Race Description
This is a two miles and seven furlongs handicap steeple chase for five-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 105. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 7lb.

PLAY SMARTER
Plenty are in with a shout. QUEEN OF THE COURT shaped with some encouragement on her recent chasing bow when fourth here and can race off a 5lb lower mark now so this winning pointer gets the nod. Oliver Sherwood’s points runner-up Feodora is well worth considering on her chasing bow with course scorer Young O’Leary another to consider in an open handicap.
