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

A trappy contest but LILTING VERSE still looked a work in progress when coming out fractionally on top at Huntingdon just under 3 weeks ago, so Fergal O’Brien’s mare gets the nod to progress again and take her tally to 2-3 in this sphere. The Kniphand has taken his form up a notch this season, so he’s marginally preferred to Imperial Merlin for the forecast spot

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!

NICKELFORCE impressed when landing each of his first 2 starts over fences and, having unseated just as the race was beginning in earnest at Leicester in his hat-trick bid 12 days ago, he remains one to be interested in given his low-mileage, progressive profile in this sphere. Sageburg County and Pearly Island may be the pair to provide chief resistance.
