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.

RACE SUMMARY

DUKE OF OXFORD progressed again when scoring in good style at Kempton last time and, with more still to offer at this trip, he can go on to land the hat-trick. The 4-y-o is taken to get the better of Roberto Escobarr, who is respected back in handicap company on his second start for Mick Appleby, while Evaluation is also considered having met trouble on his latest outing.

RACE SUMMARY

Several in with a shout in an open race. TRIBAL WISDOM gave an indication that he may be ready to strike from his reduced mark when fourth at Lingfield last week and Billy Loughnane doing the steering in an apprentice event is always a bonus. Flindrikin, who like the selection turns out again quickly, heads the many dangers along with Great Blasket and Open Choice.

RACE SUMMARY

Lots with chances in a cracking contest but it’s still hard to ignore the claims of TO CATCH A THIEF who made a winning start in handicaps over C&D last time and still looks to have a fair bit of improvement in him. Mick Appleby’s hat-trick seeker Penzance rates the main danger to William Haggas’ son of Cracksman ahead of in-form pair Queen of Ipanema and Sir Busker.
