It is policy at this racecourse for screens to be erected when a horse requires veterinary treatment on the track. This is to offer some privacy and calm for both horse and vet and does not automatically imply that a fatality has occurred

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

WEIGHTWATCHER: MOUNT MOGAN won off a handicap mark of 75, his rating is now down 13lb to 62.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: FIELDSMAN & RIVER WHARFE trained by T Carroll, Cropthorne, 175 miles.

RIVER WHARFE’s profile is somewhat patchy but he wasn’t beaten far at Lingfield last time and could be worth siding with back on turf with Tom Marquand booked. If Amathus breaks smartly and is able to build on his reappearance spin over this C&D 3 weeks ago, he will be a threat, while Diamond Cottage and Fieldsman are others worthy of mention in an open-looking race.

Preference is for MICKS DREAM, who put in a good shift when runner-up over 7f here last time and both the return to this trip and the addition of cheekpieces should help. Mostawaa looks dangerous on the back of a solid recent effort at Hamilton and he is second choice ahead of Nasim.
