KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Star Ratings Explained

Each horse is given a star rating, these are defined below:

HHHHH Selected to win the race

HHHHI Good chance of being placed

HHHII By no means without a chance

HHIII At least one or two hold stronger claims

HIIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope IIIII 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 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

LONGEST TRAVELLER: CLONGOWES trained by D Steele, Henfield, 187 miles.

The vote goes to SURREY BELLE, who made it third time lucky on the all-weather when scoring over C&D at the end of last season. She remains both unexposed at this trip and on a fair mark following a 3lb rise in the weights. Gastronomy opened his account in decisive fashion at Newcastle recently and looks a big danger on the back of that. Fox Flame was also a winner last time out and should be in the mix, too.

LIGHT UP OUR STARS hasn’t been at his very best in recent starts, but he returns to the scene of his last success operating from a much-reduced mark and could just be worth chancing to bounce back. Devasboy in a refitted visor is another worth a look with lightly-raced pair Haalim and Daffin others in the mix.
