One of better recent efforts when second of 5 in handicap chase at Wincanton (25f, good, 15/2) in April though, and looks well treated at present.

Ana Sofia Dias Trindade & Tim Lane TIMEFORM VIEW Landed back-to-back handicap hurdles at Market Rasen and Southwell (both at around 20.5f) in November.

Disappointed last 2 starts, in first-time cheekpieces latest. The headgear is quickly discarded but he’s an interesting chasing debutant back up in trip.

Denmark Sponsor: Leaflet Company Ltd Trainer: Venetia Williams, Hereford Breeder: Noel O’Brien TIMEFORM VIEW Shaped like a stayer in bumpers and relished the step up in trip when making a successful hurdles debut on final start for Willie Mullins at Tramore (21.8f, good to soft) in May 2025. Has shown little on both starts for this yard and is hard to make a case for on handicap chase debut.

Landed his third success of last season in 7-runner handicap chase over C&D (33/1, good) 18 days ago from 10 Ib out of the weights.

Race Summary: LAW OF SUPPLY hasn’t been the most reliable of late but may be worth chancing from his reduced mark on the back of a good second at Wincanton 6 weeks ago. Hall Lane has PLAY SMARTER found his feet quickly for his new yard though may have to settle for more minor money, while Nazare is an interesting chasing debutant from a respected stable.

All 3 of Zucayan’s wins have been over C&D and PLAY SMARTER having won this race last year, he’s put forward as the main danger on reappearance. Lord Cauvelliere has shown precious little so far over hurdles, but the switch to a handicap may well see him in a better light.

Dual course winner Regal Renaissance ran well when second at Stratford 6 weeks ago and comfortably rates the chief threat.

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-handicap 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.

For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.
