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.

DR SANDERSON’s recent hurdles form is clearly a concern, but he has been given a big chance by the handicapper and is an interesting runner back over fences for an in-form yard. Yccs Portocervo remains well treated on old form after his win over C&D last month so is the obvious threat.

RACE SUMMARY

ROSE OF SIENA took a step forward on handicap debut at Perth 3 weeks ago and there’s reason to think she can do better still, so she’s preferred to Noonie, who makes her handicap debut from a potentially lenient mark based on Flat form. Toughasoldboots is another one to consider

RACE SUMMARY

Off the mark over fences at Fontwell this time last year, ANNIE NAIL didn’t go without encouragement after 10 months off at that venue in May and, entitled to be sharper with that under her belt, she’s fancied to make her presence felt from a 2lb lower mark. Stamina Chope and Cotton End head up the dangers, whilst the betting may prove useful in assessing Presenting Belle on her chase debut.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: MILLIE OF MAYO trained by N Richards, Greystoke, 153 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

A winner in points, HOLLOW RON has shown more sent handicapping under Rules when making the frame on his last 2 starts, so he could still have more to offer as he now goes up in trip. The 5-y-o is taken to get the better of Merveillo, who has dropped to a dangerous mark with cheekpieces on for the first time. Drop Him In is the pick of the remainder

The vote goes to LIGHTENING COMPANY, who has recent winning form on the Flat to his name and may well step up on his previous hurdles efforts now pitched into a handicap for the first time in this sphere. Shalott’s wellbeing needs taking on trust following a 13-month absence but he will be a serious player if ready to roll, while Uggy Uggy Uggy is also of interest now handicapping in first-time headgear
