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

Stewards Note:
ALLBETSOFF: Following its run on 14/6/2025 it was reported that the horse weakened quickly late-on.
Probable S.P’s: 9-2 Love True (FR), Huit Reflets (FR), 7-1 Mr Sundancer (GB), Dickens (IRE), 9-1 Blended Stealth (GB), 10-1 Malangen (IRE), National Question (IRE), 11-1 Allbetsoff (IRE), 16-1 Earlofbrackenstown (IRE)
This is wide open so at the likely odds it could pay to side with veteran MALANGEN to repeat his success of 12 months ago at the chief expense of Jennie Candlish’s handily-weighted new recruit Dickens. C&D scorers National Question and Huit Reflets also need factoring into this very open contest.

TIMEFORM VIEW Little impact in 5 starts for Mark Walford and well beaten in 2 Points in March. Immediately bettered those efforts on stable debut when runner-up at Southwell (24.3f) from 1lb out the weights earlier this month. That remains just fair form and she’ll need to step forward again to win
Probable S.P’s: 5-2 Fortune The Brave (IRE), Man of Action (IRE), 7-1 Brave Adam (IRE), Belladinotte (IRE), 12-1 Perfect Poli (GB), Foxwood (IRE), 16-1 Balally Park (IRE)
C&D winner MAN OF ACTION arrives in excellent heart having landed the double at Perth 2 weeks ago and he’s taken to complete the hat-trick at the expense of Fortune The Brave, who has likely been campaigned with handicaps in mind and may well be better than he’s shown so far, while Brave Adam isn’t ruled out from his slightly lower hurdles mark on stable debut.
