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 - 12:40 Windsor - Swindon Village

Everything looks to be in place for Swindon Village to have a career at the top level. An expensive purchase following a win at a point to point, related to a Grand National winner and made a promising start to his life over jumps with a smooth success last time out. There could be a lot more to come from this lightly raced six-year-old.

Tip 2 - 1:15 Windsor - Gamesters Guy

The lightly-raced Gamesters Guy has built up a solid CV over the last couple of years, winning four of his nine career races and won his first chase on just his second attempt last month. Whilst that was only a two-horse race, the other horse was 1/3 favourite and Gamesters Guy proved he can stay the distance and has previous over 3m when coming second in a handicap hurdle last year.

Tip 3 - 2:05 Market Rasen - Mahons Glory

The best form of this field by some distance comes from Minella Drama, who has won Listed and Graded races in the past. However, he is too inconsistent to trust, so we go for Mahons Glory. Last seen finishing a good fifth in a Grade 3 at Aintree in December and now back in the calmer waters of a Class 2 on the same mark as the last time he won in March last year, conditions could be perfect.

Tip 4 - 3:00 Windsor - Nemean Lion

Nemean Lion finished less than two lengths behind Champion Hurdler Golden Ace and just a neck behind Anzadam, who’s fancied by many to go close at the Cheltenham Festival this year. That form probably shouldn’t be taken at face value, but he is a reliable sort who thrives in small fields like this. Aiming for back-to-back wins in the race, he’ll take all the beating.

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.
