Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race. HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HIIII Can be given little or no chance. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
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

FOR PLEASURE came clear readily for his new yard at Fakenham last week and looks good for the follow up under a penalty given he’s been rated much higher. Sambezi has form figures of 121 over the Fontwell hurdles and is feared most on his first start for 7 months. 1-2-3: 1.FOR PLEASURE (IRE) 2.SAMBEZI (FR) 3.NASHVILLE NIPPER (IRE) KEY colours

LONGEST TRAVELLER: CHANTILLY ROSE trained by D Skelton, Alcester, 126 miles. RACE SUMMARY
NATURALLY HIGH hasn’t shown much for a while but he now drops markedly in grade from a much-reduced mark for Gary Moore and a revival wouldn’t come as a surprise. Chantilly Rose is potentially very interesting now going handicapping up in trip and King Otis can also go well again. 1-2-3: 1.NATURALLY HIGH (FR) 2.CHANTILLY ROSE 3.KING OTIS (IRE) KEY colours
