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.

Diamond Grace is feared most on the back of an encouraging hurdling debut third at Worcester, although Cougarontheloose and Jessie Jump Jet can also play a prominent role.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): O Murphy (63 wins from 281 runners, 22%) runs KAYLA’S FRIEND TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): J & A O’Neill (5 wins from 16 runners, 31%) runs CAMSHAFT
WEIGHTWATCHER: FAERIE CUTLASS won off a handicap mark of 91, her rating is now down 6lb to 85. LONGEST TRAVELLER: THEIRSHEGOES trained by A M Thomson, Greenlaw, 253 miles.
It’s true the form of CAMSHAFT’s latest win at Bangor hasn’t worked out as well as expected, but it’s reasonable to assume she can progress further as a stayer and therefore gets the nod to defy another 6lb rise in the weights. Kayla’s Friend got her career in handicaps off to the perfect start here last month and should be competitive again stepping up to a trip that should hold no fears. Theirshegoes has edged back down to a good mark and can’t be taken lightly back up markedly in distance.

STAND PROUD has already had a breathing operation and is fitted with a tongue strap for his debut but he has a very appealing pedigree and the booking of Harry Cobden signals intent. Redbarn went down only to one who had the run of things under a penalty at Stratford just over a fortnight ago and is of interest again, while Downtown Nashville is another to consider having joined a good stable after showing some promise in Irish points.
