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 may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): D M Loughnane (61 wins from 620 runners, 10%) runs BOOKMARK TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): J J Quinn (4 wins from 18 runners, 22%) runs HAVEN LADY LONGEST TRAVELLER: CASA LUNA trained by Mrs P Kirby, Richmond, 154 miles.

The vote goes to HAVEN LADY, who deserves to get her head back in front having hit the crossbar on each of her last 4 starts, including over this C&D in March. Bookmark is on a good mark judged on her turf form but she’s yet to strike on the all-weather and bigger threats may be posed by Lunar Shadow, who looked better than ever when narrowly prevailing at Lingfield last time. Sainte Colette failed to make an impact on her handicap debut when last seen but is worth another chance.

This could be the day when SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX finally opens his account. He has made the frame on several occasions, including when fourth recently in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford where he left the impression that moving up to this trip would be in his favour. Alaskan would have benefited from a stronger gallop when third at Lingfield and will be a threat if getting that here, while She’s A Mirage, Gypsy Nation and handicap-debutant Zoukster are all worthy of consideration.

VETERINARY CARE

Horse welfare is a priority at Wolverhampton. At every meeting there are two specially qualified Equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all the horses in action. One vet is present at the start of each race and during the race follows the runners in a vehicle. Horses can be attended to in the same time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating injured jockeys. The second vet follows the action from the stands and coordinates the required response to any incidents. In addition, throughout the meeting a close check is kept on all horses, especially those returning after a race. It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected around the horse. It is designed to afford the vet and the patient some privacy. Please do not assume the worst.

Supporting a 17-race maiden is obviously risky but in VIEWFROMTHESTARS the chance is worth taking in this trappy-looking contest. He wasn’t seen to best effect last time and he may well have hit the target at Kempton on his penultimate start, granted a clearer passage. Cases can be made for pretty much all of the others, with Storm Master and Tea Garden the pair who may offer the most resistance.
