STAR RATINGS EXPLAINED
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: ##### Selected to win the race ####! Good chance of being placed ###!! By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims. ##!!! Unlikely to win but not totally without hope #!!!! Can be given little or no chance You
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 non handicap 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.

ASHDOWN FOREST was capable of fair form on the Flat for Ed Walker and could prove well treated now starting out for Dan Skelton on the back of a breathing operation from a basement hurdling mark. Versatile is capable when in the mood and could emerge as the chief threat, although Alshadhian could take a step forward back hurdling and also enters calculations.
