KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor 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.
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope HIIII Can be given little or no chance.
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED
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 birthplace of horse if not Great Britain

Race preview from Weatherbys
It is an absolute pleasure to be sponsoring the WeatherbysRacing BankMaidenStakesatBrightonthis afternoon, a Class 5 event staged over five-and-a-half furlongs won last year by George Boughey’s Mutamanni.
Richard Hughes’ Lazzar holds an experience edge over his three rivals,havinghadfourcareerstarts, and sets a good standard with an official rating of 80. The Mehmas gelding was just collared close home on return at Kempton but probably didn’t build on that effort when third at Windsor last time, in receiptofweightfromthefrontpair. He drops back slightly in trip here butisbredforsprinting,outofasixfurlong winner and hailing from the speedy family of Prix de l’Abbaye winner Maarek and Listed-winning sprinterRubyRocket.

The mare Park Top was probably the best horse to run at Brighton in the 20th century. Between 1967-70 she won two Brighton Cups, two races at Royal Ascot, the Coronation Cup, the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes, and finished second in the Arc. She’d cost 500 guineas as a yearling

A chance is taken on TWILIGHT GUEST turning up in the same mood as when scoring in cosy fashion over C&D last week. The forecast quicker ground won’t be a problem and, if he is again on-song, the 5lb penalty may not prove to be a major issue either. Maguire’s overall record isn’t the most compelling, but he shaped pretty well here last time and, with this step back up in trip a plus, he could be a threat. Cryptos Dream and Walk The Moon are others to consider
