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.

A useful and competitive handicap Considering he’d been off for 10 months SKUKUZA’s Haydock reappearance was encouraging and he can build on that promise now. Grand Karat has a strong AW record and is another who should be sharper for last month’s seasonal return. United Approach, who was a place ahead of Grand Karat at Kempton, and Thunder Roar complete the shortlist

A competitive sprint to conclude and with that in mind a chance is taken on bottom weight BADRI. He quickly dispelled a lesser effort and looked unlucky not to finish closer when fifth in a Southwell handicap 2 weeks ago and he’s clearly lurking on a competitive mark. Ferrous has returned as good as ever and he’s a big threat in his bid to land the hat-trick Korker, who is unexposed on synthetics, and Germanic are another couple to note.
