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

If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY

Given that he goes well fresh and with his yard in terrific form, GUY is the most appealing option. He’s only managed to win one of his 14 starts over fences, but his overall record in this sphere is pretty solid and he’s 7lb lower in the weights compared to when runner-up in a Market Rasen handicap chase on his reappearance last season. Master Dancer is worth a second look on his first chase start on these shores and is second choice ahead of Fairway Freddy

LONGEST TRAVELLER: I SHUT THAT D’OR trained by J Tizzard, Sherborne, 97 miles.

RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY

Four chasing newcomers so not the easiest race to assess but Chris Gordon’s RED WINDSOR showed fairly useful and consistent form over hurdles last term so is fancied to come out on top. I Shut That d’Or could emerge as the chief threat ahead of Le Patron in a contest where the market should also prove revealing

RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY

MR FREEDOM is a highly likeable type who enjoyed plenty of success last season and, with the prospect of a solid gallop, he’s capable of making a successful return to this sphere. Fifty Ball and Thirtyfourstitches are likely dangers, although the latter could face competition for the lead.

TOAD OF TOAD HALL is enjoying a very good season and fancied to bag a third success on the back of his career-best victory here last month. Plumpton-scorer Tamaris rates the main danger ahead of Gary Moore’s chasing-debutant Abingworth.

RACE SUMMARY

SEA INVASION cost six figures after a promising debut in points and he’s joined a stable that often has similar types ready for their debut in bumpers, so he gets the nod over Faha Belle, who seems likely to improve. Court In The Act also makes some appeal.
