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 nonhandicaps 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. For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

RACE SUMMARY SOFT RISK has looked good in winning an Ayr bumper and a novice hurdle there on his reappearance last month, and he looks destined for better things. Fellow hurdles debut winners Since Day One and East Street rate the main dangers, in that order of preference, while King of Unicorns is worth a second look having hit the target in a bumper here last time. 1-2-3: 1.SOFT RISK (FR) 2.SINCE DAY ONE (IRE) 3.EAST STREET (IRE) KEY colours

TANGO BOY’s chase debut effort at Worcester was low-key, but he is entitled to come on for that run (first outing for seven months) and is appealing back up in trip here with that experience under his belt. Multiple hurdles winner Bavington Bob is bound to be popular following his chase debut second at Sedgefield and he is greatly respected. Houston Texas and Choctaw Brave look up against it.

FETE CHAMPETRE has taken well to this sphere so looks the way to go given he can race off the same mark as when a promising second at Ayr last month. Top-weight Defi Sacre can make his presence felt too, especially if the fitting of a visor ekes out some improvement, with Brelan d’As not dismissed either now back at the scene of his recent C&D success. 1-2-3: 1.FETE CHAMPETRE (IRE) 2.DEFI SACRE (FR) 3.BRELAN D’AS (FR) KEY colours

PROUD PARTNERS OF

HORSE WELFARE Here at Newcastle Racecourse nothing matters more to us than looking after the horses that make us the North East’s Premier Racecourse. We do everything in our power to ensure that we provide a racing surface of the highest quality and we take every conceivable care to minimise the chances of horses incurring any injury whilst here.

There are three Veterinary Surgeons here today to ensure that should any horse need help they will be attended to within seconds of any incident occurring. Their first priority is to make a rapid diagnosis and to help them do this our groundstaff team will erect screens around any horse that needs attention. Once the diagnosis is made, one of our horse ambulances will attend the scene and will transport the horse back to the stables where further treatment and assessment can be undertaken. Occasionally, it may be that the nature of the injury is such that a horse is unable to make a recovery. If this is the case the Veterinary team may take the decision to put the horse down straight away. In these circumstances we should remember that the horse’s welfare comes first and that this option is kindest for the horse. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy please visit our website www.newcastle-racecourse.co.uk

Le Fils de Force looks a threat despite his penalty (Tom Midgley takes 7lb off) and debutant Iceman Dennis makes plenty of appeal on paper, acknowledging he may lack for pace.
