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.

A second outing in quick succession after a lay-off is always a slight concern but SISTERANDBROTHER was nicely clear of the rest when a narrowly denied at Bath last Friday and looks well treated off the same mark.The unexposed Knights Affair was better than the result on his Ayr reappearance and is second choice ahead of the returning She’s A Novelty.

The stable runs ENGLISH HARBOUR today. LONGEST TRAVELLER: INDELIBLE trained by R Beckett, Kimpton Down, 212 miles.

ENGLISH HARBOUR showed plenty when beaten only by a very smart prospect in a maiden at Yarmouth last month and shades the vote over Amphius, who also made a promising start when fourth in a maiden won by Dante winner Economics. Sword was a big eyecatcher when fourth in a novice at Kempton in the autumn and is another to consider in what looks a strong novice.
