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.

PLAY SMARTER
LAND AFAR clearly hasn’t been the easiest to train, yet the pick of his exploits overthe winter confirm he retains plenty of ability and, given a short break on the back of his Leicester run in January, this looks a good opportunity for him to resume winning ways 4-y-o Denzil will appreciate this ease in class and rates the chief threat.

PLAY SMARTER
Not a strong race with RANGATIRA JACK very much the percentage call on the back of a runner-up effort in a stronger C&D handicap than this last time. Moonlight Artist is the danger if the combination of a breathing operation and a tongue tie has the desired effect.

AL SAYAH made it 2 from 2 in handicap hurdles when scoring in dominant fashion at Hereford last May, before going on to complete the hat-trick on the Flat, so she is taken to make a winning return to hurdling with her yard going well. She can get the better of last-time-out winner Super Saint, while Broderick isn’t ruled out on handicap debut. TIMEFORM PREDICTION:

CAMPAIGN TRAIL has a very fair mark to work on based on his opening hurdles run along with his established Flat form and in the hope cheekpieces allow him to travel with a bit more zest kept to this sort of trip, he may well be the answer Inside Man and Seeyouinmydreams both return from a break and retain a bit of potential, so are feared most.

It wasn’t too long ago when SWITCH HITTER was running to a useful level and he looks the one to beat having won his last 3 starts in points. King’s Quay won a C&D hunter on his Rules debut almost 2 years ago and that form has worked out well so he may emerge as the main threat on the back of a spin in a point in February
