Our Horse Racing Tips 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.

Horse Racing Betting Tips

Tip 1 - 11:00 Yarmouth - Lady Rosalind

Not many with much experience here, and a chance is taken on Willima Haggas’ debutant, Lady Rosalind. Out of a Group-winning sire and Listed-placed dam, who both won on debut. A sister to three-year-old Soul Love who also won on debut and has since won a Listed race. She is bred to be quite a bit better than this competition but questions will surround whether she’s right to go on debut. At the prices, we’re willing to gamble.

Tip 2 - 11:15 Doncaster - Winged Messenger

Disregarding a pretty dreadful run last time out, Winged Messenger has been extremely consistent over the last year with three wins and three seconds in his last nine outings, including victory in the Ayr Bronze Cup in September. His previous handicap mark may have been prohibitive but he’s down a couple of pounds to a more manageable rating, plus Tom Kiely-Marshall claims an all-important 5lbs.

Tip 3 - 11:30 Yarmouth - Gorgeous Mr George

Gorgeous Mr George knows Yarmouth like the back of his hoof. Of his 22 career runs, 11 of them have been here. Those 11 runs have resulted in four wins and three runner-up finishes. He was mightily impression last week here, romping to a commanding victory under Taryn Langley. The win was so impressive, he was routinely tested. Clearly thriving and at his favourite haunt, he has a huge chance of following up under a penalty.

Tip 4 - 12:15 Doncaster - Phaedra

Despite a couple of decent runs since March, Phaedra has mostly been out of form. She's tried a variety of trips and stuck mostly to all-weather tracks, resulting in her slipping to an attractive-looking mark. Her three career wins have all come in turf handicaps, so these look to be her optimum conditions. She has plenty to prove at present but may have the prefect set-up to prove it.

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.
