BETTING EXPLAINED
Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number
Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.
‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.
‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.
Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.
Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.
Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

DECLARED RUNNERS 2 2025: KNIGHTS AFFAIR 5 11 4 Gavin Sheehan 2-1 (Jamie Snowden) 5 ran Tongue Strap worn by No 1. Probable S.P’s: 4-7 Loriko (FR), 11-8 Katarcice (FR)
LORIKO missed a golden opportunity at Plumpton 4 weeks ago but still rates the one to beat if bouncing back to the form he displayed at Cheltenham/Ascot in the autumn. However, Katarcice has certainly showed enough in 2 starts to think he can take advantage if the selection fails to fire.

Stewards Note:
HURRICANE BAY: Following its run on 14/4/2026 it was reported that the horse weakened quickly after the last. ICE IN THE VEINS: Following its run on 4/4/2026 it was reported that the horse ran too free.
Probable S.P’s: 2-1 Pep Talking (GB), 11-4 William Cody (GB), 9-2 Ice In The Veins (IRE), 8-1 Big Boy Barney (IRE), 12-1 Hurricane Bay (GB), Koapey (FR)
PLAY SMARTER
PEP TALKING enhanced his already healthy strike rate over fences at Chepstow 4 weeks ago, his sound jumping proving too much for his rivals. He looks sure to give another good account and may prove too strong for capable but frustrating top weight William Cody Market confidence behind chase debutant Ice In The Veins would certainly put a different slant on things, however.

ANOTHER DAY OUT capitalised on a lower hurdles mark when scoring over further here in March and, with Sean Bowen retaining the ride, she can make another bold bid returned to the larger obstacles. Chase debutante Catwalk Girl may offer chief resistance.

Running for the first time since Gelding No 1.
Stewards Note:
ISLAND GETAWAY: Following its run on 4/4/2026 it was reported that the horse ran green.
Probable S.P’s: 2-1 Island Getaway (IRE), 10-3 Meli Melo d’Angos (FR), St Julie (IRE), 5-1 St Zoe (IRE), 12-1 As You Were (IRE)
Preference is for ISLAND GETAWAY, who was found wanting for know-how when fifth in a recent C&D bumper but he should’ve derived plenty from that initial effort. Similar comments can be made about Meli Melo d’Angos, so he’s put forward as the main threat ahead of debutante St Julie, whose emerging yard has already tasted success with this family
