KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Star Ratings Explained
S Br
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:
Selected to win the race. Good chance of being placed By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims.
Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. 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 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

RACE SUMMARY
ELEANOR CROSS was again only just denied at Kempton 2 weeks ago and this looks a good opportunity for her to go one better back up in trip. Caustic is 6lb worse off having beaten the selection at Lingfield but this son of Galileo is open to further improvement and may pose the biggest threat again.

RACE SUMMARY
ASSESSMENT has been absent since being pulled up at Sandown last spring but he’d previously looked one to keep firmly on side and this low-mileage 5-y-o could be worth chancing to make a winning return (has gone well fresh) on debut for Archie Watson. Leap Day is running consistently well and feared, along with Tropez Power and Borgi.

RACE SUMMARY
A deserved first taste of success beckons for STOLEN ENCOUNTER, who has improved switched to handicaps with cheekpieces enlisted on his last three starts, most recently finishing a clear second upped to this trip at Chelmsford. The addition of more severe headgear could help eke out a little more from this lightlyraced 4-y-o. Louisiana Bay also deserves to get her head in front and she is feared most ahead of Midnight Shimmer
