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 An open goal for HANG IN THERE and it will be disappointing if he doesn’t score.

A smart hurdler, he jumped better (albeit to the left) when opening his account over fences in a 3-runner event at Uttoxeter last month and this is a weaker race. Touchthesoul is the pick for the forecast.

RACE SUMMARY

ELIOS D’OR returned to form to score in emphatic fashion at Ludlow last month and is taken to repeat last year’s success in this. Ecu de la Noverie showed a bit more encouragement from his reduced mark at Uttoxeter so is next best ahead of Texard, who made a respectable start for this yard at Aintree.

RACE SUMMARY

TOPOFTHECOTSWOLDS was in front and going best before taking a nasty spill 3 out at Fakenham last month and, provided he’s none the worse just over 3 weeks on, Nigel Twiston-Davies’ charge can gain compensation and notch a fourth success over the larger obstacles. Via Dolorosa filled the runner-up spot on all 3 outings last month and he can continue that trend here, with Soldier of Love also fancied to go well back in handicap company.

HORSE WELFARE It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected whilst a diagnosis of the injury is made by one of the three veterinary surgeons deployed around the course. The screens are designed to afford privacy during this diagnosis.

RACE SUMMARY

NAZWA has stepped up for the fitting of cheekpieces/tackling longer trips in handicaps of late and, in receipt of his handy 4-y-o allowance once more, could be the way to go in his bid to complete the hat-trick. Coal Stock has thrived since joining the Tizzard Team and is feared though, whilst it’s too soon to be writing off Paul Nicholls’Tulin.
