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.

EMOTIONAL ROLLER made a good start to his handicap career when third over 2 1/2m at Wetherby on Boxing Day and there could be more to come now stepping up in trip so he’s the suggestion. Ushuaia Dancer looks an interesting one for handicaps and is second choice ahead of Lewa House and Lincoln Burrows, who were second/third in the same race at Ayr at the turn of the year.

READYSTEADYBEAU looked well served by the return to positive tactics (notably jumped better) when running out a convincing winner at Ayr last month and a 7lb rise may not be enough to prevent a bold follow-up bid.

IP UP couldn’t cope with Atlantic Dancer at Kelso but an 8lb pull, combined with this drop back in trip and forecast better ground, could help tilt the scales in her favour this time. Atlantic Dancer will of course be dangerous if again allowed a soft lead but a bigger threat on this occasion may be posed by Golden Glance, who put in a good shift when runner-up at Aintree last month and she probably has more to offer. 1-2-3: 1.IP UP (FR) 2.GOLDEN GLANCE 3.ATLANTIC DANCER (IRE) KEY colours
