RACE DESCRIPTION This is a three miles and 45 yards handicap steeple chase for five-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
Not a strong race by any means so IF NOT FOR DYLAN’s recent winning form may count for plenty.
