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.

Given MIRABAD’s Flat ability, there should be plenty more to come from him as a hurdler this term, so he’s taken to successfully concede weight all round. Call To Duty impressed with his jumping at Stratford so he rates a threat, along with Hola Hermosa.

KAUTO THE KING: Following its run on 22/9/2024 it was reported that the horse made a bad mistake 3 out. Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Cat Tiger (FR), 7-2 Opening Bid (GB), 4-1 Kauto The King (FR), 5-1 The Gypsy Davey (IRE), 11-2 Hystery Bere (FR), 33-1 Dorrells Pierji (FR)
OPENING BID took this 12 months ago and another bold showing looks on the cards given he can race off a 2lb lower mark than when a good recent Worcester fifth. Cat Tiger could emerge as the main danger, with fellow veteran Kauto The King also not discounted in his current mood.
