Race Description

This is a two miles and three furlongs handicap hurdle race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 110. 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 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170.

PLAY SMARTER

It’s likely the Paul Nicholls-trained FAME AND FUN has more to offer now handicapping so he could prove the answer to this big-field finale. Like so many from the Ben Pauling team Couldbeaweapon has had a good spell of late and he heads the dangers along with last year’s winner Karakoram. Ferdinand Star would also come into it if the betting vibes are strong on his first outing for the David Pipe yard.
