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.
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.
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.

DRAYTON FLYER has gone with some promise when runner-up on both his runs to date and is fancied to get off the mark here now stepping up in distance. Last Rodeo also has better days ahead of him and could emerge as the main danger to Olly Murphy’s 6-y-o, although Golan Loop has the form to play a big part if back on his A-game Blue Bellamy and Dark Mystery need shortlisting too.

Twice a winner over hurdles following a break, WEAVER’S ANSWER has been freshened up for this following a creditable second at Hereford in December and can land the spoils San Pedro took this in 2023 and is interesting racing off the same mark as when making all at Plumpton 10 days ago, although he’s unlikely to have it all his own way with fellow front-runner Westtara for company on this occasion. Engaging Sam has placed over C&D previously and may be able to finish in the money once again.
