‘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.

Jane Williams has had a few run well in this in recent times, including a win in 2022, so the suggestion is her newcomer MWABANI, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Tenter Le Tout gets the nod for the forecast spot.

Progressive in bumpers last season and successful on hurdle debut earlier in the year, EASY LOVE looks the one to beat following her third in a Cheltenham novice last month. Hurdle debutante Katie’s Melody steps up in trip and looks the main danger in receipt of weight, while the consistent Betty’s Tiara should give her running back in a novice.

BLENKINSOP has had several absences in his career, including one very long one, but he caught the eye starting out over fences at Cheltenham on return and is potentially on a good mark on his hurdles form. Not So Woolly is likely to make a better chaser so is feared most for his in-form yard

HYSTERY BERE represents a yard in good order and in the hope the omission of headgear has no effect, he can cash in on a generous piece of handicapping having been eased 3lb following a fairreappearance. Good FridayFairycan boast an excellent strike rate and is a huge danger on return, while King Califet is the unknown quantity now chasing.
