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

You must be 18 or over to place a bet

You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet

SECRET ROAD arguably should’ve hit the target at Lingfield recently and is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. The hat-trick seeking How’s The Guvnor is clearly a big threat in current form but the veteran Harbour Vision, though decisive from the front over C&D last week, couldn’t be sure to back that up given his yoyo-like profile

WEIGHTWATCHER: PARRAMOUNT won off a handicap mark of 74, his rating is now down 5lb to 69.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: BILLY BATHGATE trained by E Whillans, Hawick, 230 miles.

It’s hard to escape the claims of CAPTAIN ROBERT, who readily got off the mark at Chelmsford in December and this low-mileage 4-y-o remains well weighted. Further Measure shaped well behind Price Quattro at Southwell 12 days ago and may emerge as the chief threat this time.
