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 SUMMARY
LOVELY DARK ANGEL looked very much in need of the experience and shaped well in the circumstances on her recent debut when running on late into fourth so looks the way to go here, despite holding a wide berth. The consistent My Maria rates much the biggest threat, although she again could have to settle for second, unless one of the newcomers proves above average, with Reddy rating the pick.

CURRAHEE didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Newmarket last time and could prove the answer to this tight-knit sprint off a handy-looking mark. Diamondinthedark rates a big threat though with the form of her recent Ffos Las second working out well, while Night Mission and Campenaerts also need factoring in. 1-2-3: 1.CURRAHEE (IRE) 2.DIAMONDINTHEDARK 3.NIGHT MISSION (IRE) KEY colours
