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.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): S C Williams (26 wins from 213 runners, 12%) runs SANSANETTI TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): N Scholfield (2 wins from 14 runners, 14%) runs LUAN WEIGHTWATCHER: BULLDOG SPIRIT won off a handicap mark of 67, his rating is now down 7lb to 60. LONGEST TRAVELLER: SANSANETTI trained by S C Williams, Newmarket, 125 miles. RACE SUMMARY
PHAEDRA is worth another chance to confirm the promise of her Doncaster run given more of a break this time. Sansanetti is the obvious threat having landed a gamble in good style on her return to the all-weather last month.
