Star Ratings Explained

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:

★★★★★ Selected to win the race

★★★★✩ Good chance of being placed.

13. Breeder 14. Trainer 15. Jockey 16. Sponsor 15

★★★✩✩ By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims.

★★✩✩✩ Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

★✩✩✩✩ Can be given little or no chance.

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 non-handicaps 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 details of Owner, Trainer, Breeder, Sponsor & Colours are highlighted on the card. If you are unsure about reading the card, remember to ask at a tote window for advice.

for novice four yrs old and upwards x Total prize fund £9000 Owners Prize Money. 1st £3635, 2nd £1817, 3rd £909, 4th £455, 5th £227. (Penalty Value £4752.90)

Race Description

Novice races tend to be for younger horses that are still learning their way over hurdles or fences and allow them to race against each other before graduating up the ranks. Horses are classed as a novice if they have yet to win a race, under the respective code, prior to the ofﬁcial start of the season, towards the end of April although for wins between 1st March and the end of the season they may continue to contest novice races until the end of the following October This particular two miles and three furlongs novices’ handicap hurdle race is for horses aged four-years-old and upwards which have not won more than three hurdle races.

TIMEFORMVIEWFair maiden on the Flat and more like it over hurdles with a brace of fourth-place finishes in handicaps around 17f in the autumn. However, form has subsequently dipped and needs to get back on track now fitted with a first-time tongue strap. TFRHHIII BHA78

Hood worn by No. 4. Tongue Strap worn by No. 1. Running for the ﬁrst time since Wind Surgery No. 1.

Stewards Note: DON’T TELL ROSIE: Following its run on 4/2/2025 it was reported that the horse ran keenly in the early stages. TORRE DEL ORO: Following its run on 12/12/2024 it was reported that the horse was found to have bled.

The two 5-y-o mares, ASK ME ANOTHER and Don’t Tell Rosie, appear to possess the greatest potential and could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter appears to have been gradually brought along with handicaps very much in mind and she is of strong interest now pitched into one off what looks a fair opening mark. However, she may ﬁnd Ask Me Another too hot to handle following that rival’s good reappearance/handicap debut second at Huntingdon. Holeshot is best of the rest.

Race Description

The term ‘maiden’ inspires thoughts of damsels in distress but in horse racing terms it takes on a different meaning. When a horse is referred to as a maiden, be it a colt or a ﬁlly, it simply means that they have yet to win a race. Many of the runners aged four-years-old and upwards in this two mile and 104 yards race will still be inexperienced over hurdles and almost certainly improve for the racecourse experience that they gain today

Blacksamssenorita failed to justify favouritism when only ﬁnishing third at Exeter in November, but she might be worth another chance on only her second start over hurdles. However, the vote goes to CORNISH STORM, who split a pair of subsequent winners when hitting the woodwork over C&D in February last year The six-year-old had a recent spin on the Flat to blow the cobwebs away, ﬁnishing third at Kempton, and looks primed to strike. Public Enemy rates best of the remainder

The Great British Bonus (GBB) incentivises and rewards with breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies by paying out bonuses of up to £100,000 per filly. And now with GBBPlus to further incentivise staying fillies and chasing mares, there are more reasons than ever to breed, buy and race British. Majority funded by the HBLB.

That said, both The Final Word and Maximum Offers have reasons to recommend them, and are respected, as is Duffry Trix.

Race Description

This is a two mile and seven furlong handicap chase race for ﬁve-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 110. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 140 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 135.
