Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race. HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HIIII Can be given little or no chance. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
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.

Having won at Leicester last month, THE CISTERCIAN cemented an excellent start for his new yard when third under a penalty at Haydock. That is the best form on offer here so he’ll take some stopping, for all Legendary Luke and Contacto are potential improvers. Point-recruit Mr Finch also needs considering. 1-2-3: 1.THE CISTERCIAN (IRE) 2.LEGENDARY LUKE (IRE) 3.CONTACTO KEY colours

INNISFREE LASS had excuses at Uttoxeter last time so could be worth chancing having been beaten only by a subsequent winner over C&D the time before.

TIMEFORMVIEWBumper winner who comfortably landed the odds on seasonal/hurdling debut at Plumpton (20.5f, good to firm) in September. However, was possibly unsuited by conditions when well-beaten second in novice at the same course (15.9f, soft) a month later. Makes handicap debut. TFRHHHII BHA110

TIMEFORMVIEWStarted and ended last term on a winning note, signing off with success at this C&D in a first-time visor in March. Shaped better than result on first 2 outings this season, before rallying for fourth at Chepstow (16.1f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Could go well back up in trip. TFRHHHII BHA108

TIMEFORM VIEW Best effort when third in a Clonmel maiden hurdle in April on final outing for P. A. Fahy. After 8 months off, was prominent in the market for handicap debut but shaped as if needing the run at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft) in December. This should reveal more. TFRHHIII BHA107

TIMEFORMVIEWSuccessful at Stratford (16.3f, heavy) on last season’s return but wasn’t in the same form the rest of the campaign. After 7 months off, shaped as if needing the run when mid-field at Sedgefield in November, though others are still preferred. TFRHHIII BHA102

TIMEFORM VIEW Much improved when winning juvenile maiden at this course back in December 2023 and ran well in handicaps 3 of next 4 starts. After 20 months off, better than ever when short-head second of 7 to Calshot Spit here (17.7f, soft) in December, so he’s capable if backing up his return. TFRHHHII BHA102
