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.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: LONDON EYE trained by C Dwyer, Newmarket, 132 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

MISTER SWEETS made an encouraging start in this sphere at Ffos Las and can be expected to step up on that back over a more suitable trip. He gets the nod ahead of London Eye, who will be a threat if able to reproduce the form of his latest hurdles start now switched to fences. Lock’s Corner needs to bounce back in a major way, but he has fallen a long way in the weights and is dangerous to fully discount. On Springs looks vulnerable up 4lb for his latest success.

SECOND RACE 1.35 TWO MILES ABOUT SEVEN FURLONGS (2M 7F) FOR FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

LONGEST TRAVELLER: D’JANGO trained by D Pipe, Wellington, 116 miles.

RACE SUMMARY GAME SOCKS stepped up as expected on his chase debut form when edged out only late on in a C&D novice 17 days ago and, operating from the mark he was successful from over hurdles, he could be the way to go. The hat-trick seeking D’Jjango may emerge next best, whilst Thunderstruck is an intriguing contender on just his second start over fences from a much-reduced mark.

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.

Please do not always assume the worse, and at all times the horse’s welfare is our paramount concern.

RACE SUMMARY

BANNISTER bounced back and had plenty in hand when scoring over C&D recently and it’s worth taking the chance that he can back that up for all he’s not the most consistent.

The upwardly-mobile Noahthirtywored is an obvious danger and Kolisi also makes the shortlist.

RACE SUMMARY Cases can be made for several of these. Marginal preference is for INN THE BULL, who found things happening too quickly over 2m here last time and is better judged on his solid effort off this mark at Ludlow in May. Irish-import Mise Raftaire is next on the list ahead of Come Dancing, while the likes of Justified, Kuraka and Rare Clouds all make each-way appeal.

RACE SUMMARY Provided MONTY’S AWARD can put a slightly below-par effort behind him, Andy Irvine’s charge gets the tentative nod to double her tally over timber having scored at this track back in 2018.

Belle Jour highlighted as to why he’s been an infrequent winner at Newton Abbot last month but he’s feared most back over the smaller obstacles. Bagan and last week’s C&D winner Stripe of Honour can fight out minor honours.
