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 - 1:50 Musselburgh - Falcon Nine

The top two in the betting have both come off impressive wins but neither have a track record for backing that up. Ocean Odyssey’s two wins have come on the all-weather, so he has a bit to prove on the turf. Falcon Nine, on the other hand, won at the 26th time of asking by nearly five lengths four days ago. Mohammed Tabti takes off five pounds and shows a level stakes profit of £13.88 in the last five years when riding four-year-olds and older on the turf. Iain Jardine’s runner can extend that record.

Tip 2 - 2:00 Brighton - Newyorkstateofmind

Now almost a year without a win, Newyorkstateofmind has an excellent chance to correct that today after going extremely close over the last few weeks with form of 34332 – finishing within a length of the winner in each of those races except one. The eight-year-old returns to turf today and goes off at the same mark as his last two runs so is well aware of the assignment by now.

Tip 3 - 2:10 Thirsk - Filey Beach

Filey Beach looked a different proposition after dropping to six furlongs for the first time on his previous run, so it is no surprise he is having another go over that trip today. Dropped 1lb for that run despite getting involved late on, he could be lurking on a dangerous mark now he has found his correct distance.

Tip 4 - 2:30 Brighton - Rose Of Spain

Rose Of Spain has clearly been showing ability at home, having gone off at odds of 4/11 on debut. She remains winless after two runs but finished second on both starts, suggesting that she’s well up to taking a race like this. Richard Hughes’ horses have been running well without winning recently, with no winners in the last week, but 11 of 14 runners hitting the frame. We fancy his 2yo filly to turn his luck around.

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.
