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

RACE SUMMARY
Last year’s champion trainer James Owen continues to have his horses in great form under all codes. Top rated Upstart Crow is twice a winner on his return is sure to be primed for a repeat. The only doubt is his ability on the AW as all his wins are on turf. Stablemate Amirat Al Zaman is by a sire that produces black type winners on dirt, and is sure to improve again this term, though her main target is in June and this may come too soon. A paddock and market check is advised for Marakeb on his debut for that yard too, however the narrow preference is for Mutwahhej Athbah. A strong type, he’s had a few minor hold ups but goes well for his jockey, is a half brother to AW winners and won on his seasonal return last year.

Won a 0-95 handicap on his seasonal reappearance at Doncaster over an inadequate mile in June under today’s jockey Had a Group2PA winner behind him, as well as Upstart Crow (3rd) but worse off with that one today. Unexposed and could be more to come (R2 W2 P0) (OR 87)

Ready winner on last two seasonal debut’s for today’s jockey at 1m2f and 6f Should be plenty sharp enough again today, but faces stronger opposition than previous years. His form here at four years for previous yard was modest, though he is stronger now and must be respected. (R13 W5 P4) (OR 88)
