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.

Raceday preview from Weatherbys

Weatherbys are delighted to be sponsoring no fewer than five of today’s sevenraces,startingwithracetwoonthe card, a novices’ handicap chase over an extended3m,inwhichfivegotopost.

Improving chaser Swapped, formerly trained by Nicky Henderson and arriving here on a four-timer (last two wins coming at this track), heads the weights, whilst Tango Echo Charlie made a successfuldebutoverfencesatFontwell. Where he shaped like stepping back up intripwouldsuit.TheDanSkelton-trained Snipeistheonlychasingdebutantinthe field.

Swapped looks to complete the four-timer but will have to defy top-weight.

Last month’s easy course-and-distance winnerMysticMantopstheweightsforthe Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk Handicap Chase and given how comfortably he won, an 11lb rise might not prevent the six-year-old from following up, for young trainerHarryDerham.BenBromleyagain takes off 5lb and conditions remain in his favour. The lightly-raced six-yearold is 2-2 over fences here at Southwell, incidentally.

SixgotopostfortheWeatherbysStallion Book Novices’ Hurdle, with five of them beingpreviouswinners.TheOllyMurphytrained Butch (rated 124) and Kim Bailey’sDestroytheevidence(123)setthe standard,whilstTzarmixisaninteresting recruit to the Jonjo O’Neill-stable, given that he lowered the colours of Tolworth

Hurdle runner-up L’Astroboy, when last seen. He changed hands for £70,000 in May and makes his first start for new owner, Mrs Carolyn Kendrick, and will be partneredbyherson,Max.

The penultimate race – the weatherbysshop.co.uk Handicap Hurdle, over the minimum trip – has attracted eight runners, including the Laura Morgan-trained Socialist Agenda, who has been in action on the Flat during the summer. He won the Scottish County Hurdle in February 2022 and is now 6lbs lower, so would be a threat to all if recapturing his old form, whilst Sergeant Wilsonsurelyhasmoretooffer,beingjust fiveandhavinghadonlythesevenstarts overhurdles.

He looked to be a really bright prospect when winning a Taunton bumper some 19 months ago and as a result, was duly purchased by Simon Munir and Isaac Souede.Heprogressedsteadilyinhisfirst season over hurdles and was successful at Fakenham, when sporting a firsttime hood. A free-going individual, this sharp track should suit and he could win a handicap or two this season, once learning to relax a little more through his races. He remains full of potential and hails from the in-form stable of Nigel Twiston-Davies,whosaddledfivewinners between Wednesday and Saturday last week.

The card concludes with a conditional jockeys’ contest over an extended 3m, which looks to be a thoroughly competitiveaffair.

Total prize fund £9200

Owners Prize Money. 1st £3716, 2nd £1857, 3rd £929, 4th £465, 5th £232. (Penalty Value £4858.52) Weights lowered 2lb.

SWAPPED was predictably hit hard by the handicapper following his facile victory on debut for new connections here last month, going up 11lb. However, he barely broke sweat that day and probably has enough in the locker to complete the four-timer Tango Echo Charlie made a winning start in this sphere at Fontwell and rates the main danger ahead of No Regrets

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): M Keighley (23 wins from 138 runners, 17%) runs REDBRIDGE RAMBLER TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): A Watson (6 wins from 40 runners, 15%) runs THRONE HALL LONGEST TRAVELLER: SHE’S A ROCCA trained by N Richards, Greystoke, 160 miles.

HEROSS DU SEUIL bounced back to capitalise on a lenient mark at Uttoxeter and has plenty of handicapping scope based on past efforts, so he’s preferred to the lightly-raced Dom Perry, who could return to form after a break. Throne Hall is another one to consider.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ITHAKA trained by R Potter, Sellack, 147 miles.

SERGEANT WILSON is undoubtedly a quirky customer, but he looked the likely winner for much of the race only to be reeled in on the line in a Doncaster handicap in March and makes plenty of appeal on his return with his yard amongst the winners Polyphonic is a consistent sort who could take his form up to a new level having joined the upwardly-mobile stable of James Owen, with Ithaka another to keep a close eye on in the betting
