FORM ANALYSIS - A CLOSER LOOK | FACTS | FANCIES | FORM | STATS | Leading course trainer (17-22): M Hammond (21 wins from 288 runners, 7%) runs AMBER RUN and THE VERY THING Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): C Williams (4 wins from 15 runners, 27%) runs MOTOWN LAKE Longest Traveller: MOTOWN LAKE trained by C Williams, Bridgend, 245 miles. RACE DESCRIPTION This is a three miles and 45 yards handicap steeple chase for five-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 100. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 7lb.
