Look out for letters: C = has won at this course D = has won over this distance CD = has won over this distance at this course BF = was a beaten favourite last time EXPERT VIEW How the experts rate the horse’s chances: 2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse.

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

The horse’s breeding – father (sire) and mother (dam) 13. Horse’s owner 14. Horse’s breeder 15. Birthplace of horse (outside GB)

More information on the form - = New racing season / = Missed racing season P = was pulled-up and didn’t finish the race F = horse fell U = rider unseated R = horse refused to race CO = the horse was forced out of a race by a loose horse B = horse was brought down S = horse slipped r = the horse ran around a jump or took the wrong course in a flat race D = disqualified Bold form figures = performance in All-weather (Flat) or point-to-point (Jump) races

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

Selected to win the race.

Can be given little or no chance.

Good chance of being placed.

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.

PLAY SMARTER

BIRD ON THE WIRE resumed his progress behind an interesting pair over C&D recently, so he has to the considered the one to beat under a good value amateur fitted with first-time cheekpieces. Fraterculus has been given a chance by the handicapper back over hurdles and is feared most, ahead of West Lawn.

MELBURNIAN has had few chances in this sphere but showed fair winning form on the level in Ireland for Tony Martin and is taken to make a winning start for the excellent Rebecca Menzies.

PLAY SMARTER

Plenty of improving and unexposed colts as expected but DESERT CROWN already looks a top-class prospect, running to a very smart level when winning the Dante at York with plenty in hand, and he may well have the talent to win the Derby on just his third career start. Aidan O’Brien has a typically strong hand as he bids for a record-extending ninth win and his impressive Derby Trial winner Stone Age is a solid alternative, while Changingoftheguard shouldn’t be underestimated, either.
