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.

PLAY SMARTER

ISSAR D’AIRY has made a seamless transition to the larger obstacles and, with the promise of better to come from this 6-y-o, he is taken to make it 3-3 in this sphere. Soul Icon is likely to emerge as the main danger now back down in class, while Beau Balko merits respect on the back of his Musselburgh success.

OUTLAW PETER has taken well to fences this season, running a cracker when third in a deep handicap at Musselburgh 6 weeks ago, and shades the vote over coursespecialist Flegmatik, who had Tuesday’s Ultima Handicap winner Chianti Classico 2 lengths behind when winning here in January Millers Bank is potentially on a nice mark back in a handicap, though he does have a bit to prove on balance.

PLAY SMARTER

IMPERIOUS STAR shaped with encouragement behind subsequent Grade 2 winner Golden Ace on her belated debut at Taunton last month and is selected to get off the mark at the second time of asking with improvement on the cards. Wyenot is worth another chance to build on her earlier promise and is feared most ahead of Jeune Belle, who has a bit to prove at present.

PLAY SMARTER

JAVA POINT had more in hand than the bare result indicates when scoring at Sandown and he remains well treated after just a 4lb rise, so he’s fancied to follow up at the possible expense of Egbert, who scored at Doncaster last time and now has blinkers applied. Statuario can make his presence felt if he retains all of his ability (not seen for 18 months)
