KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Star Ratings Explained Each horse is given a star rating, these are defined below:

S Br

HHHHH Selected to win the race HHHHI Good chance of being placed HHHII By no means without a 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-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

RACE SUMMARY

ART POWER has been a bit underwhelming since making a successful defence of his Renaissance Stakes crown, but perhaps had excuses over 5f last time, and is given another chance to bounce back to form. Exalted Angel was ahead of the selection at Newcastle and rates as the main danger, whilst Lord of The Lodge is also respected back on AW.
