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.
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

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): J Goldie (67 wins from 575 runners, 12%) runs YAASER TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): B Ellison (4 wins from 21 runners, 19%) runs FREDDY ROBINSON WEIGHTWATCHER: YAASER won off a handicap mark of 69, his rating is now down 16lb to 53. LONGEST TRAVELLER: ALEMBIC trained by Sir M Prescott, Newmarket, 241 miles. RACE SUMMARY
ALEMBIC showed improved form on his return at Southwell 11 days ago, shaping as if he’d come on for the outing, and this step up in trip should suit on breeding so he’s well fancied against exposed rivals here. Golspie is very consistent and a C&D winner so could be a threat, while Urban Road is down to a good mark if coming on for his recent return. 1-2-3: 1.ALEMBIC 2.GOLSPIE (IRE) 3.URBAN ROAD KEY colours

PEQUENITA has filled the runner-up spot 3 times in succession, including her best effort on all-weather at Kempton in September, and this could prove the ideal opportunity for her to break her duck. Lady Caroline Lamb shaped better than her Kempton fifth suggests 16 days ago after a 12-week break and should be sharper now so looks the biggest danger, though Xochipilli is bred to appreciate the step up to 1m and needs considering.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): R & P Fahey (73 wins from 652 runners, 11%) runs VINTAGE CLARETS TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): M Herrington (5 wins from 18 runners, 28%) runs ELYAM WEIGHTWATCHER: PADDY’S DAY won off a handicap mark of 88, his rating is now down 9lb to 79. LONGEST TRAVELLERS: FORAGER trained by S Pearce, ADRESTIA trained by S Crisford & MICHAELA’S BOY trained by R Cowell, all Newmarket, 241 miles. RACE SUMMARY
ELYAM has made massive progress for his new yard after a long absence and is likely to prove hard to stop in his hat-trick attempt. Tatterstall responded well to headgear when scoring at Lingfield so is next best ahead of Against The Wind, who hinted at a revival in the Portland. 1-2-3: 1.ELYAM 2.TATTERSTALL (IRE) 3.AGAINST THE WIND KEY colours

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT NEWCASTLE Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital. It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.
