So are you supposed to flip a coin when capping a race like this?
I roughly convert the Racing Post ratings to Beyers, and it usually works out OK. Plus, there are the chart comments to give you an idea of the running line and if they're top class horses, you can usually find a video or two of them on YouTube.
