‘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.

STRACKAN: Following its run on 15/3/2025 it was reported that the horse was found to have bled.

Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Champagne Twist (IRE), Andy Amo (IRE), 4-1 Hidden History (GB), 7-1 King of Answers (IRE), 9-1 Theatre Man (IRE), 14-1 El Granjero (IRE), 16-1 Strackan (GB)

A case can be made for each of these, but this may go the way of a chase debutant. HIDDEN HISTORY was progressive over hurdles last season and narrowly gets the vote ahead of fellow point winner Champagne Twist, who would be dangerous if back to the form he showed as a novice hurdler El Granjero looks the most solid of those with form over fences.

JAVERTALLEN: Following its run on 22/3/2025 it was reported that the horse made a mistake.

ALCEDO: Following its run on 21/2/2025 it was reported that the horse lost its right-fore shoe.

Probable S.P’s: 4-1 Highlands Legacy (GB), 9-2 Mambonumberfive (FR), 15-2 Javert Allen (FR), 8-1 Alcedo (IRE), Dunstall Rambler (IRE), 10-1 Jour d’Evasion (FR), 11-1 Ryan’s Rocket (IRE), 12-1 Netywell (FR), 14-1 Flamelco (FR), 300-1 Glengouly (FR)

HIGHLANDS LEGACY was well on top at the finish when making a winning chase debut at Worcester and, with the promise of betterto come, he is taken to maintain his 100% record in this sphere. If Mambonumberfive makes a good shape over fences at the first attempt he will be a big threat armed with his handy 4-y-o allowance, while Javert Allen is third choice ahead of Dunstall Rambler, who scored in good style on his reappearance.

WHITE RHINO bled when pulled up in the Grimthorpe at Doncaster when last seen in March, yet his profile was most positive prior to that and he could be worth siding with to bounce back on return with the booking of Sean Bowen very much catching the eye. Sam Thomas has made a very bright start to the campaign and his Our Power is anotherto consider Last year’s winner King Turgeon, Johnnywho and Colonel Harry complete the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER

Lightly raced 8-y-o DOMINIC’S FAULT was on the up before being brought down at Sandown in January and given his record when fresh, he’s fancied to make a winning return. There’s surely more to come from Don’t Mind If I Do who could be well-treated on first start in a handicap, while Ludlow winner Le Yacht is completely unexposed on his handicap bow. Paddys Policy’s Wetherby form has been given a boost and he’s another to consider in an interesting handicap for the grade.

Newcomers MERLIN ALLEN and Maxios Aurelius both make plenty of appeal on paper and confidence behind either in the betting would look significant. As things stand, preference is forthe former, who is out of a bumperwinner and represents a yard with a good record in this sphere. Pureis King landed the odds on debut at Market Rasen and is greatly respected, despite his penalty, and PowerQuest will also be a threat, provided he settles betterthan he did first time out at Exeter

NOTICES

Weights, Pedigrees, Trainers’ Names, Descriptions, Performances and Values of races have been added for the convenience of the Public, but are subject to alteration.

The Management reserves the right to refuse admission to anyone without assigning a reason for so doing.

PARADE RING ACCESS

In the interests of safety, access to the parade ring is strictly limited to Owners and Trainers with runners in the race, British Horseracing Authority Officials and Racecourse Officials who are on duty at the meeting and Emergency Service Personnel. Those people holding badges or accreditation that allow access to the Parade Ring are asked to refrain from entering this area unless it is absolutely necessary in the course of their business.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Racegoers may take photographs for private purposes in the public enclosures. Under no circumstances may photographs taken on the racecourse be used for publication without prior accreditation being obtained.

RACEHORSE & JOCKEY WELFARE

The welfare of the sport’s equine and human participants is paramount to British Horseracing. All racehorses

competing in Britain are stabled at the premises of trainers who are licensed by The British Horseracing Authority. The standards demanded by The BHA of licensed racehorse trainers far exceed those prescribed by animal welfare legislation. The British Horseracing Authority similarly licenses every racecourse, setting high standards for the racing surface and all parts of the course used by competitors, both human and equine. BHA Officials ensure that racecourses delivers these standards. In addition Aintree Racecourse employs a minimum of 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.
