Ratings Summary
p
the horse is likely to improve
P
the horse is almost certainly capable of much better
?
the rating is suspect or (used alone) the horse can’t be assessed with confidence
+
the horse may be better than rated
§
the horse is unreliable (for temperament or other reasons)
§§
the horse is so temperamentally unsatisfactory as not to be worth a rating
RATINGS SUMMARY
The first column indicates the distance—rounded to the nearest tenth of a furlong (a prefix indicates the race was not run on turf;
f-fibresand; p-polytrack; a-other artificial surface)—and going: f-firm (or fast); m-good to firm; g-good (or standard); d-good to soft
or dead; s-soft (slow, sloppy or muddy); v-heavy. Timeform uses its own assessment of the going, which may not coincide with the
one given by the racecourse.
The second column shows the Timeform Computer Timefigure recorded.
The third column shows the Timeform rating achieved. Both the timefigure and rating are adjusted to today’s weights.
The fourth column shows the BHA or Irish Turf Club mark if the race was a handicap. For other types of races the abbreviations
are G1-Group 1; G2-Group 2; G3-Group 3; L-Listed; W-weight-for-age/conditions; M-maiden; N-nursery; S-seller; C-claiming event,
A-amateur, ladies event, etc
COLOUR/SEX/PEDIGREE
Colours: b-bay; bl-black; br-brown; ch-chestnut; gr-grey; ro-roan.
Sex: c-colt; f-filly; g-gelding; h-horse; m-mare; r-rig.
This information is followed by the horse’s sire, its dam and the dam’s sire, each shown with its highest annual Timeform rating.
OTHER INFORMATION
The TRW figures (which appear for non-handicap races) are the weight-adjusted Timeform ratings which the winners have
achieved in the same race in the five previous years.
THE FLAGS
Horse In Focus
Noted in positive terms on its previous outing by our race analyst, marking it out as a
horse to look out for.
Warning Horse
Pinpointed as potentially representing poor value, primarily on account of doubts as
to the strength or reliability of its recent form.
Horses For Courses
Determines the suitability of this track for the horse by comparing its lifetime record
against the Timeform digital course data.
Trainer Uplift
Highlights a noteworthy stable switch in that the horse’s new trainer has a
significantly higher Timeform Trainer Ranking than the one for whom it last ran.
Jockey Uplift
The engaged rider has a notably higher Timeform Jockey Ranking than those who’ve
ridden the horse on its most recent starts.
Trainer Form
An assessment of the trainer’s recent form, based on Timeform ratings-related
measurement.
The PACE FORECAST (available only in declared Race Cards) uses early positional figures (as noted by Timeform’s race analysts)
from all of the horses’ recent records to establish the likely pace of a race.
If the effect of the DRAW—derived from a representative sample of handicaps at the course and distance recently—is likely to
be worth considering then the extent of the potential advantage (or disadvantage) is noted. The terms low, middle and high are
contextual and refer to ‘thirds’ of the field, so a horse drawn 8 in a nine-runner race is considered to be drawn high while one drawn
8 in a 24-runner race would be drawn low.
COURSE-TO-COURSE RATINGS are usually included in declared Race Cards for other Flat meetings taking place at the same time.

TIMEFORM RATINGS indicate the chances of the runners based on Timeform’s interpretation of their form. The ratings on their

conditions. A RATINGS SUMMARY appears below each rating. It shows how each runner has performed in up to its last eight
races (most recent at the top).

temperamental characteristics, favoured tactics, and so on. Taken as a whole, the comment should suggest how likely the horse is
to reproduce, or improve upon, the level of form indicated by the rating.
The horses are listed on the Timeform Race Card with their official race card numbers. The jockeys listed are those declared to ride at the
time of going to press and are subject to amendment. Weights, owners, trainers and colours have been added for convenience and are
