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 If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

The vote goes to GLORY HIGHTS, who has acquitted himself well in handicaps here the last twice and this represents a good opportunity for the 8-y-o to get his head in front. Scalloway Bay was behind the selection on both occasions and there’s no real reason to believe that he will turn the tables this time Still, he is second choice ahead of Askmore.

LAWRENNY was keeping on at the finish in similar conditions at Sedgefield 7 weeks ago and with the good chance this could become a slog on the ground he can make his experience count and strike.
