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. You must be 18 or over to place a bet

You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

RACE SUMMARY

Having highlighted her turn may not be far away when runner-up over C&D on her penultimate start LOCHNAVER may not have been so well served by the drop back to 1m back here 7 days ago and operating from her last winning mark, she earns the vote. Mass Consumption has got back on track equipped with a visor of late and along with Isle of Wolves, heads up the dangers

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ALAFDHAL trained by P McEntee, Newmarket, 241 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

WATER OF LEITH defied a reduced mark with something to spare at Southwell last time and he remains with plenty of handicapping scope, so a chance is taken on him to follow up Phoenix Star and Alafdhal also arrive at the top of their game and should feature.

TORCHLIGHT caught the eye from a poor position on her first outing for George Boughey and, up in trip, she’s likely to take a step forward, so she takes marginal preference over Lahab, who started well for Grant Tuer here last time. Hat-trick seeker Danielsflyer is another one to consider.

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.
