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.
You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this, your bet will not be accepted 6

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): M Loughnane (79 wins from 738 runners, 11%) runs YEHUDI TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): S England (2 wins from 21 runners, 10%) runs ASIAN JOURNEY WEIGHTWATCHER: FOOLS RUSH IN won off a handicap mark of 68, his rating is now down 7lb to 61. LONGEST TRAVELLER: SANT ALESSIO trained by J Tickle, Tiverton, 146 miles. RACE SUMMARY
BATTLE STANDARD proved a different proposition switched to a handicap for the first time when bolting up at Southwell 8 days ago and escaping a penalty for that, he looks to hold serious claims again with the prospect of more to come. Palliser similarly improved a chunk on his first start in a handicap when second over C&D recently and he’s feared. Ballybunion may well complete a clean sweep for the 3-y-os. Yehudi may emerge best of the rest.

Not for the first time of late, ERNIE’S VALENTINE shaped really well when posting a very good third at Southwell 2 weeks ago, travelling smoothly before paying the price for a big move into contention. Evidently down to a handy mark, he’s selected to end a losing run. Tommo’s Ginjaninja ran right up to his best when second at Redcar recently and he’s a threat. Baloo’s Blues and Typeface complete the shortlist.

INTERVENTION ran his best race for some time and looked unlucky not to finish closer in the process when third at Beverley 2 starts ago and, with his latest Ripon run best overlooked, Mick Appleby’s 3-time C&D winner is too well handicapped to ignore back on all-weather. Methgal has been a model of consistency since joining Dylan Cunha and is an obvious threat. Willolarupi and Cayman Tai are others to consider.

JODHPUR BLUE has managed only one career victory but is a much more solid proposition on all-weather and took a step in the right direction at Southwell in first-time cheekpieces 8 days ago, so looks the pick in this lowly contest. Three-time course winner R P Mcmurphy produced a rare below-par effort last time but will be a threat if bouncing back and seeing out the longer trip, while Freddy Robinson can continue his consistent spell.

SELLING RACE PROCEDURES The settlement process for successful bids in selling races has now been updated. Payments for winning bids are processed through the Weatherbys Claim Line within ten minutes of the racecourse auction concluding. After the auction, the auctioneer or racecourse representative will confirm the winning bid amount. The successful bidder must then make payment using a credit or debit card. If the payment cannot be completed in full, the racecourse will annul the sale, and the horse will remain the property of its original owner. This updated process does not apply when the successful bidder is a licensed trainer, or when the horse is bought in by its current owners. No Claims will be accepted on the racecourse. No additional period is allowed for Friendly Claims. Registered Owners, Licensed and Permitted trainers may claim by telephone, to Weatherbys on 01933 303080. Such claims must be made within 15 minutes of the start of the race. A BHA Security Code is required (to apply, contact Weatherbys on 01933 440077). No premium will be payable in the event of unopposed Friendly Claims. 19

Hilltop is a reliable sort who was denied a clear run when second here last time and could well get involved despite a tough draw, whilst Velvet Rhythm is also respected given she’s unexposed on all-weather.

BETTING DISPUTES & QUERIES Customers requiring the services of the Betting Ring Manager today should speak to a member of the Racecourse staff for assistance.
Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. 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. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.

SAXOPHONIST has been knocking firmly on the door for a while now and seemed well suited by the step up to this trip last time so he’s a pretty strong fancy here assuming the run of the race doesn’t go too much against him. Mountbatten is the main danger if that situation unfolds and he could prove hard to peg back, while Arouse is still learning and will do better at some stage. 1-2-3: 1.SAXOPHONIST (IRE) 2.MOUNTBATTEN (GER) 3.AROUSE (IRE) KEY colours
