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.

VALSAD, a good quality recruit from the Flat, ran out quite an impressive winner on his C&D hurdling debut last month and is surely good enough to defy a penalty with improvement on the cards. Virtual Rock showed a similar level of form on the level to the selection and is feared most ahead of Guard Duty.

THEONLYWAYISWESSEX has returned in good form, building on his previous chase effort when running out a comfortable winner at Stratford (17f) 21 days ago. That hasn’t gone unnoticed by the assessor, yet Alan King’s charge remains lightly raced in this sphere and earns the vote to follow up. Fellow last-time-out winners Neigh Botha and Solid Fuel are next best, with veteran Abaya du Mathan also fancied to give a good account.

Flat-winner DOUBLE OBAN is taken to make it third time lucky in this sphere. The 4-y-o showed promise in back-to-back novice events at Worcester and makes his handicap debut over hurdles on what could turn out to be a handy mark. Andapa is interesting with her reappearance spin at Plumpton under her belt (and with Harry Cobden booked), while Harry Gulliver’s best days are surely still ahead of him and he also merits respect, along with Chef de Troupe and Sergeant.
