Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race. HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. 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 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.

The pick of these on Flat form, SALKADAN finished third at Uttoxeter on hurdling debut and he can step forward from that outing to open his account in this sphere. A pair making their first starts over hurdles could be the main dangers, Rum Diamond making plenty of appeal on pedigree and feared most ahead of Grey Sands.

RACE SUMMARY
DELGANY SECOND NOW cruised to victory on handicap bow at Stratford on Tuesday and may well defy a 7lb penalty. Onehundredneighty and Khalk’eau Spigao are both potential improvers for very capable yards, with Kotari another likely player if putting it all together.
