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.

PICROC mayhave departed earlyon his return/chase debutat Carlisle, but he has allthe hallmarks of a useful chaser and is fancied to make amends provided he’s none the worse from that spill. The main danger may emerge from Alcedo, who hasn’t been seen since being pulled up in the Prestige Novices’ at Haydock 11 months ago but rates as a notable chasing debutant for Venetia Williams. Denemethy, who was a fortunate winner last time, completes the shortlist.

It’s highly likely that NEO KING’s mark for this handicap chase debut seriously underestimates him and this multiple point winner shades preference ahead of the Illico de Cotte, who has taken well to fences and remains open to improvement in this sphere. Pachacuti hasn’t done much wrong since switched to the larger obstacles and he is best of the rest. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.NEO
