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

If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

EUCHAN FALLS bounced back to form on his first try at 3m when finding only an up-and-comer too strong at Ayr 18 days ago and is the percentage call to go one better Le Grand Vert is sure to be bang there if reproducing his latest effort, while it’s too soon to be writing off Breakdance Kid.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: RIVERS CORNER trained by S Hosie, Sherborne, 329 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

Now upped in trip and switched to handicap company, ADVERAM could be about to sprout wings having shown more encouraging signs when chasing home an odds-on shot in a maiden at Ayr. Scalloway Bay was behind Glory Hights here at the end of January but he did well under the circumstances that day and may well emerge as the main danger to Adveram now faced with an even stiffer test The hat-trick seeking Rivers Corner has to enter calculations, too.
