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

PLACING 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

A useful performer in bumpers, MISS LAMB proved fresh and ultimately was undone by a bad mistake when third on hurdles debut at Wetherby back in February It’s feasible to think she will have derived plenty from that and she could be the answer on return. C&D winner Royale Dance rates the type to improve and is respected, whilst Ruby Island, who set a solid foundation in bumpers, is also respected.

Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No. 9.

Stewards Note:

WITHOUT CONVICTION: Following its run on 24/11/2022 it was reported that the horse ran flat.

LOVELY MOON: Following its run on 30/10/2022 it was reported that the horse hung left handed throughout.

Probable S.P’s: 10-3 Cash Again (FR), 9-2 Graystown (IRE), 5-1 Without Conviction (IRE), 13-2 Lovely Moon (IRE), 10-1 Well Cliche (IRE), 12-1 Castlegrange (IRE), 16-1 Shoughall’s Boy (IRE), Absolutely Dylan (IRE), 25-1 Amber Run (IRE)

Cases can be made for a few of these but GRAYSTOWN was in the process of running well when falling late on here 3 weeks ago. Provided he’s none the worse from that spill, Stuart Coltherd’s charge gets the verdict to notch a fifth course success at the expense of Cash Again, who stopped the slide back over fences when runner-up at Sedgefield last month. Lovely Moon and Without Conviction rounds off the shortlist.

Stewards Note:

RHYME SCHEME: Following its run on 15/9/2022 it was reported that the horse suffered interference in running. Probable S.P’s: EVENS Camdonian (IRE), 3-1 Choosethenews (IRE), 10-1 Captain Westie (IRE), 18-1 No Tackle (GB), 20-1 Shantou’s Temple (GB), 22-1 Prince of Perth (IRE), 66-1 Goodoldbill (GB), 150-1 Is So Cute Dimaria (FR), Rhyme Scheme (IRE), 300-1 Blame Rose (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER

CAMDONIAN returned with a respectable effort at Uttoxeter and this may well be the ideal opportunity for him to open his account before a return to handicaps. Easy point winner Choosethenews is an obvious danger and Captain Westie could get involved if he takes to hurdling on the back of a lengthy absence.

Note: COOLMOYNE: Following its run on 16/11/2022 it was reported that the horse had a breathing problem. Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Follow Your Arrow (FR), 9-2 Arthur’s Quay (IRE), 7-1 Budarri (GB), 15-2 Fourth of July (IRE), 10-1 Chemical Warfare (IRE), 11-1 Bandit d’Ainay (FR), 16-1 Silken Moonlight (GB), 22-1 Lastin’ Memories (GB), 25-1 Coolmoyne (GB), 33-1 Ingleby Mackenzie (GB)

ARTHUR’S QUAY is unexposed for his current stable and hinted at a revival when third at Newcastle last time, so he’s worth a chance to capitalise on this drop in grade. Follow Your Arrow goes well here and made a positive return from 5 months off recently, so he’s regarded as the main danger while Chemical Warfare is deserving of a market check on chasing debut.

FORM 160-340

TIMEFORM VIEW Responded well to first-time blinkers when landing a 23.7f Newcastle novice in February Largely below par since, though, and recent reappearance (also first run following a wind op) at Kelso was hardly promising. 24Nov Kel 25f HcpH soft 8/10 Hoganville (IRE) 28l 10Jul Per 23f HcpH good 4/4 Glen Ava (IRE) 23l 29May Kel 25f HcpH gd-fm 3/7 Brandy McQueen (IRE) 3l

TIMEFORM VIEW Showed signs of ability last season and while his reappearance spin in a Market Rasen maiden was very low-key, this 5-y-o should be sharper now and, moreover the switch to handicap company/step up in trip here could bring about improvement. 10Nov Mkt 16f Hdl gd-sf 8/11 Chasing Fire 35l Dec21 Seg 19f Hdl soft P/8 No Word of A Lie Nov21 Mkt 18f Hdl good 4/5 Rocky Lake (IRE) 23l

FORM 503622

TIMEFORM VIEW Yet to get his head in front but knocking firmly on the door of late, runner-up at Ffos Las on penultimate start and was only narrowly denied by the in-form Fenland Tiger over this C&D last time. Another bold show anticipated.

FORM 2633-02

TIMEFORM VIEW Several decent bits and pieces of form to her name, including when second in a 5-runner handicap over 23f at Market Rasen last moth. However, it’s hard to ignore the fact that she’s 0-19 overall.

TIMEFORM VIEW Off the mark over C&D in March and wasn’t beaten far on return back here last month. Subsequent display at Market Rasen was rather tame, though, even allowing for the fact that she was 8lb ‘wrong’ at the weights.
