Race Description This is a two miles, six furlongs and 31 yards handicap hurdle race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 120. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170.

Race Description This is a two miles, six furlongs and 31 yards handicap hurdle race for novices aged four-years-old and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 95. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap In simple terms a horse rated 95 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 90.

The winner of the previous two renewals, FIVEONEFIVE looks to have been campaigned with this race in mind once again and with cheekpieces refitted, he can complete the hat-trick. The progressive D Day Arvalenreeva was impressive when readily landing a hat-trick over C&D last month. That form is working out and she’s feared most ahead of Come On The Lads representing the powerful Gavin Cromwell yard. Hurricane Ali deserves an honourable mention from his falling handicap mark.

BRITISH BONUS SCHEME
for five yrs old and upwards ¨ Total prize fund £6150 Owners Prize Money. 1st £2484, 2nd £1242, 3rd £621, 4th £311, 5th £155. (Penalty Value £3247.81) 6 Eliminated Under Rules (I)9 and (I)10.
Race Description This is a three miles, one furlong and 107 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.

PRIZE MONEY
The Horserace Betting Levy Board prize fund schemes provide for the estimated inclusion of £179,945 in ratecard and incremental prize money at this racecourse from 23rd June to 14th September 2025
Our final race today is named after Bob Champion CBE, a legend of our sport. We are honoured that Bob is here today.
His incredible story of courage and endurance has been an inspiration to many both on and off the racecourse. Bob was having a successful riding career when diagnosed with cancer in 1979 and was given 6 months to live. After chemotherapy, Bob beat the disease and returned to race riding, winning the Grand National on Aldiniti soon after in 1981. This emotional triumph earned the accolade of BBC Sports Personality of the Year Team award
His courage and determination to overcome adversity was highlighted in the film Champions, where the recoveries for both Bob and Aldiniti were brought to a wider audience. Bob wanted to use the fame generated to help others, and after his retirement formed the Bob Champion Cancer Trust. This has raised over £15m pounds for prostate and testicular cancer research. After first getting a MBE, Bob was appointed a CBE in 2021.
Many will know Bob for his racing legacy, but his after racecourse life has inspired and helped millions. Bob will be around the Parade Ring today for those who wish to meet him.

BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE
Race Description This two miles, one furlong and 61 yards handicap steeple chase has been designed for five-year-olds and upwards which are rated from 0 to 105. In most National Hunt handicaps, there is a minimum weight of 10st so any horse whose official rating would allocate them less than that still has to shoulder that burden The horses that fall into this category are said to be racing from ‘out of the handicap’ – usually a distinct disadvantage.

PLAY SMARTER
GREENROCK ABBEY (engaged to run here on Friday) has been resurgent in recent weeks for James Owen, putting it all together in a switch of headgear when running out an easy winner at Market Rasen 9 days ago. Remaining with plenty of handicapping scope on old form, he’s very much of interest again if turned out quickly. Pittsburg, Lermoos Legend and Jolyjump head up the dangers
