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.
Runswick Days won The Santander In Memory of Robert Forster Handicap Steeple Chase at Sedgefield on Tuesday 11th November 2014.
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.

There’s likely more to come from NORA THE XPLORER, who improved starting out for Donald McCain when scoring over C&D in January, so she’s fancied to defy a penalty.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: FOLLOW YOUR FIRE trained by J Candlish, Leek, 137 miles. RACE SUMMARY
CORAL BLUE was arguably fortunate to land the gamble at Catterick, but it was a step firmly back in the right direction nonetheless and he remains on a potentially handy mark following a 5lb rise. The hat-trick seeking Desaray Girl is a much-respected main danger, while Glan Y Gors, who chased Coral Blue home at Catterick, and Follow Your Fire, winner of this in 2020, are others to consider. 1-2-3: 1.CORAL BLUE (IRE) 2.DESARAY GIRL (FR) 3.GLAN Y GORS (IRE) KEY colours

The vote goes to JUST CALL ME AL, who clearly has an affinity for this course and it’s easy enough to forgive him for a below-par effort last time given how reliable he has otherwise proven to be since undergoing wind surgery last summer. Getaway Jewel should appreciate this step back up in trip after finishing third over 15.7f at Catterick recently and he is next on the list ahead of Naizagai. 1-2-3: 1.JUST CALL ME AL (IRE) 2.GETAWAY JEWEL (IRE) 3.NAIZAGAI KEY colours
