Welcome to our Ratings Hub service on attheraces.com, featuring Speed, Form and our unique FormPlus figures for Friday with selections for fourth and final day of the Cheltenham Festival, as well as Doncaster and Fakenham over jumps, Southwell and Wolverhampton on the Flat in Britain and Dundalk in Ireland.
Our new Ratings Hub service is exclusive to attheraces.com and gives visitors an instant insight into the key form and speed figures for every runner in every race in the UK and Ireland.
Our Ratings Table consists of four types of rating: Official, Speed, Form and Form Plus.
Official Ratings: The current British Horseracing Authority / Horse Racing Ireland official rating and last winning official rating (if applicable).
Speed: The best Speed Rating that each horse has achieved the last six runs/last 12 months (whichever is least time), adjusted for today’s weight, enabling users to compare individual runners and ratings.
Form: The best Form Rating that our handicappers consider each horse is capable of reproducing, adjusted for today’s weight, enabling users to compare individual runners and ratings.
Attributes: Our assessment of whether today’s variables are positives or negatives for each horse:
Scope: How much improvement is the horse open to, are they likely to need the run and how good is their current form?
Conditions: How well suited the horse might be to today’s distance, ground, course and (for flat races) draw?
Trainer: What form is the trainer in?
Jockey: What form is the jockey in?
Attitude: How much enthusiasm for racing does the horse appear to have?
FormPlus: Our ultimate rating takes into account the horse’s original Form rating and adjusts for today’s variables
Willie Mullins is likely to dominate this once again but it could be worth chancing one of the lesser fancied of his string at a decent price. KAI LUNG showed a willing attitude when landing a hot maiden from the front last time which has been boosted in the Fred Winter. The rating he achieved that day is only 5lb below the top rated here and he's open to plenty of improvement if settling. The breeding on his dam's side also suggests that this quicker ground won't be an issue.
JOYEUSE looks well handicapped on her emphatic victory in a competitive race last winter and her next start here which came at the top level. She recorded ratings in the mid 140s that day but gets to race off just 135 here and last time out she produced a rating of 136. That day she was coming to challenge when all but falling at the last in the Warfield and she may well have won but for that blunder. She can follow the same route to success as last year's winner.
On the face of it MONDOUI'BOY has plenty to find but he did produce a big rating of 139 last time out when barely coming off the bridle in a strong novice. That form has been franked and last year he was thought highly enough of to contest a bumper at Punchestown that included this week's Turners winner. He was ridden by an amateur that day but has improved for professional handling over hurdles and has shaped as if this marathon trip could suit. With doubts surrounding the stamina of the free-going favourite he could proved good value.
JANGO BAIE (NAP) is just 2lb below the top rated here but is still improving. The 2025 Arkle winner did well to finish as close as he did in the King George after being trapped wide and conceding first run. He's open to further progress over this longer trip on a stiffer track while the speed figure he produced at Ascot on his penultimate run is up there with the best in this line up. He looks the one to side with in an open renewal.
STATTLER was a winner at this meeting in his novice days and has proven he retains most of his ability recently. He kicked on too soon under an inexperienced jockey and was caught late on his penultimate start but made amends under today's pilot last time. He hated the sharp Fakenham that day but was well on top at the finish but a return to this venue on favourable drying ground in first time cheekpieces should see an improved effort. At his peak he was rated 163 so he could have too much class for these.
STEDE BONNET can continue his stable's excellent record in this contest. He has had plenty of racing since the start of the year to get experience into him and his victories have had form boosts since. He has matched or surpassed his mark of 133 on 2 of his last 3 outings and he is open to further improvement on this quicker surface over a longer trip judged on his bumper form.
