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

THEME PARK may have disappointed on his first start for new connections at Redcar last month, but he was entitled to need the outing so Nigel Tinkler’s charge can make a winning handicap debut. Escarpment is another venturing into handicaps for the first time so he may emerge as the main danger after an encouraging reappearance, with the consistent Maximilian Caesar rounding off the shortlist

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): R Hannon (36 wins from 290 runners, 12%) runs BATTAAH

TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): R Hannon (7 wins from 60 runners, 12%) runs BATTAAH

LONGEST TRAVELLER: BATTAAH trained by R Hannon, Marlborough, 184 miles.

All bar one are newcomers, and the market should tell a tale, but MATLOOB cost 6 figures as a yearling and is bred to be very sharp, so he gets the nod as things stand Elite Status has a similar profile, an even more expensive yearling and pedigree all speed. Battaah went off at pretty short odds on debut and shaped quite well, so he’s much respected.

RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): K Ryan (17 wins from 166 runners, 10%) runs FAST AND LOOSE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G Boughey (7 wins from 31 runners, 23%) runs POCKET THE PROFIT WEIGHTWATCHER: VENTUROUS won off a handicap mark of 95, his rating is now down 9lb to 86.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ABERAMA GOLD trained by K Dalgleish, Carluke, 231 miles.

FAST AND LOOSE ended 2022 on the up and resumes on an attractive mark too so Kevin Ryan’s 4-y-o is strongly fancied to make a winning return. C&D scorer Aberama Gold is also weighted to have a big say and rated second best ahead of PocketThe Profit, who wasn’t seen to best effect when seventh at Wolverhampton last time

VALSAD’S truncated but promising 2022 campaign ended with a good third in a Class 2 handicap off this mark over 1 3/4m at Haydock in July Dropping back in trip looks a good move and he may well have more to offer as a 4-y-o. Another who is likely to appreciate going back down in trip is Haarar, who probably found 2m too much of a test at Nottingham. He is second choice ahead of Matchless and Billy No Mates.

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!
