Star Ratings Explained

Eachhorse hasbeen given astarrating, theseare definedbelow:

HHHHH Selectedtowin therace.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed

HHHII By no meansout of thereckoning but atleast one or twoholdstrongerclaims

HHIII Unlikelytowin butnot totallywithout hope

HIIII Canbegiven 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

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): G L Moore (79 wins from 373 runners, 21%) runs INNESTON TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G L Moore (3 wins from 12 runners, 25%) runs INNESTON LONGEST TRAVELLER: FIRESTREAM trained by A Honeyball, Beaminster, 114 miles.

There’s plenty of depth to this novice but the drop in trip could be ideal for FIRESTREAM given how he goes through his races and he’s capable of defying a penalty at the second attempt. Inneston could be a big improver so he commands respect, with Plumpton scorer Churchills Boy also of interest

RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY

COOLVALLA has proved a different proposition over fences, maintaining his unbeaten record when successful here on Boxing Day, and he can go on to land the four-timer with further progress to come. Juniper also arrives having won her last 3 starts so she isn’t taken lightly, while Echo Watt can give another good account.

COMMITMENT TO HORSE WELFARE

We are committed to minimising risks, dealing quickly and humanely with injuries and maintaining the highest level of care At every meeting there are three specially qualified Equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all horses in action

A British Horseracing Authority Veterinary Officer is also in attendance working closely with the racecourse veterinary team. This is to ensure that any injury to a horse is recorded, so that it can be monitored when it returns to racing.

It is now a standard practice for screens to be erected around any horse receiving veterinary attention on the course This does not reflect the severity of an injury, but allows the vet some privacy in which to administer treatment and provides the horse with a calmer environment Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): P Nicholls (32 wins from 77 runners, 42%) runs MULLINS BAY & SISTER SAINT

LONGEST TRAVELLER: IN D’OR trained by V Williams, Hereford, 153 miles.

A few in with a squeak but IN D’OR has already run to a fairly useful level in France, and having changed hands for €140,000 in May last year, he’s fancied to make a winning start on UK/yard debut. Mullins Bay was placed on both starts in bumpers and he may emerge as the main danger on hurdling debut, with Our Champ rounding off the shortlist
