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.

EGOISTE ran well when just touched off by re-opposing Stoic Syd (the pair well clear) when they met over C&D 24 days ago, doing particularlywell having come from a long way back. They look the 2 to concentrate on again, with the former earning the vote to reverse those placings here. The Game Is Up and Handel complete the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER

SUPERB FORCE improved plenty forthe application of a visor/step up in trip when going down narrowly to another low-mileage sort at Lingfield 12 days ago (the pair clear) and with further progress anticipated, Andrew Balding’s charge ought to prove tough to beat. Morning Light, following her good second in first-time headgear over C&D, and Lingfield-scorer Rey de La Batalla head the dangers, with Magna Vega another to note on handicap bow.

PLAY SMARTER

Having displayed promise on debut over C&D, ROGUE RAIDER found the combination of the longer trip/racing freely catching him out when running below that level at Southwell 6 weeks ago and, remaining with potential, he gets the narrow vote to get back on track. Daring Legend, who shaped betterthan the bare result when last seen at Haydock in September, is of interest on debut for Mick Appleby, with Never Better also considered. So Quiet is a newcomer to note

PLAY SMARTER

This looks open but it could pay to side with GIANT, who found only an odds-on winner completing a hat-trick too strong over C&D when last seen 5 months ago and, with that form working out, Richard Spencer’s 4-y-o is taken to double his tally This drop back in trip should suit Dayman, so he may emerge as the main danger, with Rogue Thunder and Hul Ah Bah Loo another couple fancied to go well.

Those at the top of the weights make most appeal, with LISEO fancied to confirm the positive impression created when winning here in January, having shaped as if still at the top of his game in a disadvantageously-run contest at Wolverhampton last time.

PLAY SMARTER

EASTER ICON proved better than ever when winning decisively at Wolverhampton last month and he can score again as he makes only his second start for his current yard Escarpment has got back on track on his last 2 starts and could be the main danger upped in trip in a change of headgear, with Natacata completing the shortlist.
