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

RACE STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): N Mulholland (24 wins from 176 runners, 14%) runs SINURITA TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): Amy Murphy (2 wins from 14 runners, 14%) runs MOIRAI LONGEST TRAVELLER: QUIET THUNDER trained by S Hollinshead, Upper Longdon, 170 miles.

SINURITA remains with few miles on the clock and signalled she’s ready to get off the mark with an excellent second at Bangor last month. Veteran Kentford Mallard could emerge as the chief threat to Neil Mulholland’s mare after a break, although in-form pair Eaton Lady and Quiet Thunder need factoring in too.

RACE SUMMARY

GRAIN OF HOPE had little hope reeling in a rival who kept out of trouble on hurdles debut over C&D 17 days ago and the 14lb she receives from previous-winner Two Past Eight may prove to be decisive. Limelight can’t be totally ruled out, either.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: FAIRLAWN FLYER trained by P Bowen, Haverfordwest, 264 miles.

SUMMARY

Only four runners but a trappy contest, with ORGANDI chanced to resume winning ways off a lowly mark on her first go in a 0-120 in this sphere. Fairlawn Flyer’s saddle slipped at Southwell on Thursday and he’d previously won at Cartmel so he’s respected.

RACE SUMMARY

This looks a good opportunity for ZORAN to bounce back from a lesser run at Worcester and land a second win of the season. Bensini might be the one to give him most to do if taking to chasing at the first time of asking.

RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY

CHESKY’S IN MILAN didn’t go with a great deal of promise at Ascot on debut but she’s entitled to have strengthened up in the 6 months since and so she’s worth taking a chance on in a very thin race. HubbleTrubble and Little Madam fit a similar mould in that they could leave their debut form well behind but the market should be informative.
