Need help analysing handicaps (NH)

[Smarty72]

Hi guys, I am really struggling to analysis and work out handicaps especially hurdles. The biggest issue for me is the weight carried and the OR. I understand that handicaps are based around the OR which in theory puts on horses on an equal winning mark. How do you guys work out contenders and what has a real chance, i.e what are your secrets and golden rules. At the moment I am considering giving handicap races a miss as I am struggling to work them out and what horses have a live chance. Any help or advise much appreciated.

Re: Need help analysing handicaps (NH) Don't bet on handicap races as a rule, but, making your own ratings must be a logical starting point, then altering them to your own opinion on each horses performances.
