Cerise with a white circle, cerise sleeves and cap (Timeform Limited) Timeform Comment Timeform Rating (Top Rated with box) Horses For Courses Flag Age and Weight carried Date of last run RATING SYMBOLS The following symbols sometimes appear alongside (or instead of) a rating:- Paul Hanagan Trainer Uplift Flag Owner f12g p12m 14.1s’ 12f’ 14m’ 12f’ 12.5m’ 11.9f’ Jockey Uplift Flag T F 95 73 85 49 52 87 57 96 94 106+ 101+ 80 74 85+ 83 96 98 85 79 82 84 85 86 86 84 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 Limited 2014 COPYRIGHT AND LIABILITY Copyright in all Timeform Publications is strictly reserved by the Publishers and no material therein may be reproduced stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means electronic mechanical photocopying recording or otherwise without written permission of Timeform Limited. TIMEFORM RATINGS indicate the chances of the runners based on Timeform’s interpretation of their form. The ratings on their own should not necessarily be taken to indicate a selection. No horse can be expected to run to its best form under unsuitable 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).

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.
