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.

Stewards Note:

PLAY SMARTER

Having made a very encouraging start over hurdles this term, CLASSIC KING looked the most likely winner when crashing out at the last on his most recent outing at Newbury 31 days ago and Emma Lavelle’s charge looks to hold serious claims once more provided that hasn’t left its mark. Bhaloo rates the chief threat back from a short break with Patanita next best.

The Great British Bonus (GBB) offers multiple bonuses of up to £20,000 per eligible race for British-bred fillies and mares.

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them but FERRYBRIDGE is a notable exception and taken to follow up his recent Huntingdon chase win back in this sphere. Orchestra is weighted to have a big say if back on song now going handicaps so must enter calculations, while Millford Sound is another to consider if building on his Market Rasen tenth.

SANITISER: Following its run on 13/11/2023 it was reported that the horse made a mistake.

ERIC CARMEN: Following its run on 1/4/2024 it was reported that the horse stopped quickly

CLENCHED: Following its run on 3/3/2024 it was reported that the horse made a respiratory noise.

Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Salvatore (GER), 9-2 Martin Spirit (IRE), 5-1 By The Grace (GB), 6-1 Sanitiser (GB), 8-1 Swiss Money (FR), 20-1 Eric Carmen (IRE), 22-1 Lahire (FR), 33-1 Uncle Arthur (GB), Clenched (GB)

SWISS MONEY looks to have got in very lightly for his first venture into handicap company so this fairly useful ex-French Flat scorer is fancied to resume winning ways Gary Moore’s Sanitiser appeals as the chief danger on the back of his eye-catching Kempton fourth, with Salvatore and Martin Spirt appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

The vote in this competitive contest goes to MOJO EGO, who pulled well clear with the runner-up (winner since) when striking at Kelso and he maywell have more to offer now moving into a handicap Fellow handicap debutant Yalla Habibi did the job well in a Fakenham maiden last time and he is feared most, albeit only marginally as Mr Mackay is of strong interest now eased in class, while King William Rufus and Toonagh Warrior are others with decent claims.
