1. FORM

EXPERT VIEW

A quick way to see a horse’s past performance. These are its recent finishing positions.

How the experts rate the horse’s chances:

Look out for Letters: C D CD BF

= Has won at this course = Has won over this distance = Has won over this distance at this course = Was a beaten favourite

MORE INFORMATION ON THE FORM / P F U R CO B S r

= New racing season = Missed racing season = Was pulled-up and didn’t finish the race = Horse fell = Rider unseated = Horse refused to race = The horse was forced out of a race by a loose horse = Horse was brought down = Horse slipped = The horse ran around a jump or took the wrong course in a flat race = Disqualified

d Bold form figures = performance in all-weather (Flat) or Point-to-Point (Jump) races

2. BHA rating = the higher the number, the better the horse.

3. Timeform view and TFR rating 4. HORSE’S TRAINER & THEIR LOCATION

Look out for the summary of leading course trainers before each race.

5. JOCKEYS Listen out for any jockeys who are having a successful day.

OTHER USEFUL DETAILS 6. Owner’s colours worn by the Jockey 7. Saddlecloth number 8. Horse’s name 9. Days since the horse last run 10. Horse’s age 11. Jockey’s weight (stone and Ibs) 12. The horse’s breeding – father (sire) and mother (dam) 13. Horse’s owner 14. Horse’s breeder 15. Birthplace of horse (outside GB)

BETTING EXPLAINED Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number.

Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.

Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of 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.

‘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.

Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

BON RETOUR seems to be finding her form again having turned in her best effort of the season at Carlisle last month and, with the winner of that race going on to frank the form at Cheltenham last week, she’s the percentage call. Lord of Cheshire has a big absence to PLAY SMARTER overcome, but he’s a low-mileage sort who returns with his yard still very much amongst the winners.

Sacchoandvanzetti has done little wrong for his new stable and ought to be thereabouts again.

ACT OF AUTHORITY wasn’t up to a Cheltenham Grade 2 last month but holds good claims with his sights lowered. Clararose and Soldierofthestorm bring C&D form to the table and might be the pair to give the selection most to do, although Irish point PLAY SMARTER recruit El Saviour could also have a say in the battle for minor honours if the betting speaks for him.

She represents a yard that has made a terrific start to the season and PLAY SMARTER resumes on what looks a fair mark.
