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 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
You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet
If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

PETE THE BRIEF improved under a more positive ride at Redcar a week ago and, if he gets the longer trip, he should be able to follow up for all that this looks quite a competitive affair for the grade.

RACE SUMMARY
SEALINE hasn’t had much racing and looks a potential improver back up in trip for his handicap debut, so he’s worth chancing Lexington Knight should be back on his game away from heavy ground and Come Together is an interesting one starting out for a new yard.

Royal Ascot winner RHYTHM N HOOVES has already shown a capacity to bounce back and he’s fancied to do so here, still appealing as one to keep on the right side of from this kind of mark despite a slightly disappointing display last time. Look Out Louis produced his best effort of the season when fourth at Musselburgh last time and is particularly well treated if able to build on that, whilst the free-going Squealer arrives in good heart and can make the frame once more.

RACE SUMMARY
This drop back in trip could precipitate a return to winning ways for LERWICK, who did the job well when making all at Pontefract on his penultimate start prior to finding 9.8f on soft ground too much of a test at Ripon recently. Harlem Nights arrives here on the back of a couple of solid efforts in defeat and rates the main danger, while handicap debutant Elusive Empire, Hale End and John Chard VC all merit consideration, too.

HORSE WELFARE COMES FIRST AT DONCASTER
At every race meeting at Doncaster our top priority is the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. We have a dedicated team of highly qualified vets and doctors following the action at all times and a horse ambulance in attendance at every meeting.
Use of Screens
It is our policy to erect green screens around any horse requiring veterinary attention. This does NOT reflect the severity of any injury, but does help to provide a calm environment, in which the vet is better able to treat the horse.
Please do not assume the worst if you see screens erected around a fallen horse!
All ARC tracks will open dedicated and exclusive syndicate lounge facilities throughout 2023.
