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.

MALAITA ran no sort of race over fences at Aintree when last seen in May and her fitness has to be taken on trust, but she reverts to hurdling on a workable mark and is an appealing candidate down in grade. Crystal Glance is another returning from a break but won readily over C&D in the spring and remains unexposed at the trip, while Doc Mccoywasted no time getting back on track when second at Bangor last month and could be seen to good effect from the front once again.

The market should reveal plenty for this closing bumper but the vote goes to Dan Skelton’s RODDERS who appeals on paper and is taken to make a winning start Hopeless Dancer shaped well when a debut third at Worcester and looks a big danger though, while Aj’s Diamond can also have a say if on song after a break.
