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.

Runswick Days won The Santander In Memory of Robert Forster Handicap Steeple Chase at Sedgefield on Tuesday 11th November 2014.

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.

Dan Skelton’s LEAUMEC DE MEE went with plenty of promise when runner-up on his hurdling debut at Fontwell and can build on it to go one better here. Eddie My Eagle also looks to have better days ahead of him but might have to settle for second once more, while Sam England’s hurdling debutant Made All has some fair winning Flat form to his name and also commands respect.

Stamina is clearly JAMESIECONN’s forte judged on his winning chase debut over this trip at Doncaster last winter and, provided he’s raring to go following a seven-month break, the 6-y-o could be the answer on debut for the Nicky Richards yard. Upfordebate made it 3-5 over fences when scoring over C&D last time and he is feared most ahead of Scottish King and the veteran Eveque

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): D McCain (51 wins from 234 runners, 22%) runs BO CRUZ TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D McCain (7 wins from 34 runners, 21%) runs BO CRUZ

LONGEST TRAVELLER: CAVE HILL trained by I Duncan, Coylton, 180 miles.

The market should offer plenty of clues regarding the chase debutants, and it could pay to take a chance on Irish point runner-up BO CRUZ who made a pleasing comeback over hurdles last month and should have more to offer now sent chasing. He’s narrowly preferred to the more-experienced Cave Hill, who would be feared if back to his best in first-time cheekpieces, while Huit Reflets arrives in good heart and should give his running again.
