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.

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.
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 7

LONGEST TRAVELLER: HENFIELD trained by K Jewell, Sittingbourne, 184 miles. RACE SUMMARY
The draw could have been kinder to HENFIELD but she caught the eye with her strong finish at Lingfield last time and gets the nod ahead of Manton Road, another who shaped well from too far back on his latest start. It’s A Love Thing can also play a part if able to back up his latest Newcastle third. 1-2-3: 1.HENFIELD 2.MANTON ROAD 3.IT’S A LOVE THING KEY colours

ARABIAN SUMMER made her debut in quite a useful contest at Kempton a couple of years ago. It’s taken a long time to get her back but plenty from this stable have overcome long absences down the years and she gets the vote with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Battlefield Boy shaped with encouragement on his recent debut and is feared most ahead of Gold Star Gazing. The selection’s debuting stablemate Soft Landing needs monitoring in the betting.

DISTILLATION took his C&D form figures to 2121 when making all with ease last Monday and should be tough to beat under a 6lb-penalty.

RACE SUMMARY
George Boughey’s OXBRIDGE doesn’t have a high standard to aim at on debut and gets the vote, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong.
