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

FLINDRIKIN is progressive and has been allotted a reasonable opening mark, so she’s worth a chance to open her account at the likely expense of the in-form My Roxanne. Most of the others have some sort of chance, with Blue Yonder arguably the most appealing of them.

RACE SUMMARY Plenty of in-form sorts in opposition but SANDRET did well under the circumstances and dropped the hint his turn is imminent when finishing a good second in a C&D handicap in October and he shades the vote. Rocket Rod returned to this venue, Cusack and the hat-trick seeking Struck Gold head the dangers.

RACE SUMMARY

INVERLOCHY and Enola Grey are both on the up and look the pair to concentrate on. The latter has barely put a foot wrong in four starts since joining the Gemma Tutty yard and isn’t passed over at all lightly, but Inverlochy is taken to confirm her superiority over that rival, having proved 1/2-length too good when they met over C&D last month. Clipsham Gold is third choice ahead of Ledger and Bobby Joe Leg.

RACE SUMMARY

Only a handful of these are of any real interest and it’s AUGUST who gets the nod to get off the mark having shown plenty on first start for these connections at Southwell just less than a fortnight ago. Yasmina has a lengthy absence to overcome, but she remains with potential having switched to George Boughey, while Bystander, who was a modest favourite at Redcar in the spring, is another to look out for returning for a different handler.

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT NEWCASTLE Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.

It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse.

We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.

RACE SUMMARY THETURPINATOR bounced back from a lesser show over 6f here when striking over C&D recently and, if in a similar mood, he may well follow up off this 3lb higher mark. Al Farabi has to be feared, as an unexposed 3-y-o from a top yard and making his handicap debut off what looks a fair mark. Roger Varian’s charge is next on the list ahead of Jahidin and Illusionist, who was third to the selection here 12 days ago. The 10-y-o Scottish Summit also needs a second look in a competitive heat.

RACE SUMMARY

FLYING FLETCHER shaped better than the bare result when finishing midfield on nursery debut here 3 weeks ago, his effort flattening out having made a big mid-race move from the back. Returned to sprinting, he can confirm the promise of that run and strike. Lingfield scorer Professor Tickle and Magic Fluke head up the dangers, whilst it would come as no surprise to see Keen Interest take a step forward on his handicap debut.

RACE SUMMARY

THE CALTONIAN has held his form well since landing a pair of handicaps in October and Linda Perratt’s gelding looks the one to beat here having shaped best at Wolverhampton last time. After John completed a hat-trick here last season and has to be respected after his ready win here last time, with Kats Bob and Secret Road others to consider.
