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.

The market should be a good indicator as to what’s expected with all five making their chasing debuts. The vote goes to ANYTHINGFORLOVE, who enhanced her excellent strike-rate over hurdles when scoring in a heavy-ground Sandown Grade 2 novice back in February and can make a winning start in this sphere. Nada To Prada shades the vote for the forecast spot, ahead of Little River Bay. 1-2-3: 1.ANYTHINGFORLOVE 2.NADA TO PRADA 3.LITTLE RIVER BAY (IRE) KEY

RACE SUMMARY

This is likely to be fought out by GRACE A VOUS ENKI and Colorado Doc who are both useful over fences, so should be suited by these fixed-brush hurdles on reappearance. The former is that bit more appealing on debut for a top yard, but it’s likely to be a close run thing. On The Bandwagon is the pick of the remainder. 1-2-3: 1.GRACE A VOUS ENKI (FR) 2.COLORADO DOC 3.ON THE BANDWAGON (IRE) KEY colours
