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

A fairly useful winner in bumpers, NAVAJO INDY has shaped up well in finishing runner-up both starts over hurdles and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to open his account in this sphere.

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT FONTWELL PARK Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital. It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.

Fairly useful Flat winner Torneo is easily most interesting of the opposition now switched to a handicap armed with a handy 4-y-o weight allowance.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (19-24): G L Moore (76 wins from 353 runners, 22%) runs CALL OFF THE DOGS, FLAMELCO & WALK IN THE WILD TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G L Moore (5 wins from 21 runners, 24%) runs CALL OFF THE DOGS, FLAMELCO & WALK IN THE WILD LONGEST TRAVELLER: LIGHTONTHEWING trained by Mrs S Gardner, Longdown, 156 miles. RACE SUMMARY
Gary Moore holds quite a strong hand and, while WALK IN THE WILD hasn’t been in top form, he’s a likely candidate to bounce back after a wind op/in a first-time tongue tie, so he’s the tentative choice. West Orchard arrives on the back of a solid showing and is feared along with Valirann Gold.

Gary Moore’s SANGIOVESE appeals as the sort to keep on improving now sent into handicaps and can make light of 7lb rise for his emphatic Southwell success. Olly Murphy’s Huntingdon victor Bitsnbuckles also has better days ahead of him and rates the obvious threat with C&D winner Bobalot and handicap debutant How And Ever in the mix too in an intriguing contest. 1-2-3: 1.SANGIOVESE 2.BITSNBUCKLES (IRE) 3.BOBALOT KEY colours
