1. FORM

EXPERT VIEW

A quick way to see a horse’s past performance. These are its recent ﬁnishing positions.

How the experts rate the horse’s chances:

Look out for Letters: C D CD BF

= Has won at this course = Has won over this distance = Has won over this distance at this course = Was a beaten favourite

MORE INFORMATION ON THE FORM / P F U R CO B S r

= New racing season = Missed racing season = Was pulled-up and didn’t finish the race = Horse fell = Rider unseated = Horse refused to race = The horse was forced out of a race by a loose horse = Horse was brought down = Horse slipped = The horse ran around a jump or took the wrong course in a flat race = Disqualified

d Bold form ﬁgures = performance in all-weather (Flat) or Point-to-Point (Jump) races

2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse. 3. Timeform view and TFR rating 4. HORSE’S TRAINER & THEIR LOCATION

Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race. 5. JOCKEYS Listen out for any jockeys who are having a successful day. OTHER USEFUL DETAILS 6. Owner’s colours worn by the Jockey 7. Saddlecloth number 8. Horse’s name 9. Days since the horse last run 10. Horse’s age 11. Jockey’s weight (stone and Ibs) 12. The horse’s breeding – father (sire) and mother (dam) 13. Horse’s owner 14. Horse’s breeder 15. Birthplace of horse (outside GB) 16. Draw – position of the horse in the starting stalls

BETTING EXPLAINED Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number.

Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.

Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.

Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.

‘To win’ is for your horse to come ﬁrst. ‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come ﬁrst or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.

Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

TRENDSETTERS GUIDE Previous race trends (2013-22) can often help provide a short-list of potential winners in the current year’s races. The percentage figure after the race details is the favourite’s ‘strike rate’ in the race. Trainers who have won the race before are also highlighted if they had an entry at the final declaration stage.

Sunday 17th December 11.50 – 2m 1f Novices’ Hurdle (Fav 62%): Race run eight times since 2013 with ﬁve winning favourites and all eight having odds of 15/2 or shorter. Five winners were 1st/2nd on at least one of their last two runs with the other three all making their debuts under NH rules. Trainers to watch: D McCain (won 2016), N Richards (won 2019). 12.25 – 2m Novices’ Handicap Chase: New race in 2023. 1.00 – 2m 3f+ Novices’ Handicap Hurdle: New race in 2023. 1.35 – 2m 5f Handicap Chase: New race in 2020 (run twice before). Both winners to date carried 11st 10lbs or more and had odds of 11/4 or shorter. 2.10 – 3m 1f Handicap Hurdle (Fav 12%): Race run eight times since 2013 with the last winning favourite also in 2013. Since then two winning 2nd favourites have been seen with all winners odds being 9/1 or shorter. All but one of the last eight winners had ﬁnished 5th or better on their last completed race (excludes falls etc). 2.45 – 3m 2f Handicap Chase: Only run once before as a class 4 race in 2021. 3.20 – 2m 1f (Mares) NH Flat Race (Fav 56%): Race run seven times since 2014 with all winners odds 9/1 or shorter (no winning 2nd favourites in this period). Four of the past winners were making their NH debuts and the other three were 3rd/4th on their only previous race. Trainer to watch: S R B Crawford (won 2015 & 2020).
