Is the 2f spread of distance from the first race a horse races in or is it 2f either side of its best run?

I am hoping that it is 2f either side of best run race.

The reason I ask is that I have a horse called S C Bright Future who is a 2m 2f racer, but I put him in a 1m 7f race in week 1 where he finished 7th and a 2m 1f race in week 2 where he finished 3rd.

I want to enter him in UKRA race 27, a 2m 3f race but he appears to be ineligible.

I must admit that I tend to concentrate on the jumps side of the game where the spread is 4f and I forgot about the 2f spread in the flat game.

I am not too sure BUT think you will be fine i think there has to be certain leniency towards stayers on flat
Gray or Leon will have the answer for you

2f either side of best maiden run which is 2m1, but as the horse is a stayer it should be eligible for all handicaps from 1m7 to 2m5. I'm not sure why he can't enter. Will put him in manually for now as I need to access the database to check this and I can only do that at home.

If anyone else has issues like this please post below
