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

FILLY FODEN was a creditable third off a 6lb higher mark on her sole previous start on the all-weather at Chelmsford in August and, with the soft ground probably to blame for her below par display at Bath last time, she could be the answer. Kuiama put in a good shift when runner-up at the aforementioned Essex track recently and she has to be feared, for all that dropping back to the minimum trip is of dubious benefit.

PIERCHIC is bred to be useful and might be able to see off twice-placed Albaydaa and make a winning debut, with confidence in the Godolphin filly increased should the betting vibes be strong

WEIGHTWATCHER: CIVIL LAW won off a handicap mark of 83, his rating is now down 7lb to 76.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: LIKEALOT trained by R Beckett, Kimpton Down, 141 miles.

SOLARIZE only made his debut last month but he has quickly got the hang of things, opening his account at the third attempt in good style over 1 1/4m at Chelmsford 12 days ago The Masar colt has been handed a fair-looking mark for this handicap debut and stepping back up in trip here can help unlock further improvement. Likealot has been knocking on the door and she rates the main danger ahead of Civil Law.
