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 A competitive opener in which the vote goes to SPIRIT OF ASH, who found only one too good in a slowly-run affair over 12.4f last month and reunited with Jason Hart, she can gain course victory number 5. Cold Henry is a reliable type so he could give the selection most to think about, with Heatherdown Hero and stable-switcher Ghadbbaan taken to fight out minor honours. 1-2-3: 1.SPIRIT OF ASH (IRE) 2.COLD HENRY 3.HEATHERDOWN HERO KEY colours

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (18-23): J Goldie (43 wins from 471 runners, 9%) runs BRAES OF DOUNE TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): J Goldie (2 wins from 9 runners, 22%) runs BRAES OF DOUNE LONGEST TRAVELLER: BIG DREAM trained by A Mccann, Ireland. RACE SUMMARY

BRAES OF DOUNE showed improved form to finally get off the mark at Ayr back in July and having shaped with encouragement on both starts at this track prior, he’s fancied to defy a 4lb higher mark and follow up at the expense of Odd Socks Havana, who should be much closer to form with his reappearance under his belt. Ibiza Rocks and Irish-raider Big Dream are another couple worth keeping an eye on, too.

Nothing holds outstanding claims, so a tentative nod is given to FIFTY SENT, who remains very well treated on the form shown in the summer and ran his best race for a while when third over C&D last month.

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.
