Star Ratings Explained

Br

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 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

You must be 18

Cases can be made for several, but RIVAS ROB ROY wasted no time getting back to form when a close fifth at Newcastle just over 3 weeks ago, so he gets the nod to notch a second success of the year at the expense of the consistent Ballybaymoonshiner, who has filled the runner-up spot on his last couple of starts and may have to settle for silver once again. Diamond Cottage rounds off the shortlist.

TASTING NOTES

BOON DOGGLE - ABV 4.2%

A blonde and luscious ale - the perfect excuse. Brewed with the finest English Pale Malt, First Gold and Fuggles Hops, for a tell tale fresh crisp taste and delectable twist of citrus.

FORTY NINER - ABV 4.9%

Light, fresh floral bouquet. Rounded malt in the mouth with deep bittersweet finish and a balanced level of bitterness. Golden full bodied malted beer.

OLD THUMPER - ABV 5.1%

Peppery, spicy aroma with a hint of apples. Luscious balance of grain and hop in the mouth. Bitter sweet finish with delicate fruit notes. Warm, rounded yet surprisingly delicate pale strong beer

RAZOR BACK - ABV 3.8% CASK - 3.6% BOTTLE

Tempting hop aroma with fruit notes. Good malt feel in the mouth, dry, tangy fruit finish. Delicious, easy drinking slightly tart pale bitter.

Provided he is fit enough to do himself justice following 10 months off MOUNTBATTEN could be the answer He is by far the least exposed of these and the fact that his yard is in such good form augurs well.

FIFTH RACE 6.45

ONE MILE ABOUT TWO FURLONGS (9F ABT 207YDS) FOR FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS

THE BEST ODDS GUARANTEED DAILY AT VICKERS.BET HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6)

Total prize fund £6500 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £2684, 2nd £1342, 3rd £671, 4th £335, 5th £168. (Penalty Value £3402.10) 9 Eliminated Under Rules (I)9 and (I)10. SS

It’s probably best to overlook TAWTHEEF’s latest performance at Wolverhampton in December and he is taken to make a winning seasonal reappearance, just as he did in 2022. Last-time-out winners Stormingin & Star of Epsom will likely prove popular but Seattle King who was a good second at Yarmouth last weekend, and four-time C&D winner Junoesque rate the main dangers.
