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

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ROAD TO ROME trained by P Bowen, Haverfordwest, 295 miles. RACE SUMMARY
It might be worth forgiving TANARPINO his run on very testing ground at Haydock just after Christmas and he might be up to defying top weight if he can recapture the level he showed when runner-up to a progressive sort at Bangor prior to that. Vivas has a solid record fresh so is respected back from a break. The Venetia Williams-trained First Figaro also makes the shortlist. 1-2-3: 1.TANARPINO 2.VIVAS (FR) 3.FIRST FIGARO (GER) KEY colours

MIDNIGHT CALLISTO is finally getting her act together over hurdles and given the assessor hasn’t reacted to her easy novice win a month ago, further success beckons. Merry Mistress doesn’t do a great deal off the bridle but is clearly very competitive at this level and is feared most.

CUSTOMERS OF THE BOARDS Customers of the Boards and Rails bookmakers should check their itemised tickets immediately upon receipt, as mistakes cannot be rectified after the “off”.

HORSE WELFARE COMES FIRST AT DONCASTER At every race meeting at Doncaster our top priority is the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. We have a dedicated team of highly qualified vets and doctors following the action at all times and a horse ambulance in attendance at every meeting. Use of Screens It is our policy to erect green screens around any horse requiring veterinary attention. This does NOT reflect the severity of any injury, but does help to provide a calm environment, in which the vet is better able to treat the horse. Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse!

NUMITOR had a rare off day at Sandown last time, but he’d developed a progressive profile over fences prior to that and, back in calmer waters, he’s capable of getting back to winning ways. Last-time-out winner The Unit is a danger and the well-treated Joke Dancer should make his presence felt if able to build on his latest outing.

FIFTH RACE 4.15 TWO MILES ABOUT THREE AND A HALF FURLONGS (2M 3F 88YDS) FOR NOVICE FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS FILLIES AND MARES
THE VIRGIN BET EBF MARES’ ‘NATIONAL HUNT’ NOVICES’ HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4) (Qualifier for The EBF Mares’ NH Novices’ Hurdle Series) Total race value £10000 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £4173, 2nd £2087, 3rd £1043, 4th £522. (Penalty Value £5446)
RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): D Skelton (21 wins from 108 runners, 19%) runs SIGNAL POINT TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D Skelton (5 wins from 32 runners, 16%) runs SIGNAL POINT FANCY THAT: A King won this race in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The stable runs MOONAMACAROONA today. LONGEST TRAVELLER: MOONAMACAROONA trained by A King, Barbury Castle, 176 miles. RACE SUMMARY MOONAMACAROONA has yet to strike over hurdles, but she posted her best effort yet when runner-up in a C&D handicap last time and is taken to go one better. The unbeaten Corey’s Courage remains with potential and is an obvious danger, but she’ll need to be pretty useful to get the better of the selection under a double penalty. Nextdoortoalice will ensure that this is by no means a two-horse race. 1-2-3: 1.MOONAMACAROONA 2.COREY’S COURAGE 3.NEXTDOORTOALICE (IRE) KEY colours

SIXTH RACE 4.45 ABOUT THREE MILES (2M 7F 214YDS) FOR NOVICE FIVE YRS OLD AND UPWARDS
THE VIRGIN BET NOVICES’ HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 4) (GBB RACE) Total race value £10900 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £3964, 2nd £1983, 3rd £991, 4th £496, 5th £280. (Penalty Value £5173.70) Weights raised 3lb and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.

GET YOUR OWN was below par last time, but had been shaping up well over fences, the form of his fourth here in December looking strong. He may remain well-treated on the promise of those efforts, and a chance is taken he’ll be back to his best. Animal won at Fakenham in January and proved he can compete from this mark last time, whilst Bitasweetsymphony can fill the frame.

TWOSHOTSOFTEQUILA arrives at the top of his game and can race off the same mark as when an excellent second at Sedgefield so gets the nod in a competitive handicap. Uttoxeterscorer Sullivan’s Brow has more to offer now going back up in trip and is greatly feared, although fellow recent winners Enlighten and Son of The Somme both warrant plenty of respect too. 1-2-3: 1.TWOSHOTSOFTEQUILA (IRE) 2.SULLIVAN’S BROW (IRE) 3.ENLIGHTEN KEY colours
