Our Staking Plan

Each selection is advised as a single bet, and at a straight £10 win single per horse, unless otherwise stated.

Do be aware that betting on horse racing is difficult to win consistently, that’s why we only use the best analysts and tipsters in the UK and Ireland to give their advice on this page. Previous performance is no guarantee of future success and you should only bet with what you can afford to lose.

Tip 1 - 1:58 Nottingham - Personal Best

This should be a bit of a stamina test with the ground current good to soft, soft in places, and Personal best is a previous winner over 1m6f on soft ground so should have no issues with that. Was a decent enough fourth last time out in a better race than this one and is down a pound for the effort. Getting a three-year-old allowance against last year’s winner of this, Pique’, could be just enough to finish with her nose in front.

Tip 2 - 2:15 Sedgefield - Jolie Coeur Allen

Jolie Coeur Allen looked a useful type in Ireland but could just never manage to find a spot to land a race win. Having previously been tried in stronger races this could be the day she gets her head in front, as Jamada is going to need to be every bit as good as advertised to give the weight away.

Tip 3 - 2:22 Navan - Ballintogher

Ballintogher showed some decent form in maidens for Kieran Cotter before making the switch to the Daniel Murphy yard. There’s plenty of winning and placed form from the horses that finished around him in those efforts to suggest that the form he’s shown has real substance. He has fitness to prove, so there is that question mark, but there’s been some early money for him, so he may be ready to go after seven months off.

Tip 4 - 3:35 Ludlow - Almazhar Garde

The experienced Almazhar Garde has enjoyed somewhat of a resurgence over the last 18 months and particularly this year, winning three times in five starts. The first of those three victories was over course and distance in April, and although his rating is up to the highest it’s been for almost two years, the ease with which he’s won his last two races gives confidence that it won’t hamper him.

What is the Staking Plan and How Does a 1pt Win System Work?

We advise each bet as a win single or sometimes as an each way single. You can of course choose to combine the selections in a multiple bet, a Lucky 15 or a Yankee etc and that is a very popular way to follow the horses selected in this column daily.

A 1pt win per horse is advised in general and that means whatever your normal stake is for a bet is used as a point. For many this is £1 and for some this is £10 or more but it is totally relative to the individual and shouldn’t be more than you can afford to lose at any time. 

For each way selections we advise a 0.5pt each way stake. So as with the win selections this would be a £1 total bet (50 pence each way) or a £10 total bet (£5 each way).

Where Can I Watch the Daily Horse Racing Selections Run?

The best place is always on the racecourse but that’s not very practical so when it’s not on terrestrial TV with the likes of Sky Sports Racing and ITV (or ITV 4) then the best way to get instant access to live pictures is with a live streaming bookmaker – try these three below for the best of the bunch. We've also got a page specifically dedicated to Cheltenham Festival live streaming.
