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.

RIBKANA ran as well as she ever has when runner-up at Ripon 17 days ago and a reproduction of that form could be enough to see her shed her maiden status First Encounter will pose a threat if able to bounce back from a poor showing at Wetherby last month, with Walk The Moon likely to remain competitive from his current mark.

The former was well held on his turf/ handicap debut at Newmarket on his most recent outing, but he posted a good second in a race that’s worked out well at Kempton on his reappearance and is well worth another chance back in appreciably calmer waters

PLAY SMARTER
CONNIE’S ROSE shaped as if still in good form at Chepstow 19 days ago and gets the nod to notch a second win of the year Etoile d’Alexandre needs to get back on track but it’s worth remembering the promise she showed on her York debut now setting out for George Boughey and strong market support would look significant. Canaria Queen did best of those held up on her most recent outing at Ripon and merits consideration, also

KALAMA SUNRISE completed a quick-fire hat-trick with plenty up her sleeve at Ffos Las 2 weeks ago so could still be ahead of her mark despite a 7lb rise. Cobh Harbour took a step back in the right direction at Bath so rates the main threat ahead of the consistent Charlatan.

Horse Welfare at Leicester Racecourse
At every meeting at Leicester Racecourse there are two specially-qualified equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action. During the race one vet will be following the runners and can attend to a horse in the same response time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating injured jockeys The second vet is based below the stewards box in the grandstand, is in radio contact with his colleague following the runners, and can respond immediately to any uncovered emergency. In addition there is a third vet, a British Horseracing Authority Veterinary team and the stewards.
The Racecourse also employs a specialist Horse Ambulance Team, equipped with a modern equine ambulance to enable injured horses to be transported safely to a veterinary hospital for treatment. It is now standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the course This does not reflect on the severity of an injury, but allows the vet some privacy in which to administer treatment and provides the horse with a calm environment in which to make a recovery. Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse
If you have concerns about the integrity of British racing or the wellbeing of the sport’s participants, human or equine, please contact RaceWISE. Anonymous reporting. Call 08000 852 580 (free 24 hours a day) Visit britishhorseracing.com/RaceWISE
