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.

A few with chances in this opening mares’ novice. SPRINGTIME PROMISE has the potential to build on her recent winning debut for the Fergal O’Brien yard and gets the nod. Micks Jet’s bumper ability suggests she could step up on the form of her opening hurdle run at Wetherby on Boxing Day and she’s second choice ahead of Getaway Theatre.

SILVER VISION took full advantage of a tumbling mark when a wide-margin Kelso scorer last time and a 7lb penalty doesn’t look sufficient to prevent Stuart Coltherd’s rejuvenated mare from following up. Dan Skelton’s Lady Berlais rates the obvious threat, with in-form maiden Hide Out appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours. 1-2-3: 1.SILVER VISION 2.LADY BERLAIS 3.HIDE OUT (IRE) KEY colours

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT SEDGEFIELD RACECOURSE 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 highspecification 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.

Having resumed winning ways over C&D in November, ONESTEPATATIME hasn’t been disgraced either outing since, fourth at Kelso latest despite not jumping with much fluency. The return to this venue rates a plus (all 3 career victories gained here) and she’s a player having eased 2lb in the weights. Skyhill, a winner at Catterick on New Year’s Day, rates the lead threat, with Eveque and Coolmoyne completing the shortlist.
