HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4)

Race Description This is a six furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 61 to 80. 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.

SHOWTIME MAHOMES is handicapped to win on his strong early-season 3-y-o form, and having gone down by just a length to Bay Breeze at Ripon on return just over a fortnight ago, Grant Tuer’s charge gets the vote to reverse placings with that outing under his belt. Maple Jack made a winning reappearance over C&D 2 weeks ago and he can fight out minor honours with As If By Chance.

Race Description This is a five furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 71 to 90. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them.This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap In simple terms a horse rated 80 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 75.

BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

Race Description This is a one mile handicap race for four-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 6lb

PLAY SMARTER

A competitive renewal of a valuable event. BILLYB is a likeable type who was steadily progressive last year and there’s every chance he could still have more to offer this season, which marks him down as a more interesting contender than most. Northern Express fared best of those held up on his reappearance at Musselburgh and must enter calculations, along with Pisanello, who was a good third in this race 12 months ago and has a commendable record fresh.

HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 5)

Race Description This is a one mile and six furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 51 to 70. Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight in this race 8st 4lb and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage

PLAY SMARTER

AUGUSTE RODIN did everything right at 2 and can become the fourth horse (and third from his yard) since 2018 to complete the Futurity/2000 Guineas double. His stablemate Little Big Bear is bred to stay 1m and would be a major threat if reproducing anything close to his Phoenix Stakes form. Chaldean suffered an unfortunate experience on his reappearance but his juvenile form stacks up well and he can prove best of the home team ahead of Sakheer, who is already smart but isn’t certain to stay 1m.
