TFR HHHHH BHA100
KEY Owner Breeding Breeder Jockey Trainer Sponsor Star Ratings Explained
S Br
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

RACE SUMMARY
While QUEEN ROSLYN hasn’t shown a great deal in a handful of appearances at up to 7f so far, we could be about to see an altogether different filly now that she’s pitched into a handicap and, moreover, faced with a stiffer test Flowering is an obvious threat on the back of her effort at Chelmsford where she found just one too good, while Pegasus of Harry’s handicap debut third here a fortnight ago represented a step forward and she is also likely to appreciate this step up in trip

LONGEST TRAVELLER: LIEGE trained by S Hodgson, Hook, 143 miles.
Although her tendency to miss the break is a slight worry there should be more to come from BINT HAVANA GOLD back at 6f so she’s the selection. Moe’s Legacy arrives in good form and is second choice ahead of William Knight handicap newcomer Twenty Bob, who was third in a C&D maiden last month.
