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

Flat winnerTEESCOMPONENTSFLY is likely to come into his own when switched to handicaps in this sphere, but he showed more than enough when third in a similar event over C&D recently to suggest that he can deliver the goods in a race of this nature. Not What It Seems finally got the job done here last time, but he has more on his plate under a penalty and Cartonne, who hasn’t done much wrong since switched to hurdles, is the clear main danger.

RACE SUMMARY

This is best left to GEROMINO, who looked set to make it 2-2 over fences at Ayr before his jumping went to pot at the last two fences. It’s easy to forgive him for what was probably a mere blip that day, bearing in mind how sure-footed he was at Carlisle on his chase debut. With Zoffalee unconvincing and Shaws Bridge a long way out of the weights, Nero Rock is the only conceivable danger.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: LATINO FLING trained by D McCain, Cholmondeley, 142 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

The consistent LATINO FLING is by far the most solid option, given that Desaray Girl appears to have gone off the boil and Calliope offered little here back from a break two weeks ago.

Guidedbythescience could be the one to follow Latino Fling home, with Pure Surf best of the rest.
