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.

HANDICAPS

Once a horse’s ability has been assessed by the Official BHA Handicapper it is given an official rating. This is a judgement that determines how much weight it shall carry compared to the other runners. In simple terms a horse rated 100 carries 2lbs less than a horse rated 102. A rating over 130 is well above average and the winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup is normally rated over 150 Most handicap races have an upper rating limit to encourage runners of similar ability to take part and make a competitive race e.g 0-110, and a 28lb weight-range

HURDLE RACES

Hurdles are made of ash with a birch filling, with foam padding on all legs and top rails. They are 3ft high and placed in the ground at an attractive angle to encourage horses to jump them fluently At Perth there are five flights of Hurdles on the course Eight are jumped in a two mile race, nine in a race over two miles and five furlongs and eleven in a race over three miles.

STEEPLE CHASE

Steeplechase fences are made from hardwood frames stuffed tightly with birch. When making a fence the birch is packed in at a height of approximately 6ft, then cut down to a maximum height of 3ft 6” There are five ‘plain fences’ on the course at Perth and two ‘open ditches’. An Open Ditch is the same height as a plain fence but has a small ditch in front of the fence to make them a bigger test for the horse and rider At Perth there are two open ditches on the course, the first fence in the straight and the first down the back straight. Perth is one of the last remaining racecourses to have a Water Jump, this is situated in front of the main Grandstand and is much smaller than the other fences, with a 6ft wide water jump behind a small birch fence. There are eight steeplechase fences on the course. Twelve are jumped in a race over two miles, fifteen over two miles and five furlongs and nineteen in races over three miles.

WEIGHT FOR AGE RACES

These races are designed to provide a fair and competitive contest before a horse is allocated a weight, according to his ability, to run in a Handicap These races are therefore normally for young horses aged from 3 to 5-y-o. As a 5-y-o is deemed to be stronger than a 3-y-o he/she will be made a to carry a little more weight. Once a horse has won a weight for age race he/she will be asked to carry a ‘penalty’; this is normally an additional 7lbs. Once a horse has won or run three times in a Weight for Age race he can be assessed and given a weight in a Handicap Race.

Obvious chance if he doesn’t get too far back. TFRHHHHI BHA146

Points scoring: Points are awarded to the first, second and third in all races run at Perth throughout the season. 1st = 10 points, 2nd = 5 points, 3rd = 3 points. Winning Champions of each category will be presented with a prize provided by Edinburgh Gin.

GINGER MAIL has had a solid campaign and he won’t need to pull out much more for first-time cheekpieces to get his head back in front. The reliable Cuban Cigar bagged a nice prize at Musselburgh last month and is likely to go well again, while Letterston Lady might have needed last month’s comeback run at Market Rasen and is an interesting one for handicaps.

PLAY SMARTER

CONCETTO lost his unbeaten chasing record at the hands of another progressive novice at Ludlow, but he looks the one who could still be ahead of his mark given his lightly-raced profile so is well worth another chance. Gentleman de Mai is another unexposed sort who’s taken well to fences so rates the main threat ahead of Destiny Is All and Geryville

RESPLENDENT GREY has to concede weight all round but he looked a good prospect when going in at the first time of asking in this sphere at Wetherby so gets the nod. Charles St has the form to play a big part but looks booked for minor honours once more ahead of newcomer Bix Beiderbecke.

HERE COMES THE MAN created an excellent impression when making a winning chasing debut at Newcastle so Rose Dobbin’s son of Flemensfirth is fancied to defy a 8lb rise and make it 2-2 in this sphere. Bridge North also went in at the first time of asking in this sphere at Newbury and is feared most ahead of the handilyweighted Captain Quint and Huntingdon-scorer Kakamora.

PLAY SMARTER

In a race where few arrive with compelling claims the suggestion is HARIBO COLLONGES who seemed to have his stamina stretched over 25f at Carlisle last time and his Market Rasen third prior to that is solid form in the context of this race The Bandit pieced it all together at Southwell last time and is second choice ahead of Rory And Me, who might have needed the outing last time and has Brian Hughes up Rose Dobbin’s Pats Dream is a potential improver in handicaps.
