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.

Low-mileage 10-y-o JUNIPER has made a positive start for this yard and this very assured jumper is taken to complete the hat-trick having another go in this (went close behind extremely well-in rival 12 months ago). La Renommee rates a big threat back down in class, with Moviddy another to consider back chasing.

COTTIE has dropped to a dangerous mark judged on the pick of her Irish form and is worth chancing to stage a revival for a stable which very much targets these valuable handicap hurdles. Realisation and Shelikesthelights are unexposed opponents who could have more to offer, while Lone Star is back to the mark she defied when winning a nice prize at Musselburgh last spring.

LADYADARE had looked on the up until possibly finding the run coming too quickly at Exeter so isworth sidingwithto bounce back in style on herhandicap debut. Midnight Gingercould emerge as the main danger with this drop back in trip looking a big plus, although both Game On For Glory and Malaita command plenty of respect too in a competitive event

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
