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.

Sam Thomas’ useful Ascot scorer DOCTOR BLUE holds the clear edge on form and is worth forgiving his latest Doncaster sixth when reported to have bled so he gets the vote over Lisbane Park who acquitted himself really well pitched into handicap company when third at Windsor and rates a big danger back in maiden company. Kapitein Kool is proving progressive and should also be on the premises.

None of these can be ruled out but KALHANDRION seemed on course for a second chasing success ofthe season at Doncaster last time until departing four out and can make amends here off an unchanged mark. Fencing newcomer Mountain Mike has an absence to overcome but hails from an in-form yard so could emerge as the chief threat ahead of Itseemslikeit and Laganhill.

Stewards Note: JUBILEE EXPRESS: Following its run on 27/12/2025 it was reported that the horse would prefer a slower surface.
Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Jubilee Express (FR), 4-1 Catch Catchfire (GB), 5-1 Largy Poet (IRE), 7-1 Icaque de L’Isle (FR), 12-1 Art Decco (GB), Sizable Sam (GB), 14-1 Gold Clermont (FR), Ithaka (IRE)
JUBILEE EXPRESS sets the standard on best form and is taken to bounce back from a disappointing run in the Welsh National. Catch Catchfire is the danger following his improved success in the Surrey National, while Icaque de L’Isle’s Lingfield win has been franked and he should hold his own upped in grade.
