HORSLYX who kindly donate a 5kg tub of their respiratory or digestive balancer to the winning trainer of each race are responsible for sponsoring the 5th race today. Thanks also go to Langley Castle Hotel, Paxton’s an independently owned agriculture machinery dealership with branches throughout the north, together with the sponsors of the “Buttermere Handicap Chase”.

Whilst on the racecourse if you require assistance please contact the racecourse office situated next to the turnstiles or ask any member of Racecourse, Stewarding or Catering staff who will be happy to assist.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and look forward to welcoming everyone back on course at our Cheltenham Festival meeting on Thursday 14th March.

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.

LUNAR DISCOVERY overcame mistakes to make a successful start in this sphere over C&D and, with her jumping likely to be sharper this time, she’s worth chancing to defy a penalty.

PLAY SMARTER Smurfette is an obvious threat having shaped nicely at Warwick recently and March Wind can feature if she takes to the new discipline.

TRAVAIL D’ORFEVRE took a step forward when scoring at Carlisle and, with his yard among the winners and further progress not out of the question, he is taken to follow up. He’s up against two course specialists in Cudgel and Treshnish, mind, with the former, who was fourth behind the selection at PLAY SMARTER Carlisle and now 4lb better off for a three-length beating, feared most. Doyouknowwhatimean arguably possesses the greatest potential of these but this drop back in trip is of dubious benefit.
