Sponsor Form Comment
Timeform Rating
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
BAY CITY ROLLER justified favouritism when making a winning debut in a decent novice race at Sandown last month. George Scott’s colt should have no issues racing on Polytrack and he’s taken to defy a 7lb penalty. $155,000 debutant Via Con Me is a half-sister to Graded stakes-placed Cool Beans and any market support for the son of No Nay Never would be interesting, with fellow newcomer Rock D’oro making most appeal of the remainder

A few newcomers offer potential but BAY CITY ROLLER looked a good prospect when making a winning debut at Sandown and can defy a 7lb penalty. Rock d’Oro (second choice), Via Con Me and Mekhled all appeal on paper so could emerge as the main dangers to George Scott’s New Bay colt.

CITY SELECTIONS
Although unable to score on the turf on his last three outings, dual Tapeta winner MERESIDE MADNESS shouldn’t have any issues now racing on Polytrack. The application of first-time blinkers may eke out some improvement from the Buratino gelding and he’s taken to regain the winning thread. Gaiety Musical enters handicaps off a fair mark judged on her recent close-up third at this venue and she’s feared most, ahead of Laguna Boy

This may be dominated by 92-rated pair Dancing Magic and SKIPPER, with the latter’s unexposed profile edging him the vote. The three-year-old arrives on the back of a close-up second in maiden company at Southwell and he looks sure to pick up a race of this nature soon. The aforementioned Dancing Magic has some strong handicap form to his name this season and he isn’t taken lightly on his all-weather debut. Odin Legacy may chase the duo home.

Stewards Note: COTSWOLD COTTAGE: Following its run on 15/8/2024 it was reported that the jockey had trouble removing blindfold.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and SKIPPER, who boasts some strong form, looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to open his account on the back of his excellent Southwell second last time out. The Crisfords’ newcomer Buon Viaggio could emerge as the one to chase him home, especially if the market vibes are positive, ahead of Dancing Magic who also has the form to have a say if back on his A-game.

A winner at Salisbury last month, SNEAKY BLINDER made another determined bid back at the same track on his latest start and looks capable of scoring off his current mark on that evidence. Indian Romance produced her best effort so far when runner-up over course and distance and will likely be winning at this level sooner rather than later, while Hardman steps up in distance with a shout after finding only one too good over a mile at Redcar

SUNSET IN PARIS struggled at Newmarket last week, but John Jenkins’ six-year-old won a classified contest at Lingfield before that and another a bold bid is expected back at this level. Daphne May wasn’t far behind the selection at Lingfield, although she was partnered by a 7lb claimer on that occasion and reopposes on less favourable terms, while Trackman has been in the mix in classified races at Yarmouth recently and could feature again.
