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.

WHERE TO BET There are a variety of places to bet at the course; Britbet has selling points throughout the racecourse - easily identified by the Britbet 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.

Minimum 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

The lightly-raced TWISTING PHYSICS shaped quite well tackling 1 1/4m for the first time on his Newbury reappearance and can build on that promise. Double Red and Salamcana City are respected opponents on the back of reappearance wins, while it’ll be interesting to see what the betting makes of Oli Rix’s new recruit Noble Horizon.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: CAMEO & BLOOM trained by A O’Brien, Ireland.

The fact ROMANTIC SYMPHONY has gone off at odds on when winning both her starts suggests this very well-bred filly is highly regarded and she can remain unbeaten stepping up in class. Bloom has been deserted by Ryan Moore but this recent Navan Group 3 third might still be the one to give Charlie Appleby’s charge most to think about.

RACE SUMMARY

An interesting Derby trial, despite a small field, and Godolphin’s exciting prospect MAHO BAY may extend his winning sequence. The dangers are headed by Aidan O’Brien’s Isaac Newton, who may prove a different proposition over a longer trip with a run under his belt, while hat-trick seeking Maltese Cross could be smart and will relish the extra distance.
