SINGULA PARTNERSHIP Alan King, Barbury Castle

Mr Didier Blot Hare Group Ltd Br

TIMEFORMVIEW Established himself as the best stayer in Europe last year, winning Goodwood Cup, Cadran at Longchamp and Long Distance Cup at Ascot. Took Nottingham Listed race on return but asking an awful lot of him to defy a mark of 120.

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 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 STATS

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): A Brittain (46 wins from 510 runners, 9%) runs INTERNATIONAL LAW

TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): R Craggs (1 win from 3 runners, 33%) runs AMOURIE

WEIGHTWATCHER: INTERNATIONAL LAW won off a handicap mark of 60, his rating is now down 5lb to 55.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: VISSANI trained by I Williams, Alvechurch, 233 miles.

The vote goes to AMOURIE, who pulled nicely clear of the rest when losing out to a well-handicapped rival at Southwell recently and she again has the assistance of good-value claimer Mark Winn. We Still Believe has to enter calculations on the back of his narrow success here, for which a 3lb rise looks fair, and Visitant is also likely to be on the premises judged on his solid recent effort at Thirsk

JOYFUL ACT is bred in the purple and should have derived plenty from her recent debut at Wolverhampton, so she’s taken to open her account at the second time of asking Sahara Mist is a very interesting newcomer on paper from the same stable though, and strong market support for her would put a slightly different slant on matters Corymbosa is another likely improver now stepping up in trip and can’t be dismissed, either

LONGEST TRAVELLER: STREAK LIGHTNING trained by R Carr, Stillington, 177 miles.

BROCTUNE RED capitalised on a falling mark in emphatic style over 1 1/4m at this track 10 days ago and, if arriving in anything like the same form, Gillian Boanas’charge is likely to take some stopping under a 4lb penalty. Star Shield turned in his best effort of the season when runner-up over C&D last month, so he heads up the opposition, ahead of Skilled Warrior and recent winner Ron O.

CALYPSO continued his race-by-race progress when finishing runner-up at Wolverhampton back in November, and with this step up to 1m holding no fears, James Ferguson’s charge is fancied to go one better. He faces plenty of unexposed opposition though, with Falcon Nine, Calluna and course-winner Tiamat all capable of playing their part on handicap debut, too.

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.

Regrettably, as in any highly competitive sport, there are occasions when something goes wrong and horses have to be given the very best veterinary care.

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
