Anniversary Handicap (Class 5
THE DM HALL 125TH ANNIVERSARY HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5)
RACE DESCRIPTION
This is a six furlong handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 51 to 70. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 65 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 60.

Chief threats are Stallone, who ran well at Pontefract last week, and course regular Quanah. 1-2-3: 1.LADY CELIA 2.STALLONE (IRE) 3.QUANAH (IRE) FOR THREE YRS OLD AND UPWARDS NUMBER OF DECLARED RUNNERS 11
