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.

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.

WEIGHTWATCHER: FINGAL’S HILL won off a handicap mark of 123, his rating is now down 5lb to 118. LONGEST TRAVELLER: STYLISH RECRUIT trained by A M Thomson, Greenlaw, 73 miles.
Course-specialist HORN CAPE ran a fine race (after 10 weeks off) to finish third at this track last month, and he should be spot on for return to this longer trip and can record a fourth course success Fingal’s Hill produced a rare modest effort last time but he’s the type to bounce back quickly and is feared, especially if Brian Hughes can poach an easy lead in this small field. Coniston George was back to his best when winning in first-time headgear and he’s expected to go well again.

FIFTH RACE 4.30
TWO MILES ABOUT FOUR FURLONGS (2M 4F 19YDS) FOR FIVE YRS OLD AND UPWARDS
THE GOLF MEMBERSHIPS AT HIGH GOSFORTH PARK HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 5)
Total prize fund £6150 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £2484, 2nd £1242, 3rd £621, 4th £311, 5th £155. (Penalty Value £3247.81) Weights raised 5lb and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.
LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): M Hammond (15 wins from 163 runners, 9%) runs BEAT THE EDGE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): M Hammond (2 wins from 22 runners, 9%) runs BEAT THE EDGE WEIGHTWATCHER: BEAT THE EDGE won off a handicap mark of 91, his rating is now down 6lb to 85. LONGEST TRAVELLER: SOLDIER DAN trained by L Morgan, Waltham On The Wolds, 181 miles.
A few of these arrive with question marks against them so this looks an excellent opportunity for EMPTY NEST to regain the winning thread having been ridden too aggressively when a solid Wetherby fourth last time out. Kicksaftersix is feared most in his bid to gain a first win of the current campaign, with Beat The Edge appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours

LONGEST TRAVELLER: WILD NEPHIN trained by R Potter, Sellack, 278 miles.
RACE SUMMARY
WILLIE SHAKE HANDS caught the eye when second over C&D last time and has good claims of getting off the mark if racing more efficiently Mix de Gris looks fairly handicapped and makes appeal back on a sounder surface, while recent runner-up Wild Nephin merits plenty of respect over this stiffer test Socks Off is worth a market check racing off his last winning hurdles mark.
