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

STARBURSTER finished fourth in a race that has thrown up winners on debut and she built on that effort following 3 months off when opening her account at Newbury 7 weeks ago. The runner up that day has tasted success twice since and with further progress beckoning, she makes plenty of appeal on nursery debut. Innichen will likely find this less demanding than his latest Doncaster assignment and is a threat, with Minzelle and Siouxperb completing the dangers.

MAE AMOR has eased a little in the weights and quickly bounced right back to form when finishing second in a C&D handicap 11 days ago, disputing lead late and denied on the bob. Successful from a higher mark in the spring, she looks a big player from a handy draw. Juan Les Pins is another to consider, whilst Kinnalargy requires a market check on debut for David O’Meara.

ICE SHOW was much improved on the back of an 8-week absence when opening her account over 7f here 10 days ago. Remaining low mileage and in excellent hands, she appeals as the type to build on that and earns the vote to follow up. Ey Up He’s A Star, recent C&D winner Whiskey Pete and Amarachi head up the dangers, with Rugby Union not dismissed lightly either.

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.
