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

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (19-24): N Twiston-Davies (9 wins from 35 runners, 26%) runs HIGH TREASON TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): A Charlton (4 wins from 19 runners, 21%) runs YALLA HABIBI LONGEST TRAVELLER: NAVAJO INDY trained by T Symonds, Hentland, 159 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

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. High Treason may emerge as the principal danger.

RACE SUMMARY

Course scorer ART DECCO figures on a handy mark so is worth forgiving his lesser effort at Exeter now cheekpieces are applied and gets the vote. Ludlow runner-up Haut Folin is feared most, although both Well Dick and Pilot Show could have a say too in a very open contest.

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.

RACE SUMMARY

HE’S A LATCHICO shaped well in finishing clear of the rest with a fellow improver at Lingfield last month and is a confident selection to maintain his unbeaten record at this track. 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. Bucephalus is proving consistent and makes most appeal of the rest.

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.

RACE SUMMARY

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.

RACE SUMMARY

TIME TO DAZZLE took a significant step forward when runner-up on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter last time and he boasts excellent claims of going one better at the possible expense of Ceejaybe, who ran well at Huntingdon last week. Goguenard is another big danger.
