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.

Rift Valley and Sixteen One may emerge as the main dangers.

2023: NO CORRESPONDING RACE LAST YEAR
Stewards Note: SON OF ASTAR: Following its run on 29/6/2024 it was reported that the horse hung left-handed.
ROYSDELIGHT: Following its run on 23/6/2024 it was reported that the horse ran too freely.
Probable
S.P’s: 7-2 Emporess (IRE), 9-2 Tees Aggregates (IRE), 11-2 She Went Whoosh (IRE), 6-1 River Blackwater (GB), 7-1 Stat Goddess (IRE), 15-2 Cheerleader (GB), 18-1 Roysdelight (IRE), 22-1 Son of Astar (GB)
Having shown a fair level of ability in her three qualifying runs, EMPORESS is appealing here off what could turn out to be a very fair opening mark. She Went Whoosh may yet build on the promise of her debut second at Ripon and she is nominated as the main danger, narrowly ahead of Tees Aggregates, while improvement could also be on the way from River Blackwater.
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.

PLAY SMARTER
YOUARENOTFORGIVEN scored at Newbury from a mark 4lb higher last summer and Tony Carroll’s gelding looked back in form when third at Pontefract earlier in the month, so gets the verdict over Makeen, who may well have made the podium granted a clear run at Hamilton last time Valkyrian has been seen to advantage when winning her last 2 starts, and though another 3lb rise asks for more, she has to be respected given the form she arrives in.

It’s very difficult to look beyond TEN POUNDS, who shaped well on debut in a good Newbury novice in May prior to landing the odds with minimum fuss at Newcastle He appeals as the type who will go on improving and looks destined for bigger and better things Newcomers Cables Queen and Calanthe can fill the places
