STAR RATINGS EXPLAINED

Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:

ëëëëë Selected to win the race

ëëëëê Good chance of being placed

ëëëêê By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims.

ëëêêê Unlikely to win but not totally without hope

ëêêêê Can be given little or no chance

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 non handicap 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.

RACE SUMMARY

TONTO FOLEY took a big step forward on his handicap debut when fourth at Newcastle last time out and is weighted to open his account here off an unchanged mark. C&D scorer Atlantic Dancer rates the chief threat to Christian Williams’ lightly-raced sort, with Half The Freedom appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

RACE SUMMARY

COREY’S COURAGE had a next-time-out scorer behind in second when winning comfortably at Huntingdon last month and can make light of a 7lb rise. Marsh Wren ought to find this easier than the big-field Carlisle Class 3 she contested last time and can give the selection most to do ahead of Lime Drop.

Dee Lambley 80th Birthday Celebration

Dee decided to celebrate her 80th birthday with two of her greatest loves – her family and horse racing. So where better to go than Uttoxeter races, sponsor a race and spend time with her close family – husband Eddie, son Mark and daughter-in-law Yvonne, Grandson Craig and wife Sarah, Granddaughter Beckie and fiance Jay, and Great Grandchildren Chloe and Rowan. Hoping that they all have a great day, one to be always remembered.

RACE SUMMARY

LORD OF KERAK left his chasing debut form well behind when beaten only by a progressive one at Wetherby 11 days ago (likely to have gone close had he not met the second last wrong) so has a big shout off the same mark. Real Stone looked suited by the drop to 2m when winning in good style at Ffos Las in January but he does stay this far so still rates the main threat back up in distance.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: ONEUPMANSHIP trained by A Honeyball, Beaminster, 176 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

The lightly-raced GOLD EMERY left his chase bow well behind when runner-up at Newcastle 2 weeks ago and should improve again over this longer distance, so is narrowly preferred to Last Quarter, who also stepped up massively from his debut in this sphere when just failing at Ffos Las 10 days ago. Tip Top Mountain goes well around here so is another to consider

RACE SUMMARY

HAD TO BE HUGO looks the way to go on the back of a highly creditable effort in a Hexham maiden last month. The 6-y-o makes his handicap debut off what looks a fair mark and, with just a handful of runs under his belt, he probably has more to offer The veteran Breizh Alko looks dagerouns but, if all is well following his departure at Plumpton last time, Betterforeveryone could be the one to pose most problems.

NORTHERN REEL won an Irish point and her stable is well capable of readying one, so she takes marginal preference over Mistral Milly, who shaped well at Ascot on debut. Cherie d’Am also makes plenty of appeal on paper
