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.

VICTORY SHOUT landed a gamble when getting the better of Walk In The West at Taunton last week and Syd Hosie’s 5-y-o is fancied to confirm his superiority with that rival faced with similar conditions. Prince Rhinegold was offthe bridle before most but stuck to his task valiantly when runner-up here last month and he’s fancied to be in the shake-up again.

BEAU SPEED showed plenty when second at Fakenham on his debut in February and can put that experience to good use. Posh Chick was pulled up on her most recent outing in points but has joined a yard which has a good record in the bumper sphere, while the booking of Ben Jones takes the eye on Lord Churchill.
