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 STATS
LEADING COURSE TRAINER (19-24): J Goldie (51 wins from 469 runners, 11%) runs FAYLAQ & GEREMIA TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): I Jardine (5 wins from 25 runners, 20%) runs RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE WEIGHTWATCHER: DRAGONS WILL RISE won off a handicap mark of 77, his rating is now down 11lb to 66. LONGEST TRAVELLER: SWISS MONEY trained by Anthony Charlton, Warminster, 343 miles.
RACE SUMMARY
The one who appeals most is ISLE OF SARK, who got his head in front for the first time since his 2-y-o days at Southwell 10 days ago, only to lose the race in the stewards’room. He has clearly resumed in good order and is taken to gain compensation off the same mark. Faylaq will have a serious chance if he puts his best foot forward following a break, while Parish Councillor, who shaped well in the same Southwell race that Isle of Sark contested, is best of the rest

RACE SUMMARY
HIYA MAITE was impressive both visually and on the clock when bolting up at Southwell last time and he’s taken to defy a 10lb higher mark. Billyjoh is in the form of his life and has to be considerd going for the hat-trick, though his slow-starting tendencies slighty temper enthusiasm at the minimum trip, whilst Albasheer produced a career-best to score here last time and should go well again.

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT NEWCASTLE

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
Dropped back in trip, NOVAK had a hopeless task from his position when fourth at this course last week, so he looks ready to take advantage of his current mark returned to 7f The main danger could be One More Dream, who ran at least as well as ever when scoring at Southwell on Tuesday, while Al Muqdad is also considered
