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.

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

CITY SELECTIONS CERVETTO is ofﬁcially 4lb well-in having won on his handicap bow at Lingﬁeld six days ago, so the unexposed son of Zoffany looks well placed to double his tally providing this race doesn’t come too soon. Conquest Of Power ought to give another good account of himself having scored over C&D a fortnight ago, while Chola Empire, who continues to fall down the ratings, should not be underestimated.

CERVETTO took a marked step forward when making a successful start to handicapping at Lingﬁeld last time and had plenty to spare, so he should follow up if the race doesn’t come PLAY SMARTER too soon.

CITY SELECTIONS Gaiden sets the standard with an official rating of 80 and, though she merits the utmost respect, ROSY AFFAIR is fancied to improve on her Lingfield debut effort, where she finished second, and get off the mark. Blue Point filly Moonfire weakened late on over 7f last time out, so the drop to 6f should see her in a better light. Miss Bodacious shaped with promise on her racecourse bow and is another to consider. ROSY AFFAIR

CITY SELECTIONS ADMIRABLE LAD justiﬁed strong market support when winning in handicap company at Kempton last month, so Chelsea Banham’s gelding could take all of the beating eased in class. That said, Viewfromthestars holds every chance on these terms, and he appeals as a leading candidate having been narrowly denied over track and trip three weeks ago. Monsieur Fantaisie continues to run well in defeat and is noted along with the Michael Attwater-trained Bear To Dream. ADMIRABLE LAD
