‘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.

PLAY SMARTER

NOISY JAZZ will need to settle down to have a good future as a hurdler but he’s sure to be well prepared for this and is fancied to outclass these. Stablemate High Court Judge wasn’t as good as the selection on the Flat but he can boast a good strike rate and has experience in this code on his side. Arcon is another to consider

LIHYAN is a tricky character but is only 1lb higher than when coming from last to first in a falsely-run race at Uttoxeter back in the autumn, so he gets the nod dropping substantially in grade. Kitesurfer and Dear Ralphy are considered the main threats.
