliable Tommie Beau

The clear pick is LITTLE MISS DANTE, who fetched £100,000 as a 3-y-o and made a promising start to her career when going close at Huntingdon. Unless one of the newcomers turn out to be pretty decent, she won’t need to improve upon that form to go one better here. Braunton Burrows is the most appealing of the debutantes on paper and is preferred to Rogue Queen for forecast purposes
