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.

The stable runs KAJAKI today. LONGEST TRAVELLER: CABRAKAN trained by M Harris, Warminster, 292 miles.

DREAM JET and Imperial Data both have relatively low mileage and could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter appeared to have benefited from a wind operation when opening his hurdles account at Kelso and he is not passed over lightly, but Dream Jet is marginally preferred on the back of his breakthrough success at Stratford. Titanium Bullet makes each-way appeal, while Cabrakan and Ragamuffin are others who could make an impact.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: NOBLE HILLTOP trained by J Mcconnell, Ireland.

THATS JET is exposed as a modest maiden on the level but has taken well to hurdling and, having pulled a long way clear with a promising sort on his final outing for Ross O’Sullivan at Killarney, there’s no real urge to take him on. Weigh Anchor has shown a fair level of form on the Flat and ought to be up to making her presence felt in a race like this over hurdles, while Noble HillTop is a debutante who represents a yard that does very well with its runners in the UK
