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.

Probable S.P’s: 9-4 War Hawk (IRE), 4-1 Epimeteo (GB), 7-1 Gentle Warrior (IRE), 9-1 Anglophile (GB), Great David (GB), 10-1 Sourdough (GB), 20-1 Manyana Blue (GB), 33-1 Pinkarizon (IRE), 40-1 Darla’s Secret (IRE)
WAR HAWK was well on top at the finish at Lingfield last week and should take a bit of stopping turned out again under a penalty, although there are a few potential improvers against him in a typically interesting early 3-y-o handicap Hughie Morrison has won this race before and Sourdough very much has the profile of one who can go on to better things this year Chelmsford novice winner Epimeteo completes the shortlist.

Visor worn by No 7. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 2, 3, 5. Stewards Note: BORN A REBEL: Following its run on 8/3/2025 it was reported that the horse hung left-handed.
Probable S.P’s: 7-2 Ring of Gold (GB), 4-1 Double Red (GB), 9-2 Ballsbridge (USA), Fat Gladiator (IRE), 17-2 Green Power (GB), 9-1 Born A Rebel (GB), 20-1 Next Trick (IRE)
FAT GLADIATOR had a possible excuse last time and might be worth another chance to build on a promising comeback run at Kempton. Ring of Gold has shaped quite well with a visor added in recent starts and is feared most ahead of the returning Ballsbridge.
