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.

ADAMLYI bumped into a next-time-out winner at Yarmouth at the end of last month and is selected to make the most of the 14lb he receives from the doubly penalised Runman. Lucky Camino is a newcomer who makes paper appeal, while the fact Moreedd went off at short odds on his debut suggests he’s thought to be a good bit better than he showed on that occasion.

RACECOURSE DEBUT
2025: SERENITYBLUE 3 9 2Adam Farragher6-4 (James Horton) 8 ran
Running for the first time since Gelding No 1, 11.
Stewards Note:
LIAM MERA KAI: Following its run on 20/2/2026 it was reported that the horse stopped quickly
Probable S.P’s: 2-1 Knights Charge (IRE), 4-1 Bay Royale (GB), Outflank (IRE), 13-2 Cloud Forest (GB), 8-1 Domenico Contarini (IRE), 33-1 Semele (GB), 40-1 Liam Mera Kai (FR), 66-1 Shopaholic (GB), 80-1 Zurna (GB), 100-1 Cliff Danger (GB), 150-1 Barak Warrior (IRE)
KNIGHTS CHARGE looked good at Lingfield and might be up to defying a penalty now switching to turf. Outflank has performed to a fairly useful level on both starts and is feared most ahead of C&D winner Bay Royale. Oisin Murphy’s mount Cloud Forest could have a say if the betting suggests he’s fancied on debut.

A case can be made for a few of these but NORTH FORCE is improving by the race and with this step up in trip seeming sure to suit he can go one better than when runner-up at Beverley recently Domination got off to the perfect start for Harriet Bethell when going in at Ripon and heads the list of dangers ahead of Rosa Inglesa and Capichera.

PLAY SMARTER
BARMYBLADE hinted at a revival when sixth at Redcar last time and with the Tim Easterbyyard going really well he is worth siding with to capitalise on a reduced mark. Recent Catterick scorer Irish Dancer rates the obvious threat under a 5lb penalty, while Chasing Gold, Masterclass and Bang On The Bell all need factoring in too.
