‘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.

Nicky Henderson’s lightly-raced point scorer IDEAL DES BORDES catches the eye now he goes chasing so is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of Hereford scorer Muskoka. Both Wrappedupinmay and Lagonda can also have a say in this intriguing handicap

It was a shade disappointing that ETERNAL ANGEL failed to deliver when sent off favourite for a Doncaster novice during the Christmas period, having shaped well prior to that in a bumper and on debut in this sphere at Huntingdon. However, he still showed enough on Town Moor to suggest that a race ofthis nature will be well within his grasp Bumperwinner South Omo Zone is interesting switched to hurdles on his first run for Olly Murphy and is clear second choice ahead of I’d Go Maniac.

ODIN’S QUEST: Following its run on 27/3/2024 it was reported that the horse was found to have bled.
ST LUKES CHELSEA: Following its run on 10/12/2024 it was reported that the horse made a jumping mistake.
Probable S.P’s: 9-2 St Lukes Chelsea (GB), 8-1 Dirty Den (GB), 10-1 John Betjeman (GB), 11-1 Strong Belle (GB), 12-1 Mairis Icon (GB), Odin’s Quest (GB), 14-1AnotherFine Mess (IRE), MrZee (IRE), 16-1Je Suis Sacre (FR), 18-1 Siam Park (IRE), 20-1 Rapid Mission (GB), 33-1 Belle Montrose (IRE), Just Aidan (IRE), 40-1 Basman Palace (SAF), 50-1 Cawthorne Banker (IRE), Chicago Storm (GB), 300-1 ChesterTonik (FR), No Guarantee (GB)
This could go the way of ST LUKES CHELSEA who travelled well when runner-up at Fontwell last time out and can build on it now sent into handicap company for the first time. Dirty Den is feared most off a handy-looking mark, although Mr Zee, John Betjeman and Another Fine Mess all warrant plenty of respect too in a very open contest.

LOKI’S MISCHIEF is armed with potential now stepping into handicap company and is a step ahead of the assessor,too, giventhat he’s dueto go up 7lb forlast week’s highlyencouraging effort in aTaunton novice. The 5-y-o shades preference ahead of Fine Casting, who is taken to reverse last month’s Lingfield placings with the up-and-coming Kado de Joie on these revised terms. That said, the latter is respected in his hat-trick bid and Firestream is of interest, despite the lengthy absence.

A few with chances but CLOUD DANCER relished the step up in trip when going in at Doncaster last time and can defy a 6lb rise. Gustoso also remains unexposed as a stayer on the back of his Hereford success and rates a big dangerthough with Grozni, Lemoncello and Rivers Corner in the picture too.

THE BIG BREAKAWAY: Following its run on 30/12/2024 it was reported that the horse hung left-handed.

KATATE DORI has created an excellent impression since sent over fences and a 5lb rise for his comfortable Chepstow victory doesn’t look sufficient to prevent him from going 3-3. David Pipe’s resurgent King Turgeon rates the obvious threat in his bid to complete a four-timer, although the likes of Take Your Time, Ballygrifincottage and Collectors Item can all have a say too in this cracking handicap

BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards. In addition Wincanton Racecourse employs three veterinary surgeons, whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the racecourse’s veterinary team Qualified paramedics and doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving treatment. This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment. If necessary, horses and riders will be transported from the course to receive further treatment at the nearest equine hospital or Accident & Emergency hospital.
