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

The one with the most appealing claims based on recent evidence is GLORIOUS CHARMER, who was well on top at the finish when making all over C&D 3 weeks ago and a 5lb rise probably won’t be enough to stop him from going in again.Toplight is also in good form and is second choice ahead of Proclivity, who doesn’t boast a particularly compelling profile but she’s certainly capable of a bold show off this mark.Toplight’s stablemate Second Collection is worth a look, too.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: SKY DEFENDER trained by D O’Meara, Upper Helmsley, 155 miles.

A useful contest that can go to WAR IN HEAVEN. A switch to front-running tactics around here have been the making of him and he’s probably still ahead of the handicapper Court of Session has the widest draw to overcome but remains on a workable mark and can go well if getting the longer trip, as can May Night, who gained a deserved first win for Stuart Williams here last week
