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.

MY BOY AARON showed much more than previously over hurdles on the back of a breathing operation when third at Newbury a month ago and on that evidence, he can win a maiden hurdle such as this. Dutch Corner looks the chief threat, though Karpenn needs checking in the betting starting out for Venetia Williams.

Next on the list is Local Derby, who didn’t get very far last time but he jumped well enough when scoring at Wincanton in January and he may also have more to offer Blue In The West and handicap debutante Jurassic Pet also enter calculations, along with Loki’s Mischief

MADAJOVY is on the upgrade now and can get off the mark over a trip which may prove to be his optimum. Eton Mes had excuses when unable to land the hat-trick last time and remains of interest despite his new mark kicking in. Noble Blue made an encouraging start for new connections when second over hurdles here and he completes the shortlist.

VOLEUR DE TERRES confirmed her win from out of the handicap was no fluke when following up at Warwick and should make a bold bid forthe hat-trick. StealThe Moves looked rejuvenated bythe fitting of cheekpieces when runner-up at Ffos Las and rates the main threat ahead of Girls Best Friend, who might have found heavy ground against him last time.

PLAY SMARTER
MACKLIN was beaten by rivals with significantly higher BHA marks than those he faces here on his latest start under Rules at Cheltenham last spring and, with his wellbeing in no doubt following a decisive display between the flags last month, the 10-y-o should prove hard to beat. Crawter, successful on his sole previous start in this sphere and 4-11 in points, is second choice ahead of Haven’t Time and Theformismighty
