Mr Didier Blot Hare Group Ltd Br

TIMEFORMVIEW Established himself as the best stayer in Europe last year, winning Goodwood Cup, Cadran at Longchamp and Long Distance Cup at Ascot. Took Nottingham Listed race on return but asking an awful lot of him to defy a mark of 120.

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

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HIIII Can be given 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 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.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet

You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): M Appleby (39 wins from 292 runners, 13%) runs SECRETARY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): M Appleby (9 wins from 40 runners, 22%) runs SECRETARY LONGEST TRAVELLERS: QUIZLET trained by C Fellowes & GRAND CENTRAL trained by P McEnteeboth Newmarket, 241 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

SECRETARY caused a 66/1 shock when scoring on her nursery debut at Chelmsford in December and having joined leading all-weather championship trainer Mick Appleby since, there’s sure to be more to come, so she gets the verdict to follow up. Sprezzatura can have his latest run overlooked so he may provide the main danger back down in trip, with Leap Year Lad rounding off the shortlist

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.

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

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

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ALAFDHAL trained by P McEntee, Newmarket, 241 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

ALAFDHAL arrives on a good mark so is worth siding with given he possibly found the run coming too quickly when fourth at Southwell in January. Intervention is feared most on the back of his good Southwell second, ahead of the consistent Pockley who is always to be respected round here. 1-2-3: 1.ALAFDHAL (IRE) 2.INTERVENTION 3.POCKLEY
