Eachhorse hasbeen given astarrating, theseare definedbelow:
HHHHH Selectedtowin therace.
HHHHI Good chance of being placed
HHHII By no meansout of thereckoning but atleast one or twoholdstrongerclaims
HHIII Unlikelytowin butnot totallywithout hope HIIII Canbegiven 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.

BLUENOSE BELLE has offered enough in her recent qualifying runs to think a low-grade handicap such as this could be within her grasp Bobbigrey didn’t come close to justifying market support on her handicap debut in November but a break since suggests something came to light and she remains exposed and could provide the chief threat.
