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.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

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.

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

SUMMER IN MILAN shaped like he’d come for the run after 4 months off when fourth over hurdles here in October and with cheekpieces refitted back over fences, he’s fancied to make a bold bid for the in-form Chris Gordon yard. Atreides has become expensive to follow but his consistency is hard to knock and he’s the obvious threat. Bank On Frank commands a close market check now his attentions switch to larger obstacles for the first time.

CUSTOMERS OF THE BOARDS All racegoers should check their itemised tickets immediately on receipt, as mistakes cannot be rectified after the “off”. Customers are reminded to retain all betting tickets until after the weigh-in, as immediate payment will be made only on production of the original ticket.

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT FONTWELL PARK Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.

It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.

RACE SUMMARY

CRACKERJACQUE appeals most given his strong form in bumpers and he can make a winning hurdle debut returned to more suitable ground. Phineas Bunce merits plenty of respect starting out over hurdles for a top yard, while the market should guide expectations for interesting French recruit Just Forty.

GOLD CLERMONT is potentially well handicapped on her best form and could be worth chancing on debut for powerful yard. Last year’s winner Unanswered Prayers is the obvious threat having made an encouraging return at Cheltenham, with the thriving Shantou Lucky completing the shortlist.
