EACH HORSE HAS BEEN GIVEN A STAR RATING, DEFINITION BELOW: Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

Selected to win the race.

Good chance of being placed.

Can be given little or no chance.

By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims.

BET TING WITH THE BOOKMAKERS DIFFERENT WAYS TO BET - WIN OR EACH-WAY

The two main types of bet are win and each-way. For win bets, your horse needs to win the race outright. An each-way bet is effectively two bets – one for your horse to win and one for it to be placed. So a £2 each-way bet will cost £4. A bookmaker taking each-way bets will display the terms on which they accept such bets on their board.

In conjunction with The RCA, the bookmakers have introduced standard each-way terms. Bookmakers will provide these terms, or better, when offering each-way betting.

• Fewer than 3 runners - Win bets only, no places offered • 3 or 4 runners – Win bets only . Where a bookmaker wishes to depart from this default position they may offer place terms at 1/5 odds a place 1-2.

• 5 – 7 runners (inclusive) – 1/4 odds a place 1-2 • 8 or more runners – 1/5 odds a place 1-2-3 • Handicaps with 12 to 15 runners (inclusive) – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3 • Handicaps with 16 to 21 runners (inclusive) – 1/5 odds a place 1-2-3-4 • Handicaps with 22 or more runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3-4

PL ACING YOUR BET

Shop around for the best odds. When you have decided where to place your bet, state the number of your horse and the stake, for example “Number 4, £2 win”. Listen to the bookmaker repeat the number of the horse and the stake to their clerk and hand them your money. You will then be given an itemised receipt detailing your bet and potential winnings. You should keep this safe until you have heard ‘Weighedin’ announced after the race. If your bet is successful, hand your ticket to the bookmaker and they will give you your winnings.

We’ll pay whichever is better!

We’ll always pay at least SP on Win bets and if the Tote dividend is greater, we’ll pay out at that price. Tote.co.uk, Tote.ie, Tote App and selected UK racecourse customers only. Promotion applies to Tote Win and win part of each way bets on all UK & Irish races, staking limits apply. Full terms and conditions available at Tote.co.uk/promotions.

PLAY SMARTER

The handicapper might have been kind dropping CUP OF COFFEE another 3lb for her Doncaster fourth and she looks the way to go. Lord Caprio got stuck in the mud at Wetherby last time but had enjoyed a decent spell prior to that and could bounce back after a break. For Three won twice when cheekpieces were added last summer and also needs considering on his return from a break.

PLAY SMARTER

INTO OVERDRIVE opened his chase account in decisive fashion at Carlisle recently and while he’s now 9lb worse off at the weights with the re-opposing runner-up Trevelyn’s Corn, Mark Walford’s charge may have more to offer in this sphere and is taken to follow up. Trevelyn’s Corn is certainly entitled to get closer this time and is clear next best ahead of the veteran Wee Small Hours.

PLAY SMARTER

Having taken a step back in the right direction here recently, FOLLOW YOUR ARROW may well be the answer. Indeed, this step back up in trip should be in his favour and he has been handed what appears to be a fair mark for this handicap debut. The same is also true of Augharue who, like fellow 5-y-o Johnson’s Blue, needs a second look, but if on a going day back hurdling Tokaramore could be the main danger. Glory also enters calculations.

PLAY SMARTER

LE TUEUR was a fair winner over hurdles and is weighted to open his account in this sphere here being able to race off the same mark as when an excellent second at Plumpton.

Hidden Cargo is still a maiden but feared most on the back of his very good C&D second, with the lightly-raced Space Safari no forlorn hope either.

John McConnell has a very healthy 3-8 record with his runners here over the years and his BELLA UNION gets the nod to build on an encouraging opening run at Carlisle. Ruby Island and Capel Green are others who arrive on the back of encouraging debut runs, while Top Cloud won a point bumper last month and would also enter the reckoning should the betting speak in his favour.
