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

MISTER MOET: Following its run on 21/1/2026 it was reported that the horse jumped awkwardly from the stalls.
Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of both horse and rider. Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface On duty today we also have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital.
It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary. Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected around a horse We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today. To find out more about our Equine Welfare policy, please visit our website www.wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk.

CHANTELLE looked green for her debut over C&D but still managed to get her head in front and Sir Mark Prescott’s daughter of Gleneagles can improve sufficiently to defy a penalty at the chief expense of Faff’s Gold who made an eye-catching start when third over C&D. Simon and Ed Crisford’s Mehmas newcomer Denver Doll can’t be ruled out and is worth a market check, while Get An Attitude has the form to play a part too.

This quick turnaround is unlikely to faze EUPATOR given that he barely broke sweat when scoring here on Friday and Richard Hannon’s charge is taken to repeat the dose under a penalty. Low-mileage 5-y-o Monty Beau hasn’t done a great deal wrong in his career to date and he will be a danger to all if the first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect. Oman is best of the rest, with Golspie and Starliner also shortlisted as plausible each-way candidates.

KNIGHT OF MAGIC wasn’t seen to best effect at Chelmsford recently and, in good form prior to that, he looks the way to go in a race that won’t take a great deal of winning The one to follow him home could be Prince Hector, while Dancing Bay also makes some each-way appeal.
