THE VISIT attheraces.com/marketmovers MARES’ HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 4) (Qualifier for the Hereford Mares’ Handicap Chase Series) Total race value £8000 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £2754, 2nd £1377, 3rd £688, 4th £345, 5th £280, 6th £280. (Penalty Value £3594.36) Weights raised 1lb and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (16-21): P Bowen (18 wins from 103 runners, 17%) runs ALFA DAWN TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D J Jeffreys (1 win from 4 runners, 25%) runs CAVICIANA LONGEST TRAVELLERS: ALFA DAWN trained by P Bowen & KIERA ROYALE trained by D Rees - both Haverfordwest, 176 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

Though winless following 9 attempts over hurdles, CAVICIANA made a promising start to this new vocation when third here in June, and with the prospect of better to come from her as a chaser, she earns the vote. Kiera Royale possesses plenty of experience in this sphere, but if point-winners Makety and Sopat take to fences at the first attempt they may well emerge as the main dangers.

Star Ratings Explained Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

HIIII 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 nonhandicaps 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.

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

RACE SUMMARY

OSCAR ROSE has really improved her strike rate in the last year or so and though a 7lb rise for her easy Kempton win demands a career beat, she could easily be up to the job. Your Band and Cotton End are likely to remain competitive at this level and head the opposition.

RACE SUMMARY

SEINESATIONAL is proving expensive to follow over hurdles but he’s perhaps worth one more chance back down in trip based on his Market Rasen form in May. London Eye is an interesting recruit from the Flat, while Renardeau can surely improve on his opening effort in this sphere.

RACE SUMMARY

This should be run at a decent clip and BUCKS DREAM may well be the answer if hurdling with greater fluency than at Hexham last time. He was second to an upwardly mobile rival off this mark on his handicap debut in May and a reproduction of that effort would give him every chance. Kilchreest Moon continued his good run of form when runner-up over C&D last time and is feared most ahead of Bagan.

RACE SUMMARY GOLD LEADER returned from a break with a more encouraging effort when fourth on handicap debut at Southwell last time and, with fitness now assured, she could take another step forward to open her account in a race that lacks depth. Present Storm is a danger if she can return to the form she showed on her penultimate start, while Frankie Baby should make his presence felt if he’s in the mood.
