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

WATER OF LEITH was a major eye-catcher when fourth in the 11-runner C&D handicap won by the Zoulu Warrior during the Christmas period, his claimer subjecting him to tender handling and picking up a 10-day suspension as a consequence.The 8-y-o enjoys a 4lb pull with ZouluWarrior, who is bidding for the hat-trick, having finished 2 lengths behind the winner and it could be a different outcome this time Early Release was only ninth in that race but is capable of better and should have a say.

Unexposed filly Lodge is greatly respected on her handicap debut, while Star of Mali is not short of appeal and Arantes Nascimento and Chifa, who is bidding for the hat-trick, are others to consider 1-2-3:

Anything other than another clear-cut success for HARDSTYLE would be a surprise, given the dearth of credible opposition to George Boughey’s representative. Indeed, he did the job well over a mile here recently and neither the drop back to 7f nor the 6lb penalty are likely to pose much of a problem. Fallacious Promise is a likely improver now handicapping and gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Miss Ayala.
