Star Ratings Explained Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

HIIII 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 nonhandicaps 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. For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating.

Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

RACE SUMMARY

The hat-trick beckons for BEYOND THE CLOUDS, who had to work hard in the end to maintain his unbeaten record over fences at Perth earlier this month but remains capable of better as a chaser. Tomorrow Mystery was a good hurdler and the cheekpieces go on for chase debut. Pisgah Pike gets his chase debut after he was last seen being hampered at Newbury two out.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ORSINO trained by P Bowen, Haverfordwest, 176 miles.

RACE SUMMARY A very trappy handicap with the tentative vote in favour of REGABY. He got no further than the first on chase debut at Market Rasen earlier this month but he was strong in the betting on that occasion and, having ran well over hurdles prior to that, he’s worth another chance in this sphere.

Royal Plaza and Caro des Flos head up the dangers, whilst Conceal demands a market check.

RACE SUMMARY

Hard to look beyond KINGSTON KING, who landed a gamble easily despite some mistakes at Newton Abbot last week. The shorter trip here should be fine and he can rack up a sequence for David Rees. Cape Robin has handicaps in him judged on his Ffos Las run. Write It Down ended a losing run at Warwick 5 weeks ago but is far from sure to back that performance up.

RACE SUMMARY

Plenty in with a shout in a well-contested chase. UNAI probably went off a bit hard for his own good over slightly further at Fontwell last time and is taken to show he’s still on a workable mark. Katy Price’s Out For Justice and recent C&D second Cobra Angel head the many dangers.

The screens are designed to afford privacy during this diagnosis.
