Horses can be attended to in the same time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating injured jockeys. 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.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: RAECIUS FELIX trained by R Menzies, Sedgefield, 136 miles.

SWAPPED has benefited from a switch to chasing lately and barely put a foot wrong when scoring comfortably at Worcester last time, so he’s an obvious choice to go in again. Duke of Luckley looks the chief threat and Raecius Felix can’t be ruled out

LONGEST TRAVELLER: RIVER OF JOY trained by P Bowen, Haverfordwest, 281 miles.

RIVER OF JOY only had to run to a modest level to come out on top at Ffos Las last month, but this is another weak affair and she still has scope for further improvement based on her bumper form, especially with the step up in trip likely to suit, so she’s more appealing than Manimole and Ma Belle Noire, who both look fully exposed now. Sunday Solider was verging on fair in bumpers and could emerge as the chief threat now goinghurdling for another new stable

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): S England (7 wins from 55 runners, 13%) runs RIGGSBY

TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): M Appleby (5 wins from 33 runners, 15%) runs SKEETER PARK

LONGEST TRAVELLER: COCONUT TWIST trained by B Barr, Sherborne, 188 miles.

A case can be made for a few of these but COCONUT TWIST is taken to gain a deserved first success with the form of his latest second here having been franked. Game Beaaa also bids to shed her maiden tag and is feared most on the back of her encouraging C&D fourth. Handicap debutant Skeeter Park and recent scorers Methodtothemagic and Bensini need factoring in too.
