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.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): J Goldie (67 wins from 549 runners, 12%) runs ABDUCTION TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): S C Williams (7 wins from 26 runners, 27%) runs EXPERT AGENT WEIGHTWATCHER: LION’S HOUSE won off a handicap mark of 78, his rating is now down 8lb to 70. LONGEST TRAVELLER: EXPERT AGENT trained by S C Williams, Newmarket, 241 miles. RACE SUMMARY

Though he evidently has a quirk or two, KIRKDALE is certainly capable of winning a race of this nature off his present mark and he is appealing with an experienced apprentice in the hot-seat. Expert Agent won’t be far away if responding well to the new headgear and Jkr Cobbler is another who could have a say. Cargin Bhui should be winning soon but this may come too soon on the back of his respectable third at Southwell on Tuesday.

RACE SUMMARY

BELA SONATA has an absence to overcome but she showed an excellent change of pace to land a Newbury handicap in good style in July and is still unexposed after just 4 career starts, so she’s an appealing candidate. Stateira was no match for a big improver at Southwell on her most recent outing but could still have more to offer if her enthusiasm can be channelled the right way, with Irish-raider Nikki Swango completing the shortlist.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): J Goldie (67 wins from 549 runners, 12%) runs HUMBLE SPARK TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): I Williams (9 wins from 36 runners, 25%) runs SHERADANN LONGEST TRAVELLER: TRYFAN trained by H Charlton, Beckhampton, 313 miles. RACE SUMMARY

A case can be made for plenty of these but NEWYORK MINUTE is on the up for Joey Ramsden and taken to turn the tables on his recent Kempton conqueror Berkshire Sundance on these 2lb better terms and quickly resume winning ways. Andrew Balding’s thriving stayer still rates a big threat in his bid to gain a fifth success in his last seven outings, while Ribble Vibe, Brasil Power and Duke Of Oxford can also have a say in this highly competitive event.

HORSE AND JOCKEY WELFARE AT NEWCASTLE Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface. On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital. It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse. We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.
