Wasn't really sure where to put this and didn't want to start a thread but need to ask a silly question:
BBB due to run Friday, rated 144 has 11 7 at the mo. Top horse in the race is rated 151 so has 12 stone, but why is it 12, and not 11 12 when it's an 'premier' handicap?
Can any one help please? Dreading top 2 dropping out and he would end up with 12 stone to lump on come back and giving loads as it is on 11 7.
Thank you.

I can't answer the question, G-G, but I've noticed myself a number of handicaps with the 12-0 ceiling.

The top one has stayed in so he has 11 7 which is a slight relief. Bit surprised he's not being tipped as CD winner more than once but my friend who backs him religiously ( well I do for her as she can't manage her Paddypower account ) is more than pleased that one side saying 7/1 with 6 opponents. Never stopped him either so all things crossed. Hopefully not all the forecasted rain will turn up. A bit yes, but not all of it.
