BETTING EXPLAINED

‘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.

CROSSGALES KING has been much improved in handicaps of late, pulling clear with another progressive type when runner-up over C&D 3 weeks ago He earns the vote to conﬁrm recent promise ahead of Hereford scorer Springtime Legend who looks sure to be suited by this further increase in trip Jack Sprat and the returning Dr Seb are others worth a second look.

PLAY SMARTER

Successful at Warwick in December, INDANNYA shaped much better than the bare result in a Grade 2 back there on her most recent outing 26 days ago She remains the type to do better still in this sphere and earns the vote returned to calmer waters Last-time-outwinners LadyMagic and Sevarana are also opento furtherimprovement and head up the dangers.

PLAY SMARTER

A dual chase/hurdles scorer back in the autumn, HAAS BOY is probably best not judged too harshly on his Exeter run when last seen in January and it would come as no surprise to see a better showing from this lower chase mark. The hat-trick seeking Touquet looks sure to be on the premises again, whilst Sage Green is worth noting for support on his chase bow.

Unlike most of these, BATALLION has a pretty positive proﬁle so he rates the percentage call at the foot of the weights. A 3-month break should have freshened Stans The Man up so he’s a threat, while Ignore The Door is likely to go on progressing over fences as his stamina is drawn out.
