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.

In a race where few arrive with compelling claims DAWN’S DESIRE is given a chance to build on last month’s Fontwell third. Blue In The West and Locked Down Lad could pose threats if able to shrug off lesser runs last time, while Hughie Morrison’s Urban Isle is a handicap newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.

MADAME DE LABRUNIE is only a tiddler, but she sets a clear standard down in grade and is difficult to oppose. Knight of Magic has been successful 3 times on the level for James Owen since last seen over hurdles and looks the obvious one to give the selection most to think about.

BANNERDOWN showed promise under a considerate ride on his debut at Stratford last month and with that form recently franked bythe winner, he’s fancied to get offthe mark at the second time of asking. Horethorne is bred more for stamina than speed but wouldn’t need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a serious impact. Triple Edge is a well-bred sort who is entitled to step forward from his initial outing, too.
