The Placepot is a bet where you select a horse to be placed in the FIRST SIX races of any meeting.
You can pick more than one horse in a race – you just multiply the number of selections in each race to calculate your stake. So for staking it’s 2x1x2x1x2x2 which adds up to 16 lines.
You can stake what you want upwards from 5p a line. 10p a line is £1.60 with our picks and so on.
Provided at least one in each race is placed, we get a payout!

LEG 4: Ancient Wisdom
ANCIENT WISDOM ended last season by winning the Group 1 Futurity Stakes at Doncaster in October. He went from the front under William Buick and looked beaten when headed only to rally and end up winning comfortably. That bodes well for this step up in distance and this son of Dubawi can put himself in the Derby picture by taking this.
LEG 5: Big Evs
BIG EVS was one of the stories of last season as he won at the Breeders’ Cup for local hero Mick Appleby. He kicked off by blitzing his rivals from the front to win the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot before taking the Molecomb at Glorious Goodwood. He found the Nunthorpe against older horses here too much before getting back on track in the Flying Childers at Donny. He blasts off and makes all and, provided his juvenile career didn’t take too much out of him, it’s hard to see him being beaten here.
LEG 6: Andesite, Seattle
ANDESITE looks perfect for this test with plenty of speed in his pedigree. His sire Pinatubo was a superstar juvenile and his dam won a sprint as a two-year-old too. Trainer Karl Burke does well at the track and he has another live chance.
