Race Description
This is a two miles and half a furlong handicap hurdle race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 100. 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 lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 0 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 100.

TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful bumper winner who has proved rather expensive to follow over hurdles. Back to form when fourth at Southwell 9 days ago, and may well build on that if her jumping holds up. TFRHHHHI BHA100

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair maiden hurdler who produced his best effort on form when second over C&D 43 days ago, albeit not finding a great deal for pressure. Paddy Brennan is likely to have a positive effect on him. TFRHHHHI BHA99

TIMEFORM VIEW Progressive mare who tanked round and easily went clear when completing a double at Leicester a week ago. Type to do better still, so should land the hat-trick if the race doesn’t come too soon. TFRHHHHH BHA87 (+14)
