Star Ratings Explained Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race. HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HIIII 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 nonhandicaps 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. For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

FIRST RACE 5.30 TWO MILES ABOUT HALF A FURLONG (2M 110YDS) FOR FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS
THE MARTIN KEIGHLEY RACING CLUB HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 5) Total race value £7850 x Owners Prize Money. 1st £2692, 2nd £1346, 3rd £673, 4th £337, 5th £280, 6th £280, 7th £280, 8th £280. (Penalty Value £3512.66) Weights raised 2lbs and paragraph 34 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.
RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): P Hobbs (24 wins from 88 runners, 27%) runs KEPY BLANC TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): B Pauling (3 wins from 5 runners, 60%) runs CHESS PLAYER LONGEST TRAVELLERS: MISTER ALLEGRO trained by A Honeyball, Beaminster, 116 miles. ANNIE NAIL trained by Alexandra Dunn, Wellington, 116 miles. RACE SUMMARY
This drop back in trip could be a good thing where ANNIE NAIL’s concerned and, with the best surely yet to come from this 5-y-o over fences, she earns the vote, Ben Buie is bound to have been well-prepared for this assignment and he is feared most off a dangerous mark. Chess Player will also be a threat if his jumping passes the test on debut in this sphere, while Mister Allegro is another to consider. 1-2-3: 1.ANNIE NAIL (IRE) 2.BEN BUIE (IRE) 3.CHESS PLAYER (IRE) KEY colours

HORSE WELFARE It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected whilst a diagnosis of the injury is made by one of the three veterinary surgeons deployed around the course. The screens are designed to afford privacy during this diagnosis. Please do not always assume the worse, and at all times the horse’s welfare is our paramount concern.

TEXARD can probably be forgiven a lesser run in the very competitive Summer Plate last time and can bounce back to form and deny Leapaway a second successive win in this race. Bathiva should also have a say. 1-2-3: 1.TEXARD (FR) 2.LEAPAWAY (IRE) 3.BATHIVA (FR) KEY colours
