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.

Plenty ofthese arrive with questions to answer soJUNIOR DES MOTTES is a confident selection to register his third success of the campaign at the expense of Getaway Sam, who ran his best race when sixth at Hereford earlier in the month. Silver Gale looks best of the remainder

KAP DE TRIOMPHE races off the same mark he defied when registering his breakthrough victory over hurdles at Plumpton last week and he could be worth siding with to follow up on his first go over fences. El Rojo Grande could hardly be in better form and he’s also high on the shortlist. Claim du Brizais for Dan Skelton and chase debutants Full Force Gale and Knightsbridge are others commanding a second look.
