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.

CITY SELECTIONS

Given he has placed twice over this trip, holds experience on Polytrack and is the only runner with an official rating, JUNGLE MAC ticks all the right boxes and has a golden opportunity to break his maiden. Liege, a potential improver with a first-time hood tried on his debut for the Simon Hodgson yard, is feared more than Red Hot Rose and Takeityouremine, who both need a significant step forward to trouble the selection.

JUNGLE MAC possesses by far the best form on offer so Jack Channon’s son of Bungle Inthejungle is taken to gain a deserved breakthrough success after three good placed efforts. Liege could emerge as the one to chase him home ahead of Red Hot Rose.

CITY SELECTIONS

BACK TOMORROW (second) gave away more ground than she was beaten by when finishing two lengths behind Sixties Chic (winner) at Wolverhampton eight days ago and, assuming she breaks a little better, a 6lb pull gives her a live chance of turning the form around. Gogo Yubari impressed when winning over 5f at Lingfield on her penultimate start and can also figure if returning to 6f doesn’t stretch her stamina.

BACK TOMORROW has a good chance of reversing recent Wolverhampton placings with Sixties Chic, given that she meets that rival on 6lb better terms for a two-length beating. Richard Spencer’s charge is taken to come out on top this time and while Sixties Chic is by no means discounted, a bigger threat here could be posed by Gogo Yubari.

CITY SELECTIONS

Billyjoh ought to be popular after a string of solid efforts but needs another personal best after a 5lb rise for last week’s Southwell success puts him on a career-highest mark. With that in mind,

CLIPSHAM LA HABANA looks worth chancing off 4lb lower than his peak rating in handicaps so far, with the in-form Billy Loughnane an eye-catching jockey booking. King Cabo are others fancied to go well.

CITY SELECTIONS

This can go the way of NIGHT OF DESIRE, who showed plenty of promise on her debut at Wolverhampton as she went well for a long way over further before weakening late on. The drop in trip should suit and she gets the vote ahead of the well-bred Little Rose and newcomer Covehithe, who is a half-sister to Benacre, a talented two-year-old for the stable.

NIGHT OF DESIRE shaped well when a debut fourth at Wolverhampton and looks the way to go with improvement very much on the cards from Marco Botti’s daughter of Night of Thunder Charlie Johnston’s Magna Grecia debutante Covehithe appeals on paper and could prove the main danger, although both Little Rose and Dame Darcey offer some potential too.

LOVE DE VEGA has held his form well in recent months and could be the answer returned to the scene of his latest success in January when proving 1/2-length too good for the re-opposing Ultramarine, a rival he actually now meets on 5lb better terms. The latter hit the target at Kempton three weeks ago and should be in the mix once more but Letmelivemylife, who was fourth in that handicap, may well reverse those placings back at a course where he has a good record.

H KEY LAILS arrives here on the back of two narrow second-placed finishes over C&D earlier in the month and, off just a 1lb higher mark, the four-year-old could return to winning ways here That said, Split Elevens was not far behind the selection last time and he should not be discounted, while Edmund Ironside and Further Measure also merit places on the shortlist.
