EXPERTVIEW
How the experts rate the horse’s chances:
2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse.
3. Timeform view and TFR rating
4. HORSE’STRAINER &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)
Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number
Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.
‘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.
Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to 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.
Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.
If you are attending with younger racegoers, there will be lots of free activities in the Hall of Fame throughout TheApril Meeting including arts and crafts for them to enjoy, as well as a mechanical horse (an equicizer), which the children can have a go on whilst wearing jockeys’silks.

PLAY SMARTER
This is fiercely competitive but WINDTOTHELIGHTNING still appears to have a lot of improvement left in her and she’s fancied to complete a hat-trick. Dollar Bae and Lone Star, another pair of improving types, could pose a serious threat, while there are a whole host of others for whom a case can be made.

The one with the most obvious potential is Irish-raider MEDIANARANJA, who delivered a fluent round of jumping when opening heraccount from the front at Limerick.This istougherbut heropening mark looks fair and she may well be equal to the task. The Nicky Henderson-trained duo Arclight and Under Control rate the main dangers, with the former feared most, for all that she is the apparent second-string judged on jockey bookings. Komedy Kicks and Obsessedwithyou are live each-way candidates.

Pioneering research into how horses see the world is helping reduce risk in racing
The colour used on hurdles and fences at all racecourses across Britain has changed from orange to white.
•Horses see in a reduced number of colours and don't see orange and red as humans do.
•Research by Exeter University showed that the clarity of obstacles in racing for horses could be improved by the use of white, and British racing made the change
•Effects on any changes in faller rates are now being monitored.
•Changing the colour on fences is one part of a bigger body of work by the Horse Welfare Board and British Racing to continuously reduce risk in the sport

PLAY SMARTER
Lots with chances but the vote goes to DONTYAWANTME who just holds the edge on form and also looked to have more to offer when third in a Sandown listed bumper last time. Mary seems sure to build on her debut Warwick second and rates the chief threat, although Irish point winner Bobbi’s Beauty and Musselburgh-scorer El Elefante both need considering too along with the re-hooded Whisperonthewind.
