Rating

The horse is clearly suited to lower-grade racing. At Class 5 level, Rating has failed to break through in 10 attempts, a run that highlights how much the horse depends on finding the right race type and distance. When those conditions align—middle-distance contests at smaller tracks—Rating delivers. Its last six runs tell the story: an eighth-place finish followed by a win, then three fifth-place efforts and a third. That win interrupted a frustrating sequence and shows the horse can still find its way to the front when circumstances are right.

Grace Harris's Shirenewton yard continues to fire, with 31 winners sent out this season. Sean Levey has been Rating's most frequent partner, but their partnership has yet to click—0 wins from 6 races together suggests a mismatch between horse and rider, at least so far. Rating remains active and genuinely useful at the right trip in the right company. It is a horse that wins just often enough to keep its the yard interested and punters hopeful.
