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.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): D O’Meara (57 wins from 448 runners, 13%) runs TUPERO TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): M Sowersby (2 wins from 9 runners, 22%) runs ARCIMBOLDO WEIGHTWATCHER: KHANGAI won off a handicap mark of 55, his rating is now down 5lb to 50.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: TARBAT NESS trained by J Berry, Newmarket, 241 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

It’s hard not to be drawn to the ex-French handicap debutant TUPERO, who represents a shrewd yard and it’s highly likely that he’ll leave his maiden form well behind now handicapping over a trip that promises to be right up his street. The others are comparatively exposed, with Arcimboldo and Billy Bathgate taken to emerge as the main dangers.

TIMEFORMVIEWUnreliable sort. One win from 2 runs last year. 8/1, below form sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f, soft) 52 days ago. Unplaced all 3 previous starts on the AW and he’s probably worth taking on.

RACE SUMMARY

None of these can be ruled out but PROFIT STREET is thriving for James Owen and edges the vote on the back of a very good Lingfield second when hindered by a tardy start. Court Of Session is weighted to have a big say though, while Bad Habits and Sibyl Charm can’t be discounted easily either.

RACE SUMMARY

Those with experience do not set the bar too high so this could rest between newcomers LAKOTA CHIEF and Star of Emerald with preference for Archie Watson’s Sioux Nation colt who is from a family full of winners. Ed Bethell’s Recoletos colt also commands plenty of respect though and the betting should prove highly revealing. Clonquest could emerge as the pick of those with experience ahead of Populus and Somebody.

RACE SUMMARY

THE GREEN MAN goes really well here and can gain compensation for an unlucky-in-running third over C&D last time out. Bowood also didn’t enjoy the rub of the green on his latest start when seventh at Southwell and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Bajan Bandit.

A case can be made for all of these but HEAVENLY HEATHER impressed with how she travelled when scoring over 6f here last time out and can defy a 4lb rise with this drop to the minimum trip a likely plus.

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.

RACE SIX

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.

RACE SUMMARY

AISLING OSCAR has really sprouted wings for new connections on the all-weather this winter, finishing a good third on his stable debut at Wolverhampton in November prior to winning four on the bounce at this course. He could still be a step ahead of the handicapper and is taken to maintain his 100% record at Newcastle. Moyowasi and Wyvern both hit the target last time out and are feared, while Pallas Lord shouldn’t be too far away either.
