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.

Site Map

This map will help you navigate the racecourse. We hope you have an enjoyable experience, taking in the thrilling racing and excellent hospitality. There are betting facilities located in the lobby area, which connects the Fairwood Brasserie and Sports Bar.

CITY SELECTIONS

RABINAL arrives here on the back of two victories at Lingfield and a 5lb penalty for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to stop him. That said, Blue Yonder has a similar profile to the selection and Archie Watson’s new recruit should not be underestimated. Airshow is more than capable of going well off his current mark, while Conquest Of Power is another to note.

PLASTIC PADDY overcame a pace bias to score at Kempton last week so has obvious claims off the same mark with a top amateur booked. Conquest of Power was ridden too aggressively here recently so is worth another chance, with hat-trick-seeking Rabinal also respected.

CITY SELECTIONS

VICARIO left her debut effort a long way behind when filling second place over this distance at Newmarket in October and Ed Walker’s filly could be very hard to beat if finding further progression. Radiant Beauty is arguably the most eyecatching of the newcomers, being out of a Listed winner who has already produced a filly who has struck over 7f and a mile. Sudaf is also from a very successful family and merits respect.

SHALLOW confirmed her debut promise when getting off the mark over C&D last month and that form suggests that an opening mark of 70 may underestimate this filly Thunder Flow put in a career best when second on his handicap bow at Wolverhampton and it would be no surprise to see him in the mix once again. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but Magic Fluke is the pick of them.

THUNDER FLOW showed big improvement when runner-up on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, possibly unlucky not to win having been badly hampered, and can go one better at the main expense of C&D maiden winner Shallow, who should have more to offer now handicapping.

PLAY SMARTER

If MICK’S SPIRIT pings the stalls as he has at Lingfield the last twice he’ll likely take a bit of pegging back again. Parisiac could be sharper with a recent run here under his belt and is second choice. Stuart Williams pair Conquistador and Chasseral are also interesting, particularly if the betting speaks for them.

CITY SELECTIONS

KITTY FOYLE showed a great deal of improvement on her second start for the Jack Jones yard when finishing more than four lengths clear of the third over 1m4f at Wolverhampton. The daughter of Teofilo has been put up 2lb for that effort, which is unlikely to stop her from going one better, despite the drop in trip. The main threat might be Platinum Jubilee, who was beaten a neck over C&D and should remain competitive off 1lb higher Loughville warrants a market check on her return.

In pulling clear of the rest at Wolverhampton last time KITTY FOYLE showed enough to think she’s a winner in waiting for new trainer Jack Jones. Loughville was a good second on last year’s reappearance and is a potentially dangerous opponent back from wind surgery, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Platinum Jubilee is also respected after her latest C&D second.

CITY SELECTIONS

ECCENTRIC finished a long way clear of the third when just denied at Wolverhampton last weekend, and he goes off an unchanged mark. Jamie Osborne’s gelding looks well placed to shed his maiden tag at the 10th time of asking. Profitman, who produced the best effort of his career so far to finish third over 7f at Wolverhampton, also has to be considered off the same rating. Of the remainder, Lightning Bay makes the most appeal in a first-time visor

PLAY SMARTER

ECCENTRIC showed much-improved form under an aggressive ride when only edged out late on at Wolverhampton 5 days ago and a repeat here gives Jamie Osborne’s 3-y-o sound claims of going one place better from the same mark. Profitman is another to consider, whilst Niloufar demands a market check on handicap debut from a basement mark.
