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 - 2:05 Lingfield - Enough Already

A very weak looking handicap to open the card at Lingfield can be taken by Enough Already. His opponents here are either coming off a long break or not really showing any level of form. Looked like he relished the step up in trip to 1m4 last time out, and now there are no stamina concerns about a longer trip, can be given a positive winning ride by Kaiya Fraser who takes off a handy 3lb.

Tip 2 - 3:17 Redcar - Exceed

Exceed had a consistent three-year-old campaign, three times finishing second before ending the campaign with a victory at Thirsk. Finished fourth in a better race than this over course and distance but was under two lengths from the victor who is now rated 12 pounds higher than today’s choice. Reappearance after 323 days last week yielded a good second at Yarmouth, so he could be in good shape to go one better today.

Tip 3 - 4:50 Punchestown - Birchdale

There was once a time when backing an Enda Bolger horse in a cross country race was a licence to print money. It’s been a while since he’s had a superstar in this discipline, but based on the Risk Of Thunder chase at Punchestown in November, Birchdale may fit the bill. The step up to 4m1f is a bit of an unknown, but his main rivals in the betting have questions to answer. Coko Beach is less than three weeks removed from a gruelling run in the Aintree Grand National, while Stumptown has to prove his effectiveness in cross country races. With most of the rest of the field looking plain not good enough, Birchdale is the percentage play.

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.
