    It is a shame that Sea The Stars is not running because his rating of 130 -1
    made him the highest rated horse in my ratings ever…
    The Couch reckons that Ryan Moore will ride TARTAN BEARER as this is
    The fancy from the Stoute yard, my thoughts are, he will be on Conduit.
    On paper this race is only a Group 2 not a Group1!

    The top rated is KNOT IN WOOD 107 +4 with a 5lb claimer on his back and if the ground
    was soft he would be an outstanding bet.
    The forecast horse is TAMAGIN 107 +2

    Note: the minimum class rating I would expect any horse in a Class 2 to achieve is 96, so any horse under
    this rating is discarded.

    Not sure what I am looking at on the lower list. Can you explain?

    The lower list is the complete form and my ratings for Cape Royal back to 2008 to show where the 81 rating came from.

    This is an example on how I look at a race:

    The top rated is Cape Royal (

    81

    ) who had been running well until his last race, and
    he is rated +11 above his offical rating on my ratings, i.e. the figure before the jockey’s name.
    The forecast horse would be Desperate Dan 77 +4 and with his Jockeys allowance
    of (7) is the main danger.

    CAPE ROYAL: 1st Rating is OR and the 2nd is my MHR

    I would be interested in seeing your ratings based upon each horses LTO at an All Weather course to see if it changes the reflection of the race.

    If I just used the LTO AW ratings of last night 6.20 at Wolverhampton the reflection of the race would have changed completely.
    I just looked at the last 3 runs as Mr Beyer does, and just recorded the best rating.
    I know that you should ignore what a horse has acheived on the turf when running on the AW, but it is the same with jumps horses when they improve 2 stone over fences and then run back over hurdles, they have to be backed.
    That is the idea behind the spreadsheet, the horse noted have all improved on their last runs.

    For those interested I have posted my figures for tomorrows evening meeting at Wolverhampton on my blog. New England looks a good bet in the first with a tissue of 12-1

    I had a look at the race at the Wolverhampton race and my top rated was MASTEROFCEREMONIES, and his 41/2 length 5th to Silvino, who hacked up Saturday has the form and draw to win here.
    NEW ENGLAND was rated 12lb behind on 57.

    I will put forward a system to use with my spreadsheet above, which might help somebody to find a few winners.

    Look out for any horse that according to my handicap ratings is 10+ or above on a recent outing, such as "Blue Jack" who ran at Windsor on the 6th July.
    In column H "MAX CLASS", Blue Jack’s max class is (C2) and if his next run is in a (C3) this is a bet.

    Just food for thought 8)

    I always question the use of weights when it comes to handicapping. I think that ‘Speed Handicapping’ is a far more accurate measure of a horses ability.

    I agree with your statement on speed handicapping because that is what I use, a combination of speed + class.
    To beat the offical handicapper you must find an edge and I use the Beyer method of not adjusting the ratings by weight carried, as it corrupts the ratings.
    Tonight at Windsor in the 8.00 (C4) 6th July the offical Handicapper has

    Resurge

    on a rating of 78 plus a 6lb penalty, I rated the horse at 96 which is a (C2) rating…this is what I call an edge.
