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.
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 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

A host with chances in a competitive opener. GALA DE CORTON should have more to come for his top yard so gets the nod to follow up last month’s 2m course success. Kavanaghs Cross, Romeo Brown, for whom the return to a longer trip should suit, Creative Control and recent C&D scorer Inishbiggle are others likely to be in the mix. 1-2-3: 1.GALA DE CORTON (FR) 2.KAVANAGHS CROSS (IRE) 3.ROMEO BROWN KEY colours

Most of these arrive with question marks against them, so this looks an excellent opportunity for TIDE TIMES to open his account over fences on the back of his excellent Exeter third. Roque It has the potential to make his mark here if shrugging off a lesser effort at Wincanton, while Wigglesworth is another who can have say if his jumping holds up. 1-2-3: 1.TIDE TIMES (IRE) 2.ROQUE IT (IRE) 3.WIGGLESWORTH (IRE) KEY colours

WESTERN VICTORY thrived in Ireland late last year and, while her stable debut at Ascot was a touch underwhelming, she’s capable of getting back to winning ways under a slightly more conservative ride. Miranda battled on well to land a handicap off 143 at Ludlow when last seen in December, so she strikes as the biggest threat ahead of Anna Bunina. 1-2-3: 1.WESTERN VICTORY (IRE) 2.MIRANDA (IRE) 3.ANNA BUNINA (FR) KEY colours

RACE SUMMARY DEBECE shaped like a well-handicapped horse on his first start for Dan Skelton when second at Sandown in March so could be up to defying a 10-month absence. Fusil Raffles was very competitive on his handicap bow at Cheltenham despite making a bad mistake so must be considered off 1lb lower, while Cap du Nord is potentially well treated having finished third in this off 10lb higher 12 months ago. 1-2-3: 1.DEBECE 2.FUSIL RAFFLES (FR) 3.CAP DU NORD (FR) KEY colours

BOLD REACTION scored in Irish points at the second attempt and has joined a top stable subsequently, so he could make a successful start under Rules for all this is by no means a weak race.
