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.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: FRIMEUR DE LANCRAY trained by Mrs S J Smith, Bingley, 82 miles. RACE SUMMARY
NIETZSCHE has been running well without getting his head in front and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go in here off a handy-looking mark. Maiden-chaser Frimeur de Lancray is feared most on the back of his good Wetherby second, with last year’s scorer Road Warrior another who needs considering. 1-2-3: 1.NIETZSCHE 2.FRIMEUR DE LANCRAY (FR) 3.ROAD WARRIOR KEY colours

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ADHERENCE trained by B J Llewellyn, Bargoed, 258 miles. RACE SUMMARY
ADHERENCE stepped up on his stable debut when runner-up at Newton Abbot 25 days ago and remains well treated on old form following a 3lb rise, so he gets the nod to go one better. Calliope appeals as the type to bounce back after a break, while Goldrapper possibly still needed the run last time and is another to consider from an easing mark.
