HANDICAPS
Once a horse’s ability has been assessed by the Official BHA Handicapper it is given an official rating. This is an assessment that determines how much weight it shall carry compared to the other runners. In simple terms a horse rated 100 carries 2lbs less than a horse rated 102. A rating over 130 is well above average and the winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup is normally rated over 160 Most handicap races have an upper rating limit to encourage runners of similar ability to take part and make a competitive race e.g 0-110, and a 28lb weight-range
HURDLE RACES
One Fit Padded Hurdle: The ‘One Fit’ design is a modified hurdle frame with a custom fitting close-cell foam pad replacing the traditional birch. The hurdle was developed with the objective of reducing both the faller rate and the risk of injury as the result of a fall. They are 3ft high and placed in the ground at an attractive angle to encourage horses to jump them fluently
At Perth there are five flights of Hurdles on the course Eight are jumped in a two mile race, nine in a race over two miles and five furlongs and eleven in a race over three miles.
STEEPLE CHASE
Steeplechase fences are made from hardwood frames stuffed tightly with birch When making a fence the birch is packed in at a height of approximately 6ft, then cut down to a maximum height of 4ft 6”. There are five ‘plain fences’ on the course at Perth and two ‘open ditches’ An Open Ditch is the same height as a plain fence but has a small ditch in front of the fence to make them a bigger test for the horse and rider
At Perth there are two open ditches on the course, the first fence in the straight and the first down the back straight. Perth is one of the last remaining racecourses to have a Water Jump, this is situated in front of the main Grandstand and is much smaller than the other fences, with a 6ft wide water jump behind a small birch fence. There are eight steeplechase fences on the course Twelve are jumped in a race over two miles, fifteen over two miles and four furlongs and nineteen in races over three miles.
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:
HHHHH Selected to win the race
HHHHI Good chance of being placed.
HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims.
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope
HIIII Can be given little or no chance.
WEIGHT FOR AGE RACES
These races are designed to provide a fair and competitive contest before a horse is allocated a weight, according to his ability, to run in a Handicap These races are therefore normally for young horses aged from 3 to 5-y-o. As a 5-y-o is deemed to be stronger than a 3-y-o he/she will be made a to carry a little more weight. Once a horse has won a weight for age race he/she will be asked to carry a ‘penalty’; this is normally an additional 7lbs. Once a horse has won or run three times in a Weight for Age race he can be assessed and given a weight in a Handicap Race.

HORSE WELFARE
Racing’s top priority is the safety and welfare of horse and rider People join the racing industry because they share a genuine love for horses. Like most sports, racing carries risks, however, we work to ensure that no death or injury occurs which could have been prevented. Horses have the right to a decent and fulfilling life, both during their racing career and afterwards. We are committed to minimising risks, dealing quickly and humanely with injuries, and maintaining the highest possible quality of life for the animals in our care. It is now standard practice for screens to be erected round any horse receiving veterinary attention on the course This does not reflect the severity of the 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 therefore do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse

None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to KING ROLY who remains unexposed over fences and can bounce back in style after a good hurdling fourth at Uttoxeter. Gale Mahler wasn’t at her best in graded company at Galway last time but could emerge as the chief threat ahead of chasing newcomer Byron Hill and Irish raider Lightkeeper

PLAY SMARTER
Irish raider INVICTUS WORLD seems well suited by this trip and ground combination and is fancied to follow up last month’s C&D success Broughshane made the perfect start for the Bowen yard last time and could prove the biggest threat should new connections unlock further progress, with the in-form Spit Spot completing the shortlist.

Lots with chances but John McConnell’s BROKEN ICE rates the pick of the weights so is taken to gain an overdue success at the chief expense of in-form maiden Burgundy Man (second choice) and course scorer Larkfield Lusive. Dalileo, Aazza and Tees Comp’s Clive are others who need factoring into this competitive handicap

ROCK ON PEDRO made a near flawless start to life for the Olly Murphy yard at Worcester last time and can follow up despite returning to handicap company from out of the weights. His stablemate Vocito is most feared on the back of his Uttoxeter success, whilst Here Comes Georgie goes well here and would also merit plenty of respect if primed after a summer break.
