Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:
Selected to win the race.
Good chance of being placed By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims.
Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. 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 non-handicaps 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
Today we remember the life of jockey Stefano Cherchi. Stefano tragically passed away earlier this month at the age of 23, following a fall whilst race riding in Australia.
We would like to invite everyone present at the Racecourse today to join us in a moment’s silence in Stefano’s memory, which will take place around the parade ring ahead of the first race.
The condolences of everyone at the Racecourse and across British horseracing go to Stefano’s friends, family and colleagues.

Having enjoyed an excellent 2023 for Sir Mark Prescott, ROBUSTO made a very promising start for new connections when second over C&D 19 days ago and he looks set for another productive campaign. Enthused is over a more suitable trip so he’s a threat, along with Royal Deeside, who is fit from hurdling

RACE SUMMARY
A useful 3-y-o handicap ELMONJED looked good when scoring twice on turf at the end of last summer and can stretch his unbeaten record to 3 now handicapping on his return. Piz Nair won nicely at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and could have a fitness edge over some so he’s second choice ahead of Blue Day and She’s A Gambler

RACE SUMMARY
ACOTANGO is well treated on his peak form last season (including here) and the drop to 7f looks an interesting move for one who does tend to travel well in his races. It didn’t take long for Ruth Carr to find the key to Woodstock and he’s second choice ahead of Tropez Power. Lightly-raced Sir Michael Stoute representative Pumalin Park is another fascinating runner in a well-contested handicap
