KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Star Ratings Explained

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

HHHHH Selected to win the race

HHHHI Good chance of being placed

HHHII By no means without a chance

HHIII At least one or two hold stronger claims

HIIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope

IIIII 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-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

You must be 18 or over to place a bet

A low-grade novice with BOBBY DASSLER narrowly preferred over Angel Amadea. He may have needed his recent Southwell run when well backed starting out for Tom Ward and should be much closer to his best Irish form here. Similarly, Angel Amadea should strip fitter for her first outing for Rebecca Menzies and is expected to show a lot more.

Preference is for FARHH TO SHY, who failed to fully fire at Southwell last time but she was previously just a length adrift of the second-placed Jilly Cooper when third to subsequent Listed winner Manaafith over this C&D. She meets that rival on 6lb better terms this time. Jilly Cooper recently hit the target here and should be in the mix once more, whileTylos makes each-way appeal Keyser Soze snapped a long losing run at Kempton and can’t be ruled out.
