Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:
HHHHH Selected to win the race
HHHHI Good chance of being placed
HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope HIIII Can be given little or no chance.
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.
WHERE TO BET
There are a variety of places to bet at the course; The Tote has selling points throughout the racecourse - easily identified by the Tote Betting or totepool signs
The bookmakers are located in front of the grandstand in the ‘Betting Ring’. The bookmakers display their odds for each race and compete to offer the best price to customers. These are fixed price bets and the amount of your winnings will be printed on your betting slip Search around to get the best price for your selection.
Mimimum Stakes
The Tote has a minimum bet of £2. The bookmakers vary but if they have a minimum it will be shown on the boards displaying their odds. If in doubt – just ask.

This is best left to ZONISTY, who lost little caste in defeat when runner-up under a penalty over C&D in December War Bonnet looks capable of picking up some place money judged on what he showed on debut but Elusive Enemy is preferred for forecast purposes.

RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY
LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): G L Moore (35 wins from 159 runners, 22%) runs HUDSON DE GRUGY TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G L Moore (11 wins from 45 runners, 24%) runs HUDSON DE GRUGY LONGEST TRAVELLER: NOT WHAT IT SEEMS trained by M Hammond, Middleham, 270 miles.
NOW WHAT IT SEEMS has stamina for this far to prove but he’s the only one arriving in form and this may not be a searching test of stamina. He rates the percentage call, with Scipion probably the main danger in first-time headgear.

MOVETHECHAINS found the Welsh National a bit of a shock to the system on his reappearance but he’s back in calmer waters at a venue where he holds an unbeaten record. He therefore makes plenty of appeal, with Art of Illusion expected to offer most resistance.

A number of these have question marks against them but Milton Harris’ ROYAL SAM arrives on the up over hurdles and is fancied to go one better than his recent Leicester second and add to his earlier points success. Secret Trix is also in excellent nick and feared most, with One For The Wall not discounted either back in this sphere for his in-form yard.
