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.

ALPINE SIERRA has solid credentials at this venue with previous course and distance success and wasn’t disgraced in a better race 12 days ago. The 3lb drop and return to 10f should suit ideally. Hackney Diamonds won at Southwell recently and should also appreciate returning to a longer trip. Time Turner switches to visor but attitude remains questionable. 1-2-3: 1.ALPINE SIERRA (IRE) 2.HACKNEY DIAMONDS 3.TIME TURNER KEY colours

GOLDMOYNE certainly hasn’t escaped the attention of the handicapper with his back-toback wins over 6f here last month but he may not have reached his limit yet and should prove equally effective back at this trip. Trais Fluors is feared most ahead of Concert Boy, while Front Gunner is also respected. Ridgemaster was a surprise winner over C&D last month but it would be unwise to assume that that was a fluke and he needs considering, too.
