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.

WHERE TO BET There are a variety of places to bet at the course; The Tote has selling points throughout the racecourse - easily identified by the Tote Betting or totepool signs.

The bookmakers are located in front of the grandstand in the ‘Betting Ring’. The bookmakers display their odds for each race and compete to offer the best price to customers. These are fixed price bets and the amount of your winnings will be printed on your betting slip. Search around to get the best price for your selection.

Mimimum Stakes The Tote has a minimum bet of £2. The bookmakers vary but if they have a minimum it will be shown on the boards displaying their odds. If in doubt – just ask.

RACE SUMMARY OUR JESTER showed improved form when making a winning return in what is traditionally a strong bumper at Ascot and tops the shortlist in what looks a competitive event. German-raider Estacas beat a subsequent winner when making a winning debut at Ascot so must be respected, while Carrigdoun Boy looked a good prospect when making a winning start at Southwell.

SECOND RACE 1.20 TWO MILES ABOUT SEVEN FURLONGS (2M 7F) FOR NOVICE FIVE YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

RACE SUMMARY BALLYGRIFINCOTTAGE was thrown in at the deep end making his Rules debut in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham, but acquitted himself well, so he’s fancied to open his account in this lesser event. It’s no doubt going to prove a strong novice however, and the Irish challenge from Fameaftertheglory should be a formidable one, while High Stakes isn’t one to take lightly either.

Weatherbys Cheltenham Festival Betting Guide Hurdle A small but select field has been

assembled for the very first running of the Weatherbys Cheltenham Festival Betting Guide Hurdle, an extended 2m3f contest worth £52,030 to the winner.

Two horses carry a 6lbs penalty, with Brewin’upastorm earning his by virtue of winning Fontwell’s National Spirit Hurdle last February. Fifth in the Aintree Hurdle on his final outing last term, Olly Murphy’s talented nine-year-old has travelled kindly in two runs this season, having undergone wind surgery (for a second time) during the summer. An impressive winner of a similar contest at Aintree on his reappearance, he looked to have the measure of Stormy Ireland when falling at the final flight in Cheltenham’s Relkeel Hurdle, the second time he has done so on the New course.

The fact that he reappears so quickly suggests that he suffered no ill effects of that fall and whilst he handles better ground, he has plenty of winning form on soft. The trip is ideal and If he copes with the heavy conditions, he ought to put up a very bold bid under Aidan Coleman.

The enigmatic Goshen is the other to be burdened with the maximum penalty, thanks to his victory in the Kingwell Hurdle, also last February. That is his sole success in six starts since his infamous final-flight mishap in the 2020 Triumph Hurdle and this is his first start on a lefthanded track since last year’s Champion Hurdle, when he hung violently to his right. The configuration of the track has to be a concern, but he relishes testing ground and is two-from-two on heavy over hurdles. In the past, he has always seemed best when able to dominate in small fields, yet he was held-up in the Coral Hurdle on reappearance, on what was his first start over this sort of trip. He has stamina to prove, but does represent a stable who have been in a rich vein of form of late.

FIND OUT MORE

The oldest horse in the field, Darver Star comes out best at the weights, being rated just 2lbs inferior to Brewin’upastorm.

Gavin Cromwell’s 10-year-old finished runner-up in the Irish Champion Hurdle in February 2020 and was third behind Epatante at Cheltenham the following month, and had been chasing until his most recent start at Punchestown.

Reverting to the smaller obstacles, he travelled with zest under similar conditions (2m3f on heavy ground) and readily brushed aside the opposition, crossing the line with 20 lengths to spare. He wears the blinkers that have been applied for each of his past two runs and if he can reproduce that latest effort, he looks to be a major player.

Fellow Irish-raider Lucky Max was a runner on day one of the meeting and is taking a huge step up in class, given that he won a handicap off just 118 on his previous start, whilst the Paul Nichollstrained mare Miranda also needs to take a big step forward, if she is to play a hand. The daughter of Camelot has yet to race beyond 2m, but does cope with soft ground and won the Grade 2 Yorkshire Rose Mares’ Hurdle at Doncaster last January. Having given away plenty of ground at the start at Ludlow (seemed reluctant to race), she did incredibly well to win last-time-out and the runner-up franked that form by winning at Newbury this week. It still leaves her with plenty to find with the main protagonists, however.

RACE SUMMARY BREWIN’UPASTORM looked set to follow up his Aintree win when he departed at the last in the Relkeel hurdle at Cheltenham on New Year’s Day, so he’s well worth the chance to gain compensation. Darver Star proved he retains a large proportion of his old ability in running out a wide-margin winner at Punchestown recently and is considered the main threat.
