Star Ratings Explained
Each horse is given a star rating, these are defined below:
HHHHH Selected to win the race HHHHI Good chance of being placed HHHII By no means without a chance
HHIII At least one or two hold stronger claims HIIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope IIIII 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 non-handicaps 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

WEIGHTWATCHER: WYVERN won off a handicap mark of 59, his rating is now down 7lb to 52. LONGEST TRAVELLER: PRINCESS VIVI trained by A Brittain, Warthill, 138 miles.
SO CHIC has ingrained issues at the stalls but she arrives on the back of her most positive effort this season when second here 3 weeks ago and with this step back up in trip in her favour, she looks weighted to strike. Street Dancer brings unexposed credentials to the table and that makes her dangerous at this modest level, with Captain Pickles likely to be bang there again.
