Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

HHHHH Selected to win the race.

HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

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 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 nonhandicaps 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. For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating.

Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

“I have fed Spillers for the last few seasons and although I have tried other feeds since I started training, I have found Spillers to work very well for me and it ’s the winning formulation.

& MA BELLE NOIRE

LONGEST TRAVELLERS: LAST OF A LEGEND & MA BELLE NOIRE trained by H Fry, Corscombe, 80 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

An easy winner on her only start in France, GRIVETANA was a big disappointment on her first outing for this yard at Wincanton last month. She’s taken to get back on track and prove that that effort was just a minor blip. Chabichou Dupoitou showed much more sent hurdling recently so she’s feared most with progress on the cards, ahead of Harry Fry’s pair Last of A Legend and Ma Belle Noire.

RACE SUMMARY

MR GLASS disappointed on his handicap bow at Wincanton but had excuses and is worth another chance back in a novice judged on his third in the Tolworth at Sandown. Monbeg Genius doesn’t have much to find with the selection on these terms and will be suited by the step up in trip, so rates a big threat.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): P Hobbs (24 wins from 143 runners, 17%) runs FROM THE HEART TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): P Hobbs (6 wins from 28 runners, 21%) runs FROM THE HEART WEIGHTWATCHER: JUST YOUR TYPE won off a handicap mark of 128, his rating is now down 8lb to 120.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: KINGSMILL GIN trained by Miss J Du Plessis, Saltash, 128 miles.

RACE SUMMARY JUST YOUR TYPE’s jumping occasionally lets him down and he struggled in the Eider at Newcastle, but the handicapper has cut him some slack and this is a more palatable assignment.

The 10-y-o gets the nod ahead of Favori de Sivola, who was in good form earlier in the season and shapes as though this trip will be within range. The veteran Dancing Shadow and Dalkingstown are others to consider.

RACE SUMMARY Sean Curran won this in 2021 and GIVE US A SWIG could prove the answer to this year’s renewal. He likely found heavy going taxing his stamina last time and can bounce back under ground conditions which should be similar to those he won a hurdle on last July. Earcomesbob and Paseo are capable of getting involved, while Arbennig is worth keeping an eye on in the market on chase/handicap debut.
