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 nonhandicaps 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. For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating.

Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: MULCAHYS HILL trained by W Greatrex, Upper Lambourn, 284 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

BAVINGTON BOB jumped well when opening his chase account at the second attempt over this C&D and a 1lb rise for that looks very fair, even though the race in question ended up as just a 2-horse affair. He is open to improvement in this sphere and gets the nod ahead of Mr Scrumpy, who was behind Scoop The Pot here recently but a 6lb pull gives him a fighting chance of reversing those placings.

RACE SUMMARY ADRIMEL benefited from the fitting of blinkers when landing a 4-runner Haydock novice in emphatic fashion and, though his three rivals that day all renew rivalry on better terms, he will prove hard to beat if the headgear works equally well second time round. Assuming Fugitif is over whatever caused him to perform so poorly at Haydock, he could be the one for the forecast ahead of Dreams of Home.

GREAT BRITISH BONUS SCHEME The Great British Bonus (GBB) offers multiple bonuses of up to £20,000 per eligible race for British-bred fillies and mares.

HORSE WELFARE Here at Newcastle Racecourse nothing matters more to us than looking after the horses that make us the North East’s Premier Racecourse. We do everything in our power to ensure that we provide a racing surface of the highest quality and we take every conceivable care to minimise the chances of horses incurring any injury whilst here.

Regrettably, as in any highly competitive sport, there are occasions when something goes wrong and horses have to be given the very best veterinary care.

There are three Veterinary Surgeons here today to ensure that should any horse need help they will be attended to within seconds of any incident occurring. Their first priority is to make a rapid diagnosis and to help them do this our groundstaff team will erect screens around any horse that needs attention. Once the diagnosis is made, one of our horse ambulances will attend the scene and will transport the horse back to the stables where further treatment and assessment can be undertaken.

To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy please visit our website www.newcastle-racecourse.co.uk

RACE FOUR

Occasionally, it may be that the nature of the injury is such that a horse is unable to make a recovery.

If this is the case the Veterinary team may take the decision to put the horse down straight away. In these circumstances we should remember that the horse’s welfare comes first and that this option is kindest for the horse.

CRYSTAL GLORY can make light of a double penalty and remain unbeaten.

Dibble Decker didn’t run too badly in a listed bumper on his Rules debut and it could be that he provides the chief threat ahead of Ben Pauling’s Del La Mar Rocket.

RACE SUMMARY

A progressive maiden over hurdles, SHAKA THE KING produced a promising first effort over fences when fourth over this sort of trip at Hexham last month, and with the prospect of more to come, he earns the vote to build on that now. That said Rapid Raider arrives in search of the 4-timer and looks a serious player again. Folks Like Us and Newberry New, under Brian Hughes, complete the shortlist.

RACE SUMMARY

This is more than likely to develop into a match between SINCE DAY ONE and Stokes, who stand out on form. The former has looked a smart prospect to date and is fancied to defend his unbeaten record despite shouldering a double penalty. Adelphi Sprite is capable of getting involved if he can match his bumper form at the second attempt in this sphere.
