Our Staking Plan and Latest Results

Each selection is advised as a single bet, and at a straight £10 win single per horse, unless otherwise stated. In March 2024, our racing tips were 21.22 points up, with 14 tipped winners and two placed each way selections in that time.

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 - 2:45 Goodwood - Maxident

With the going expecting to be heavy for this two-miler, you will want a thorough stayer. The leader of the market overnight Maxident has that and could be well treated. Finished just three-quarters of a length back from winner Justus on seasonal reappearance at Pontefract on heavy ground over two furlongs further than Saturday’s 2m2f. Won on debut by 50 lengths on heavy ground, albeit in a three-runner field, and should be in better shape for that first run last month so can give a really good account in this one.

Tip 2 - 3:35 Newmarket - Night Raider e/w

The Guineas has a habit of throwing up big-priced horses in the frame, and more often than not, they’re front-runners who keep going to land a prominent position. Last year, Hi Royal made the running and finished second at 125/1, and while we aren’t going that far down the betting this year, the run style is one to target. Karl Burke is extremely confident that his Night Raider can run a big race. It’s tough to find an angle to beat City Of Troy, but stealing the race from the front could be the way. This is a big step up on the two Southwell races he’s dominated from the front so far in his career, but he’s an interesting each way pick at the prices.

Tip 3 - 4:45 Newmarket - James’s Delight e/w

After not getting home over seven furlongs last time out, James’s Delight drops back to his preferred distance of six furlongs. Considering his usual-front running style, the extra furlong was always going to be a stretch for James’s Delight after a hacking up over six, so the drop back in distance looks like a smart decision. A drop back in class will also help him dominate from the front, as many won’t be able to cope with the pace he injects into the race.

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.
