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.

Cases can be made for several, but it could be worth taking a chance on ZAINY CHAMP, who failed to kick on after his course success in December but could well get back on track now switchedtothe largerobstacles (yard have fine recordwith chasing debutants) Saint Cyrde Pail has also won here this winter and he can provide most resistance, with Bertie Wooster and last year’s runner-up Rangatira Jack rounding off the shortlist.
