2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse.

3. Timeform view and TFR rating 4. HORSE’S TRAINER & THEIR LOCATION Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race.

PLAY SMARTER

SABRINA hails from a stable in red-hot form and suggested she’d be winning more races in the not-too-distant future when runner-up at Newton Abbot on her reappearance 3 weeks ago. The unbeaten Lady Adare remains with potential, while a 7lb rise for Chepstow shouldn’t prevent Rose of Arcadia making another bold bid.

PLAY SMARTER

MCFABULOUS is the only one of these without chasing experience but has looked the type to thrive over fences for a while and it would be no surprise to see him make a successful start. Sebastopol sets the standard and is selected for the forecast.

PLAY SMARTER

FRODON had an official rating of 167 after winning a Down Royal Grade 1 on his reappearance last season. His three subsequent runs were underwhelming but he could just be a notch above this opposition if bouncing back to anywhere his best after a breathing operation. Lord Accord was an easy winner at Cheltenham last month and is feared most ahead of last year’s runner-up Potterman.

DE BARLEY BASKET was still going strongly when unseating 4 out at Market Rasen last time but had jumped well up to that point and is fancied to resume winning ways and continue his excellent start to life over fences. Jony Max didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Cheltenham so this course winner rates a big threat, with in-form Fairway Freddy another who needs factoring in.

PLAY SMARTER

KICK UP A STORM makes plenty of appeal on paper and represents a top stable, so he could be the way to go without the benefit of market clues. Of those with previous experience, Six And Out rates the chief threat having been beaten by a subsequent winner on debut at Ludlow in the spring. Whynotnowroy, Borderline and Not Long Left are others worth monitoring.

IMPORTANT NOTICES Abandoned Racing

Emergency Evacuation

In the event of abandonment before the conclusion of the first race, racegoers will receive a full refund. If racing is abandoned between the first and third races, 50% will be refunded. Thereafter no refunds will be made. Applications must be made in writing to the Racecourse Office within 14 days of the race meeting and must be accompanied by the paper admission ticket. No refunds will be available on the day of racing. If racing is abandoned prior to the raceday, or before gates open, all pre-booked tickets that have been paid for in advance will automatically be refunded in full.

Whilst we always endeavour to take appropriate steps to ensure your safety, comfort and enjoyment, an incident may occur which is beyond our control and it is, therefore, important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency. We employ Safety Officials whose job it is to ensure your safety. In the event of a situation which requires a partial or full evacuation of the Stands, announcements will be broadcast and the Officials will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your belongings with you and proceed out of the enclosure quickly and quietly under their guidance. The evacuation procedures have been carefully planned to lead you to a safe area. It may give you peace of mind if you pre-plan and agree a meeting place with your party, just in case you become separated. If we are unable to re-occupy the Stands for any reason, you will be advised immediately, and, if it is considered safe to do so, you will be invited to return to your car or coach. These are precautionary arrangements which we trust will not be required. However, in the event of an emergency please remember; Take your belongings with you and under direction of the officials proceed quickly and quietly to the safe area then to your agreed rendezvous point or to your car or coach.

Racehorse & Jockey Welfare

Photography

The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority. The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation. The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards. In addition Wincanton Racecourse employs three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse. In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team.

Qualified paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey. If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.

Racegoers may take photographs for private use within the areas normally open to the public. Flash photography is not permitted.

Prize Money The Horserace Betting Levy Board prize fund schemes provide for the estimated inclusion of £772,031 at this racecourse in 2022.
