RACE DESCRIPTION This is a three miles handicap steeple chase for four-year-olds and upwards mares which have been rated from 0 to 120. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 110 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 105.

TIMEFORM VIEW Bagged a pair of novice hurdles at around 19.5f during the spring and all the sharper for a comeback run at Bangor when making a successful start over fences at Catterick (25f) last month. More to come form her over fences. The one to beat. Star RatingHHHHH BHA 117 3 GOOD LOOK CHARM (FR) (33) 1210-25

PLAY SMARTER There should be more to come from HEREWEGOHONEY over the larger obstacles and she can make light of a 1lb nudge for Catterick, perhaps at the main expense of Ben Case’s Gazette Bourgeoise.
