All rising stars are graded the same in the Premiership. 1* > 4* is only relevant in the Championship. That's how I've understood it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The top 6 have a team limit they all work too,, and if anyone is stupid enough to pick a grade 1 not grade 4,,, then they are even more stupid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultimately that's what matters. If the last year has taught us anything it's that statistics are only ever part of the story. And it's not as if the others on the 4* list are guilt edged prospects.

Josh Bates final 2019 GSA is 5.20, bearing in mind he is likely to ride at no 7 how on earth can it be right to compare him with any of the other Rising stars riding at no 7 who have yet to ride in the Premiership. Its ludicrous. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palin is a talent I don’t think many will argue with that, but as you say Bates and Bacon have a clear advantage over most of the other no 7,s. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
