★★★✩✩ By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
★★✩✩✩ Unlikely to win but not totally without hope
★✩✩✩✩ Can be given little or no chance
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.
Our easy guide to getting the most from your racecard. Our new racecard key identifies the main runner and rider elements: You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet. If you cannot produce this, your bet will not be accepted.
Pioneering equine vision research showed the clarity of jumps could be improved by changing markers from orange to white. So that’s what we did. horsepwr.co.uk

PLAY SMARTER
Though TIGHTLY BOUND has failed to build on her debut effort in two subsequent starts, she is given another chance to do so now pitched into a handicap off what could turn out to be a very fair opening mark. Just Adair arrives here in good order and he should give another good account, while Fiddlers Green and Fen Tiger are other to consider

Stewards Note: BIG HARRY: Following its run on 1/6/2025 it was reported that the horse ran green.
MARCELLINUS: Following its run on 23/6/2025 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe LADY V: Following its run on 20/10/2025 it was reported that the horse was slow away.
Probable S.P’s: 5-2 Beccadelli (GB), 3-1 Crown Office (GB), 6-1 Marcellinus (GB), 13-2 Big Harry (GB), 7-1 Langstone (GB), 20-1 Rogue Icon (IRE), 50-1 Nana’s Boy George (IRE), 66-1 Missile Kode (IRE), 80-1 Irish Fusilier (IRE), 100-1 Fallacious Promise (GB), 200-1 Lady V (IRE)
The form of the Chelmsford maiden in which BIG HARRY was an encouraging third in June hasn’t worked out at all badly (the winner recently finished second in a Group 1) and he shades preference ahead of the similarly promising Marcellinus Godolphin’s Beccadelli and Crown Office are strong candidates, while confidence behind newcomer Langstone would look significant.

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
