A guide to the horse’s recent form
RATING EXPLAINED
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: Selected to win the race
Good chance of being placed.
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 RATING
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.

MEMORIAL HANDICAP STAKES
MEMORIAL NOVICE STAKES
Nerys,who held atraining licence for just short of 30 years, had many successes at Salisburyfrom her base near Seaton in Devon. Herhusband, Simon, was also agreat supporterofthe racecourse through his regular Axminster Carpets race sponsorships and by having an annual box for several years. They both sadly died within afew months of each other in 2016.
Simon and Nerys were regular visitors to the course, and during her peak period of training, seldom did arace meeting pass by without Nerys having arunner They were ahugely popular and generous couple, and are greatly missed. The family now sponsor arace at Salisbury in their memory every year.It provides agreat opportunity for their children, (there are eight of them!) and grandchildren to get together.
The Dutfield’s eldest son, Harry said: “They both loved Salisbury,asitwas alocal track, which always has agreat ambiance. One of Dad’s favourite moments was when his old stalwart, Royal Axminster,finally brokehis maiden at the grand age of 8, under the yard’s amateur Anna Wallace. Mum had great affectionfor the mercurial Aoninch, who raced at Salisbury fourteen times and finally scored in August 2005, having been placed on her five previousvisits to the track. They had many great days at Salisbury and it is afitting tribute to have arace named in their memory”.

Race Summary: JASOUR ran poorly on his final start last season but has since had a breathing operation and, having run out a ready winner of the Pavillion Stakes at Ascot on his 2024 reappearance, there’s every reason to believe he can bounce back with a bang. Jarraaf progressed well in 2024 and should continue on an upward trajectory this year Zoum Zoum is another who can make his presence felt if returning to form on his seasonal debut.

Race Summary: A case can be made for most of these but Eve Johnson Houghton’s ROBUSTO figures on a good mark back on turf after a good recent Southwell second so gets the nod over Wannabe Brave who didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when third at Chelmsford City last time. Fair Dinkum, Tryfan and Marioento all need factoring into this competitive handicap too.
