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.

IRISH CHORUS is in the winning groove and might be able to defy the handicapper again. Politacus is feared most back at the scene of her runner-up effort in March. The booking of Harry Cobden suggests Tommy Cullen should be readyto go after a break, while Lacrima needs a betting check back chasing.

Harry Cobden can get his time as the official number one to J P McManus off to the perfect start by partnering IMPERIAL BEDE to victory Full Force Gale was a promising second on his handicap chase debut over C&D at the end of March and is feared most ahead of Diligent Militia, who was a lot better than the result on his first venture into handicap company.
