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
HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope
HIIII Can be given 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
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.
Minimum 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.

RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY
Several with sound claims, though MYSTERIOUS MAESTRO perhaps makes most appeal, with the Crisford’s gelding appearing to now be gradually getting the hang of things Robusto failed to immediately progress at Caterick last time but is given another chance to improve, whilst hat-trick seeking Philos and handicap-debutante Surge are others that merit serious consideration.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): G L Moore (50 wins from 441 runners, 11%) runs PLATINUM PRINCE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): G L Moore (5 wins from 25 runners, 20%) runs PLATINUM PRINCE LONGEST TRAVELLERS: GILDED MOON trained by E Dunlop, THIRD BATCH trained by S P C Woods, ROYAL DESIGN trained by P McEntee, OPTIK trained by D M Simcock, ZEBRA STAR trained by A Murphy, HANDEL trained by C Banham - all Newmarket, 95 miles.
The highest-drawn pair make most appeal here, with the three-year old THIRD BATCH fancied to build on a couple of promising placed efforts to get off the mark. Handel is a long-standing maiden but is going through a good spell at present and should be in the mix, whilst Zebra Star produced her best effort for a while last time and is potentially well treated if able to build on that.

LONGEST TRAVELLERS: GLOBAL GRANDEUR trained by J Butler, GRAND CENTRAL trained by P McEntee, DARK GOLD trained by Sir M Prescott - all Newmarket, 95 miles.
PINK LILY has done well so far this season, just finding the step up in grade beyond her at Goodwood last time, but she should be more at home in these calmer waters and sets a decent standard with a good claimer aboard. Star of Epsom has a positive C&D record and should make a bold bid to follow up her recent success here, whilst Dark Gold could well be a typical Sir Mark Prescott handicap improver and merits a serious market check
