Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:
HHHHH Selected to win the race
HHHHI Good chance of being placed.
HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.
HIIII Can be given little or no chance.
The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability
The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).
The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

Welcome to Bath Racecourse for our first evening meeting of the season.
We would like to thank our sponsors of tonight’s races, British European Breeders Fund, Blackmore, Betting,Bet and Best Cleaning Group.
Tonight’s card features seven exciting races, covering distances from 5½ furlongs to 1 mile 3½ furlongs.
Among them is the first qualifying race for the ever-popular Bath Stayers Series, taking place as our penultimate race of the evening.
Scheduled for 7:42pm, the Betting.Bet Horseracing Odds Handicap offers the first chance to book a spot in September’s Stayers Final, run over 1 mile 6 furlongs, with a share of a £35,000 prize fund up for grabs. These qualifiers offer points which when built up help guarantee a run in the final.
This evening’s qualifier sees the seasonal return of Blue Hero, an eight-time winner here at Bath. Trained by Adrian Wintle and ridden by Finley Marsh, the seven-year-old has the chance to become the first horse ever to claim nine victories at this course.
Currently, Blue Hero shares the record of eight wins with Delagate This Lord.
Remarkably, Blue Hero has only started as favourite in two of those wins, having achieved his tally in just 22 starts over four seasons. By contrast, Delagate This Lord has made 20 appearances at Bath across seven years, winning half of his races as favourite or joint favourite.
Best of luck to all connections this evening!
Next up at Bath racecourse is an afternoon meeting on Friday 23rd May. Our first music night of the season is on Friday 6th June and features an Oasis tribute band live after racing – we hope to see you there!

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT BATH
Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing
surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.
It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website www.bath-racecourse.co.uk.

AGENT MAYFAIR needs to prove his effectiveness on turf but he’s been holding his form on the all-weather and could well be worth siding with to confirm as much re-united with his promising rider from a handy draw. Savalas, Banana and Sisters In The Sky are all closely matched on recent form and head up the dangers.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): T Carroll (31 wins from 305 runners, 10%) runs DOUGLAS DC & WALK THE MOON TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): T Carroll (5 wins from 40 runners, 12%) runs DOUGLAS DC & WALK THE MOON WEIGHTWATCHER: BLUE HERO won off a handicap mark of 62, his rating is now down 9lb to 53. LONGEST TRAVELLERS: DOUGLAS DC & WALK THE MOON trained by T Carroll, Cropthorne, 69 miles.
TWO PLUS TWO looked better than everwhen making all on his first run on turf since September 2023 at Salisbury recently, and he looks capable of going in again under a penalty He may have most to fear from Douglas Dc, who remains winless on the Flat following 18 starts but he has been knocking on the door of late. Hawk Jet will be a danger to all if she puts her best foot forward, while last-time-out C&D winner Jimmy Mark is another to consider

SEVENTH RACE 8.12
ONE MILE, TWO FURLONGS ABOUT 37 YARDS (10F ABT 37YDS) FOR THREE YRS OLD
THE BLACKMORE BUILDING AND DESIGN HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)
Total prize fund £6600 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £2725, 2nd £1363, 3rd £681, 4th £341, 5th £170. (Penalty Value £3454.44) SS
LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): A Wintle (26 wins from 160 runners, 16%) runs BUCK BARROW TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): M Bell (8 wins from 22 runners, 36%) runs BATTLE STRIDE
LONGEST TRAVELLERS: BATTLE STRIDE trained by M Bell, IN THE SUNSHINE trained by D Holland, BAILEYS VALUE trained by L D Souza, all Newmarket, 155 miles.
The one who appeals most is PENN AVENUE, who took a sizeable step forward when second to Zappata upped to a mile on her recent handicap debut at Wetherby. The latter has gone on to add another three handicaps to his tally, which makes the 1lb rise Penn Avenue incurred for that effort look rather lenient. Respiro Solitario wasn’t far away in third in that Wetherby race and is likely to emerge as the main danger, though Battle Stride is also interesting.
