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 - 1:30 Haydock - Flightofthephoenix

On a hat trick after finally breaking her duck last month and then following that up with a comfortable win in vastly different conditions, Flightofthephoenix looks to finally have found her stride. The second of those wins came over today’s distance and it looks like that’s her preference. Today is another big challenge as she will be running under a 5lb penalty but James Hills claims that back.

Tip 2 - 2:17 Newcastle - Mwafaq

At first glance, Mwafaq’s most recent run when fifth over this trip at Lingfield, will need improving on if he’s to win this. His chance was all but gone at the start that day, with his blindfold coming off late and him eventually starting way behind the rest of the field. In the circumstances, he ran a cracker to get to within a couple of lengths of the winner. Off an unchanged mark, compensation in the form of a fourth win this year may await today.

Tip 3 - 3:03 Salisbury - Rose Moon

Rose Moon looks like a very well bred newcomer and if he runs to his potential only really has one to fear in this race. However Hereward was tried over shorter first time out so there has to be some concern he can’t get the trip. Ralph Beckett has sent out a number of two year old winners this season and it wouldn’t be a surprise if Rose Moon adds to that number.

Tip 4 - 3:17 Haydock - One Shot Kodi

Not shown a great deal in three career races to this point but after looking down an out in the final furlong last time out thundered home to finish within half a length of second. Both dam and sire won on soft ground, so her breeding would suggest she’ll relish today’s underfoot conditions. Stepping back considerably from a Class 3 to a Class 5 today on handicap debut. An opening mark of 66 is fair but could be shown to be low if taking to her task a little earlier this time 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.
