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 - 2:25 Newbury - Glamorous Breeze

A pair of Class 4 victories earlier this year prompted Glamorous Breeze to be vaulted up to Class 2 affairs but she drops down a grade today. Both of those Class 2 runs ended in a fifth-place finish but she was only a length behind the winner in one of them, so moving down to Class 3 and gaining an extra 1lb from the handicapper should allow her to compete again here.

Tip 2 - 3:00 Newbury - Lou Lou’s Gift

Lou Lou’s Gift should find this a lot easier than her two assignments so far this season. A listed race at Chelmsford and a Group 3 at Ascot were beyond her, but this step back into handicap company should suit. She signed off last season with an easy win at Newmarket before going close in a higher grade handicap back at that same track, so there’s definitely lots of ability there. Back in calmer waters, she’s fancied to run a big race.

Tip 3 - 3:35 Newbury - Witness Stand

Collective Power has had a torrid time on turf since winning over course and distance here back in April, proving that he generally fares much better on all-weather. His victory here four months ago was his third career C&D win, and he’s also picked up seven such seconds. A mark of 79 should be nothing to worry about as his most recent win came at 3lbs higher.

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.
