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.

SAINT ANAPOLINO has shaped well on his three runs under Rules to date and this point bumper scorer is taken to get off the mark in this sphere at the chief expense of Dan Skelton’s Blue Bresil newcomer Delgany Deadline.

In what looks a modest handicap hurdle, it will be interesting to see if there is a springer in the market. A solid case can be made for REHILL RELIC who confirmed the promise of his novice hurdle efforts when placed at Doncaster three weeks ago and a repeat performance will see him in the mix here. Palawan du Mazet is another who has a respectable recent run to his name while Joker de Thaix, returning from a short break, represents a yard that is more than capable of readying one.
