KEY OwnerBreeding BreederJockeyTrainer Sponsor Star Ratings Explained
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.
You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet

LONGEST TRAVELLERS: FADED FANTASY & UNSPEAKABLE & INVICTUS ALLEN trained by C Williams, Bridgend, 190 miles.
IVANE has been ultra-consistent since joining the James Owen stable and may be able to improve again over the longest trip he’s faced for these connections He’s taken to follow up his recent Sedgefield success, with Ballynaheer feared most having won comfortably over this C&D 15 days ago.The market should prove informative regarding the ChristianWilliams’ trio, but it could be significant that JackTudor partners Faded Fantasy who races off a 10lb lower mark on just his third chase start.
