Star Ratings

Explained

Eachhorse hasbeengiven astarrating, theseare defined below: ëëëëë Selectedtowin therace. ëëëëê Good chance of being placed ëëëêê By no meansout of thereckoning but at leastone or twoholdstrongerclaims.

70 ëëêêê Unlikelytowin butnot totallywithout hope. ëêêêê Canbegiven 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 non-handicaps 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.

The vote goes to AMOURIE, who hit the target here in December and her turn again appears to be near judged on solid placed efforts in recent weeks. Destinado looks a big threat on the back of his recent Chelmsford second and Tio Mio could also have a part to play if building on the positive signs he showed at Wolverhampton.

EASY EQUATION didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when third at Lingfield last time so this C&D winner is taken to emerge on top at the chief expense of Smart Boyo who also wasn’t seen to best effect at Lingfield last time out Recent C&D second Easter Icon can also have a say in an open handicap.
