BETTING EXPLAINED

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.

WILL CARVER: Following its run on 30/6/2024 it was reported that the horse made a jumping error

Probable S.P’s: 11-2 Will Carver (IRE), Guard Your Dreams (GB), 6-1 Riskintheground (IRE), 7-1 Weveallbeencaught (IRE), 11-1 Marv Michael (IRE), 14-1 Dutch Schultz (GB), Bob Bob Ricard (IRE), 16-1 Jazzy Matty (FR), 18-1 Lisnamult Lad (IRE), Lord of Thunder (IRE), 28-1 Doughmore Bay (IRE), 33-1 Andys Flame (GB), 40-1 Bashers Reﬂection (GB)

This is wide open but Nicky Henderson’s WILL CARVER was unfortunate not to go 2-2 over fences when thwarted by a late blunder at Uttoxeter in the summer and gets the nod with likely more to come after breathing surgery Irish challengers Dutch Schultz (second choice) and Marv Michael both look capable ofbettertoo and rate the chiefthreats, although a host ofothers are also in the mix, namely Lord ofThunder, Weveallbeencaught and Guard Your Dreams.

MILLFORCE’s jumping technique certainly requires refinement but he strikes as the one with the most potential in this field, so gets the nod to come out on top. Intense Approach is another who’s had his fair share of jumping issues but arrives following a fine second in the Persian War, with Donnie Devito deserving respect, also

PLAY SMARTER

PEPE LE MOKO has to prove his stamina over this longer trip but he returns on a fair mark and the likelihood is we haven’t seen the best of him yet. He gets the nod. Broadway Boy has a ﬁne record here and is feared most, whilst Some Scope and Senior Chief are also much respected.

BOTTLER’SECRET has quickly developed into a useful hurdler, losing little in defeat when runner-up in the Champion Juvenile at Punchestown, so he is taken to pick up where he left off and make a winning return. Givemeﬁve also made a bright start to his hurdling career and could be the main danger with a Flat run behind him, ahead of Hasten Slowly.

Cases can be made for each member ofthe sextet butTHEATRE MAN is the one with the most persuasive claims. Indeed, he was a solid second to Ginny’s Destiny (twice placed in Grade 1 company since) in the Timeform Novices’ Handicap Chase in January, which is the best chase form on offer here. Yeats Star made a smooth transition to the larger obstacles at Listowel and he is feared most ahead of fellow Irish raider Moon d’Orange and Hyland.

Probable S.P’s: 7-2 The Dancing Tree (IRE), 11-2 Seatoit (IRE), 6-1 Fortune de Mer (IRE), 11-1 JagerTime (IRE), Everest (GB), 12-1 Cloudy View (GB), 14-1 Not So Sobers (GB), 16-1 Let Me Go Boys (IRE), 25-1 Block Rockin Beats (IRE), 28-1 Rubber Ball (GB), 33-1 Kashchei (GB), 40-1 Pougie (GB), 66-1 Oniro Olly (GB), Aeroplane Blonde (GB), Osterberg (IRE)

THE DANCING TREE created a good impression in a Limerick bumper at the start of the year and is taken to defy a penalty on his return to action. Kim Baileywon this race last season and his new recruit Seatoit rates an obvious danger Fortune de Mer and Jager Time, whose stable has a good record in this, showed promise in points and would also enter the reckoning should the betting vibes be strong.

The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards. In addition Haydock Park Racecourse employs a minimum of three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse. In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team Qualiﬁed paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.
