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
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.
HIIII Can be given little or no chance.
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.

On behalf of everyone at Bath Racecourse, we would like to extend you a verywarm welcome to our Beckford Stakes Day, kindly sponsored by European Breeders Fund, Dragon Bet and Bath Holiday Rentals.
We are set for a wonderful afternoon of racing, with 7seven exciting flat races taking place throughout the daywith the highlight being the Beckford Stakes at 3.10pm. This listed race, has a prize pot of £65,000 and last yearwas won by One Evening who recently lined up in the Group One, Prix de Royallieu in Longchamp, highlighting the depth of quality that the race will have. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our Owners and Trainers who have chosen to run their horses here at Bath throughout this season.Your continued support is greatly appreciated, and we wish you an enjoyable time here with us today.
Today’s Beckford Stakes looks like a ultra competitive renewal with three horses currently rated over 100 in addition to two time Grade 1 Hurdle winner, Marie’s Rock lining up for Nicky Henderson. Rossa Ryan and Ralph Beckett are teaming up with Forest Fairy in the race following recent victory in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe with their superstar filly, Bluestocking. I would like to congratulate both on their recent success and I am sure theywill get a warm welcome from today’s crowd.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome today’s sponsors, The European Breeders Fund, Dragon Bet & Bath Holiday Rentals. I would like to thank them for their generosity, and wish them an enjoyable afternoon.
We race again on Monday 21st and Thursday 31st Octoberwhich will be our final two meetings of a very enjoyable season here at Bath. I would like to thank all of my team for their hard work through the season to date, forwhich they all deserve enormous credit.

It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website www.bath-racecourse.co.uk.

This is likely to go the way of RORYROCKET, who shaped well amid greenness when runner-up on debut in a Brighton maiden and he will be more street-wise this time. It was rather surprising that Bust A Moon contested a 7f race on his recent introduction at Chelmsford given his speedy pedigree, and he is likely to be seen in an altogether better light now down to the minimum trip. Think of A Name and newcomer Mini Mac are others to consider.

FIRENZE ROSA has failed to fire the last twice but the addition of blinkers and forecast soft surface may prove to be a winning combination for this 9-y-o. She shades preference ahead of Sisters In The Sky, who scored off a 1lb higher mark here during the summer and he put in a good late work following a tardy start when third over C&D last week. Louis Treize and You Are Everything can do battle for minor honours.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (19-24): D Evans (14 wins from 109 runners, 13%) runs THERE’S THE DOOR TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): R Beckett (12 wins from 47 runners, 26%) runs FOREST FAIRY & MERIBELLA LONGEST TRAVELLERS: FAIRY GLEN trained by S & E Crisford, LMAY trained by J & T Gosden, SINOLOGY trained by D M Simcock, all Newmarket, 155 miles.
FAIRY GLEN should have more to come as her stamina is drawn out and it’s worth taking a chance that she can cope with ground that is likely to be much softer than she’s faced previously Dual Grade 1 hurdle winner Marie’s Rock showed very useful form on her Flat debut back in May and is second choice ahead of Lmay It also wouldn’t come as a surprise to see Forest Fairy resume her progression with her sights lowered after a break.

Second choice is Far From Dandy, who had clearly learnt plenty from his debut when getting off the mark in good style at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago. Course winner Super Mirage can edge out sole filly Tap Dancer for minor honours.
