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.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

RACE SUMMARY

Lady Gibbings and Tom Symonds have picked up some useful sorts from France in recent years and Fontainebleau runner-up KARAKTERE D’ENFER could be another. Talented Flat recruit Think First could give him plenty to think about if taking to hurdling, though.

RACE SUMMARY

GONE IN SIXTY was going the right way over fences prior to disappointing at Hereford recently so Alex Hales’ 6-y-o gets the tentative nod to open his account at the expense of Guillaume, who offered something to work on sent chasing when third at Sedgefield back in April and should have more to offer in this sphere. Fanfan du Seuil and Fox’s Socks round off the shortlist.

RACE SUMMARY

NICKELFORCE and Zwicky are both heading in the right direction and could be the pair to focus on here. The latter proved that he is comfortable in this big-field scenario when scoring at Carlisle and is not passed over at all lightly in his hat-trick attempt. However, Nickelforce bumped into a well-handicapped rival at Hereford (form which has been boosted by the subsequent win of the third) and he is marginally preferred. Burrows Hall and Immortal Fame are others with a chance.
