Race Description

This is a one mile and four furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 55 This race is for female Amateur jockeys only which means these are not professional jockeys In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than a lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.

PLAY SMARTER

SAMEEM’s losing run tempers enthusiasm but he’s tumbled in the weights and, having shaped as if he’d come on a good deal for his comeback over shorter here 32 days ago, he could just be worth chancing with the cheekpieces refitted. Her Way hinted at a revival at Thirsk recently and along with Valley of Flowers, heads up the dangers.
