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)

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.

TINTINTIN stepped up on an encouraging reappearance when landing a Lingfield handicap 7 weeks ago and this looks a weaker race, so he’s worth a chance to defy a PLAY SMARTER 3-lb rise. Kansas du Berlais looks well treated starting out for a new yard, so he’s regarded as the main danger ahead of Royal Jewel.

He found further improvement and impressed with how he saw things out when finishing a close third in a good race at Newbury and promises to do PLAY SMARTER better again upped to 3m. The Changing Man is very well treated on the pick of his form and is a player if dispelling his Warwick run, along with Hurricane Highway.

Syd Hosie’s charge is now 8lb better off with that rival and makes plenty of appeal. Valirann Gold put PLAY SMARTER in a good shift at Chepstow last time, all things considered, and he is just about second choice ahead of Bolsover Bill and Time To Bite, who were first and third respectively over C&D on New Year’s Day.

A competitive handicap. Although WRAPPEDUPINMAY was only fifth on his Ascot handicap debut, he wasn’t beaten far and the form has already been boosted so he could prove the answer for the Paul Nicholls team. Oak Creek and Hercules Morse are other unexposed types who could have a PLAY SMARTER say, with the market potentially informative regarding the latter given he hasn’t been seen since a maiden win a year ago. Raddon Top’s good C&D record also affords him respect.
