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.
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

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): R Menzies (39 wins from 427 runners, 9%) runs FOREVER PERFECT & GEMICAL TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): Sir M Prescott (5 wins from 24 runners, 21%) runs NIFFLER LONGEST TRAVELLER: NIFFLER trained by Sir M Prescott Bt, Newmarket, 241 miles. RACE SUMMARY
NIFFLER fits the bill of a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver, and he appeals most in an ordinary low-grade handicap. Fleur de Mer is feared most off her slipping mark, with Forever Perfect and Jedhi Knight also worth considering.

RACE FOUR
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.

A case can be made for a few of these but veteran COPPER KNIGHT has slipped back down to 2lb below his last winning mark so is fancied to bag another C&D success. Azuinthejungle is feared most in his bid for a four-timer, although Little Mi Mi, Castan and Too Much can all play a prominent role in this competitive sprint too. 1-2-3: 1.COPPER KNIGHT (IRE) 2.AZUINTHEJUNGLE 3.LITTLE MI MI (IRE) KEY colours
