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.

RACE SUMMARY COULDBEAWEAPON travelled with a lot more purpose than has been the case when finally off the mark at Southwell 17 days ago and the fact he’s in good order makes him the fairly obvious selection against this bunch.

HOSTILE HOTELIER races off 3lb lower than when scoring over hurdles at Newton Abbot last month and holds obvious claims at a track he runs well. 2023 winner of this Ballylinch hasn’t been seen for 18 months but might still be the one to give Jennie Candlish’s charge most to do.

BUMPY EVANS had so much in hand at Warwick last time that even a further 9lb rise shouldn’t stop him. Tommie Beau has been first and third in the last 2 runnings of this and is narrowly preferred for the forecast spot to Fairlawn Flyer, who numbered Perth’s Highland National among his 5 wins in a row in the first half of 2025. 1-2-3: 1.BUMPY EVANS (IRE) 2.TOMMIE BEAU (IRE) 3.FAIRLAWN FLYER KEY colours

A trappy handicap and none of the quintet can be ruled out definitively. C&D winner HARPER VALLEY is back below his winning mark and marginally get the vote having hinted at a revival when fourth at Perth last month. Park Annonciade was ridden more positively when right back to his best on final start of last season and could be dangerous if allowed to dictate on stable debut, while useful Flat performer Zanndabad may yet have more to offer as a handicap hurdler. 1-2-3: 1.HARPER VALLEY (IRE) 2.PARK ANNONCIADE (FR) 3.ZANNDABAD (IRE) KEY colours
