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
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.

A breathing operation appears to have helped iron out MONDAMMEJ’s quirks and the 8-y-o is taken to deliver another success at this track, where he has won three of his five starts since undergoing the aforementioned procedure. The hat-trick seeking Pals Battalion should be on the premises once more, while the down-in-class Airman and How Impressive are both more than capable of taking a hand in the finish, too.

The vote goes to TASEVER, who looked better than ever when striking over 7f here last week and it makes sense that connections are getting him out again quickly, as it’s highly likely that he’ll go up by more than the 5lb penalty he carries in this contest when reassessed. Profitman wasn’t beaten far when fifth at Kempton recently and he is feared most ahead of Commander Crouch and Cusack

RACE SUMMARY
BENEFICIARY bounced back from a low-key effort at Southwell when seeing off 9 rivals there earlier this month, prior to finding just one too good under a penalty at this course on Friday.The 6-y-o is now effectively 2lb lower and the return to this trip looks a good move. Tomorrow Day was also runner-up on the same card and is likely to be firmly in the mix once more, while Tickets could also have a part to play.

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.
