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.

LE MILOS hasn’t got his head in front since landing a major Newbury handicap back in November 2022, but there were positives to take form his latest effort at Chepstow and this first foray into veterans company could prove fruitful. If Shakem Up’arry stays on all fours this time he is bound to pose a threat and Editeur du Gite would take some catching offthis much reduced mark if returning to anything like his best. Smarty Wild is also shortlisted.

PANICATTACK looked on very good terms with herselfwhen striking overfences at Windsorand she is likelyto prove a tough nut to crack returned to this sphere offthe same mark. Though thwarted in his hat-trick bid at Aintree, Act of Authority shaped as though still in good form and, given a short break since, he could emerge as the main danger Shanagh Bob is also feared, despite doubts as to whether this drop back in trip will work in his favour, and Irish Hill merits respect, too.
