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 - 2:30 Yarmouth - Calafiori

A very impressive debut year for Calafiori has seen him pick up two wins and five seconds in just 10 outings, most recently winning a 6f affair at Pontefract by three lengths – proving he can go at this distance after largely running at 5 or 5.5f previously. The two-year-old is under significant penalty but that may not be enough to stop him, and good ground shouldn’t be an issue as he won in Brighton six weeks ago on such going.

Tip 2 - 2:42 Hereford - Big Boy Barney

Three of the five runners in this field have won before and carry a penalty. The fancy is one of the winless runners - Big Boy Barney. He’s shown solid form in three hurdle runs without getting his head in front and could well have improved during his five month break. His Irish point-to-point form really stands out, beating a future Grade 3 winner in the form of Ballybow. Receiving weight from his market rivals today, he’ll take all the beating.

Tip 3 - 3:12 Hereford - Designer Destiny

An 11-year-old wouldn’t be your typical pick coming against horses as young as six, but given Designer Destiny has only competed in 21 career races. This is, oddly, only her second chase and could well be thrown in here on a lowly mark of 82. Hasn’t finished outside the top two of a Point-to-Point in last nine contests. Champion jockey Sean Bowen is an eye-catching booking that leads us to believe there is an element of confidence from connections.

Tip 4 - 3:22 Musselburgh - Minella Study

Minella Study looked a decent prospect over in Ireland, starting to look like he was really getting his act together over the summer, including getting his head in front in a hurdle race. He looks on a very interesting mark here, as this low mileage three year old clearly has improvement in him and a lot of headroom in his rating.

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.
