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.

Runswick Days won The Santander In Memory of Robert Forster Handicap Steeple Chase at Sedgefield on Tuesday 11th November 2014.

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 SUMMARY

PEEJAYBEE took another step forward when landing a 7-runner handicap at Sandown 19 days ago and he’s strongly fancied to defy a double penalty back in a novice. Cartonne is the obvious danger if taking up this engagement.

RACE SUMMARY

The form of MARTHA WILLOW’s latest effort in a Newcastle novice looks pretty strong and she makes plenty of appeal now pitched into a handicap. The 5-y-o promises to be suited by this stiffer test, too, a remark which also applies to Twoshotsoftequila, who is second choice. Joie de Vivre should also have a part to play if able to build on her latest effort.

RACE SUMMARY

SPUTNIK has improved with each start in this sphere and also didn’t enjoy the best of runs when fourth here last time so looks the way to go off the same mark now fitted with headgear.

Brooksway Fair rates a big threat though now he reverts to a shorter trip and fencing newcomer Scattercash also merits consideration for his shrewd yard given his winning form in points.

RACE SUMMARY

A thin event in which, having produced improved performances the last twice, WHEELBAHRI stands out. He cut out his regular mistakes when beating a next-time-out winner at Catterick last time and this should present a fine opportunity to follow up. Donladd is still unexposed over fences and could be a player, whilst Astra Via is of some interest back chasing.
