On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage.

The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.

It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary.

Star Ratings Explained
Each horse is given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race HHHHI Good chance of being placed HHHII By no means without a chance
HHIII At least one or two hold stronger claims HIIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope IIIII Can be given little or no chance
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED 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.

In keeping with several James Fanshawe juveniles this season, TREDEGAR SQUARE was well prepared to make a winning debut at Kempton a month ago and his follow-up claims under a penalty appear to be bright. Find Your Fire has work to do with the selection on that clash but he was hampered and he too is open to progress, with Marhaba Ya Tayib and Birkett Bank likely-looking newcomers on paper.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): D M Loughnane (81 wins from 757 runners, 11%) runs STIPULATION TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): C Hills (4 wins from 15 runners, 27%) runs BALOO’S BLUES WEIGHTWATCHER: EAGLE DAY won off a handicap mark of 75, his rating is now down 12lb to 63. LONGEST TRAVELLER: MAGIC RUNNER trained by R Carr, Stillington, 134 miles. RACE SUMMARY
STIPULATION won this race last year off a similar mark so could be worth chancing having shaped well at Chepstow last time. Ballybunion is a likely danger if seeing out this longer trip, while Have You A Minute is also shortlisted after his encouraging second at Southwell.

SAXOPHONIC has unquestionably been a flop considering his pedigree and price tag, but left the impression a step up to 1 3/4m may prove beneficial at Ffos Las on his most recent outing and could be up to opening his account from a basement mark. Dinah Myte is unpenalised for last week’s Leicester win so is an obvious threat if staying the longer trip, while Le Rouge Chinois has been placed on all 3 starts for his current yard and can continue in form. 1-2-3: 1.SAXOPHONIC 2.DINAH MYTE 3.LE ROUGE CHINOIS (DEN) KEY colours
