Timeform Rating
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS
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.

BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE
CITY SELECTIONS BOLD STYLE hit the woodwork on his racecourse debut and natural progression might be enough to see Charlie Appleby’s colt come home in front. Hutchence attracted market support at Newmarket last month but was perhaps unsuited by the testing conditions. The son of Frankel could well fare better here, while Space Legend, Mimasusa and Ville Natale are all interesting newcomers.

CITY SELECTIONS A lofty weight proved to be no problem for ALFRED when taking his record on the all-weather to 2-3 at Wolverhampton three weeks ago and a subsequent 9lb hike might not be enough to stop George Boughey’s progressive gelding. Habrdi (winner) is now 8lb worse off with Gaiden (second) for their recent clash, but the son of Calyx is expected to confirm that form. Handicap debutant Sun God is no back number, nor is C&D winner Monks Mead. ALFRED

Stewards Note: GAIDEN: Following its run on 23/11/2023 it was reported that the horse hung left handed. Probable S.P’s: 2-1 Alfred (FR), Habrdi (IRE), 9-2 Monks Mead (GB), 13-2 Gaiden (IRE), 14-1 Sun God (GB) A really interesting nursery despite the small-field, with ALFRED fancied to complete the hat-trick at the chief expense of the similarly-thriving Habrdi, the pair both impressive winners on their previous outings. Gaiden did well under the circumstances when runner-up PLAY SMARTER at Wolverhampton last time and makes most appeal of the remainder in a contest where all 5 hold claims.

CITY SELECTIONS LORD NORMANDY shaped with promise over 1m here on his racecourse bow. The son of Le Havre ought to appreciate a step up in trip and, from his low draw, might be worth siding with. Claxton Bay has been running with credit in handicap company of late and he merits consideration, along with the consistent Prometeo, who could improve for the application of first-time cheekpieces.

PENZANCE opened his account for Mick Appleby in taking fashion over C&D a week ago and, if he handles the quick turnaround, he should be able to follow up.

CITY SELECTIONS Narrowly denied on his last two starts, MR TRICK deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion. The five-year-old has dropped 4lb below his last winning mark and he gets the vote ahead of the likes of Headingley and Cavalluccio, who was a determined winner over C&D on his penultimate outing. Coolree and Nikki’s Girl are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
