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.

LEADER IN THE PARK looked the useful chasing prospect his physique and efforts over hurdles suggested he would be when leaving his reappearance run well behind to score at Kempton on Boxing Day and he can defy a 4lb rise with further progress likely The highly-regarded Southoftheborder is the obvious threat switched to fences on his belated return, with Galassian best of the others.

AUNTY CHRISTINE makes her handicap debut on the back of an encouraging display in what looked a decent novice at Catterick last month and she earns the vote ahead of the in-form pair Emma Hamilton and Ideallko.The formeris feared most on account ofthe fact that Ideallko needs to prove that he can reproduce something akin to his improved chase form now returning to this sphere. Greenways shouldn’t be too far away and Rockette needs a market check.

A smart handicap chaser in his pomp, LORD DU MESNIL gets the nod to make a successful start in this discipline and provide owner/jockey David Maxwell with another winner at the expense of Eva’s Oskar, who could prove a tough nut to crack pitched into a hunter chase if anywhere near his best following a 15-month absence (trainer/jockey combination successful in similar event at Taunton earlier in month). Lift Me Up and Bennys King can fight out minor honours.
