RACECARD

1. FORM

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

Look out for Letters:

D = Has won over this distance

CD = Has won over this distance at this course

BETTING

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.

EXPERT VIEW

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’S TRAINER & THEIR LOCATION

Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race

Listen out for any jockeys who are having a successful day.

PLAY SMARTER

FIRST LORD DE CUET has returned better than ever after 19 months off and this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account over fences. Sizable Sam is still relatively unexposed as a chaser and can provide the main threat.

PLAY SMARTER

Fairly useful bumper scorer BONTTAY shaped well on her hurdling bow when runner-up at Lingfield and is very hard to oppose here given that form reads much better than anything else on show. Huntingdon third Symphorine looks the one to chase home Fergal O’Brien’s mare with Masked Matgil appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

JUDEX LEFOU got right back on track when runner-up at Ludlow so is taken to repeat last year’s success in this. The lightly-raced Lagonda switches to fences for her handicap bow and may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Windance, who showed enough at Uttoxeter to suggest he retains his ability after an absence.

PLAY SMARTER

If able to build on the promise of his hurdles debut second at Carlisle, THE KING OF RYHOPE should prove hard to beat. Moving up in trip is unlikely to be an issue for this former point winner and he gets the nod ahead of Great Name That, who also made an encouraging start in this sphere at Ffos Las. Copper Cove is open to improvement and makes some each-way appeal, a remark that also applies to Max’s Champ on the strength of his latest effort at Cheltenham.

Racehorse and Jockey Welfare

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 deliver these standards. In addition Exeter Racecourse employs 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.
