Here you’ll find the latest horse racing tips from our expert racing analyst Will Smith. We provide 100% free racing tips for races taking place throughout the week as well as ante-post selections for future meetings.

Will Smith Tips

Service Minimum
1.15 Cheltenham
1/2-star EW 5 places 1/5
16/1
Paul's Dream
3.00 Cheltenham
1/2-star EW 3 places 1/5
22/1

Two Daily Value bets today for WhichBookie on the opening day of Cheltenham’s Showcase meeting, and in truth they are probably only ½-star recommendations as the racing generally at jumps HQ over the next two days is very trappy looking. There’ll be plenty of information to be gleaned from it, with the embarking jumps season in mind, but patience will be a virtue.

In the opening William Hill Each Way Extra Handicap Hurdle at 1.15 at Cheltenham, an early glance sees plenty of last season’s in-form handicappers turning up, but does that mean they’ll all (or even some) be ready, race-fit and/or suited to the nature of today’s race?

I think there could be a few red herrings in there with today’s contest in mind, and instead the general 16/1 each-way for 5 places about the Skeltons’ Service Minimum isn’t the worst bet in the world.

Some of her novice hurdle form is a fair chunk off the top end of the weights here, but she has been campaigned and ridden cleverly to beat or be competitive with the right horses in her early assignments, and with that in mind she will be better than a 113-rated animal in time.

She ran an eye-catching race in a valuable event at Worcester, where the winner got loose, and all the while she is gaining experience and improving. It might be that she is educated further today, before being found a valuable event down in grade, but her race fitness and profile will count for plenty today.

The other recommended small bet is the general 22/1 each-way about Paul’s Dream in the Oddschecker Novices’ Hurdle at 3.00 at Cheltenham, as she has been completely missed by the opening shows for this Grade 2.

There is a lot of hype around Un Sens A La Vie, and it might be that looking into the ‘without favourite’ markets could be wise here, but equally he has won two slowly run affairs against weak opposition and reappears 10 days later, having deviated slightly from the original plan.

Paul’s Dream is 22/1 due to her rating of 114 being inferior to those UK-trained horses ahead of her in the market, who have built up their experience in handicaps and as a result are generally rated 120+.

However, on the clock, if Paul’s Dream had been running in the types of races they have been, then she would have fared just as well if not better, and I love Danny Mullins in races like this where tactics and a big-race mentality count for so much.

6/4

1.15 Cheltenham – Handicap Hurdle – 2m4f

It was too far out to know for sure how FRENCH SHIP would have finished at Chepstow last time in the Silver Trophy but we do know he was in contention and he was strong in the market for that race. While this is clearly Plan B, he races off an unchanged mark and is still grossly unexposed as a hurdler. His known form over obstacles before that holds multiple efforts in the mid 120’s on RPR’s and with normal progression he should be much more capable than his current mark suggests.

FRENCH SHIP – 1 STAR EW @ 13/2 (5 places 1/5)

 

2.25 Cheltenham – Conditional Jockeys Handicap Hurdle – 2m½f

In this race last year NORMAN FLECTHER found only Impero too good and that effort came from just a 3lb lower mark. He won next time out and climbed to an Official Rating 6lbs higher than he races off now and while his jumping lacked fluency he was as good as I’ve seen him last time out in the Welsh Champion Hurdle when unusually making the pace. He’s 6lbs better off with King William Rufus for their April meeting face-off and he typically goes well as this time of year.

NORMAN FLETCHER – 1 STAR EW @ 7/1 (4 places 1/5)

 

3.00 Cheltenham – Sharp Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 2) – 2m½f

Any race that has seen the likes of Altior has to be worth following and while very few horses would be able to live up to his mantle I do think UN SENS A LA VIE is much the best of this field. I’ve been disappointed with Fortune De Mer who now sports a first time hood and while I recognise his threat I simply think UN SENS A LA VIE is a better horse.

Both his runs under rules have come at Market Rasen which is quite a way off from being a Cheltenham type track and he was beaten left-handed in his first point to point so there is tempered enthusiasm. I do still want him onside because I’ve not seen anything in his two runs to suggest this direction will be a problem although it has been considered.

UN SENS A LA VIEW – 2 STAR WIN @ 6/4

Each Way Tips

The racing analysts here at WhichBookie provide both win and each way tips.

With Extra Places available on several races each day from the UK’s top bookies, there’s often value to be had in each way betting on horse racing.

You’ll find each way tips for today listed above from Will Smith. The best each way bet for today will be listed as their ‘NAP’.

ITV Racing Tips

We don’t provide tips for every race televised on ITV but as we cover all of the major racing festivals, many of our tips apply to ITV races and our tipsters will often provide an in depth preview of each day of festivals such as Cheltenham, Royal Ascot, Good wood and Galway.

AtTheRaces Tips

At The Races (ATR) offers a range of free horse racing tips, expert analysis, and race previews for both domestic and international meetings. Their racing tips come from Hugh Taylor (daily tips), Laurent Barbarin (French Racing), Paul Quigley (US Racing) and Gary Nutting (Ante-Post Tips).

Racing Post Tips

Racing Post provides free horse racing tips for all UK and Irish meetings each day. These selections come from experienced tipsters such as Pricewise, and include NAP of the Day, Race-by-Race Tips, Lucky 15s and Accumulators.

For more in-depth analysis and high-value selections, the Racing Post offers a premium subscription service – Racing Post+. With Racing Post+ subscribers get access to Pricewise Tips which focus on identifying value bets, especially in major races and ante-post markets.

Some of their racing tips include NAP of the Day, Racing Accumulator Tips, Lucky 15 Tips, Double Tips, Early Value Tip and an Evening Best Bet when their are evening meetings taking place.

How Much Do Tips Cost?

All of our tips are 100% free. You will never be asked to pay for any of our racing tips or selections and this includes our very popular Lucky15 category. It’s a good idea to visit this page regularly to check the performance of the racing tips which we provide and decide for yourself if they’re worth following. We provide complete transparency on all of the selections and ongoing performance from our in house tipsters.

What Kind Of Tips Are Available?

Our horse racing tips will generally be either win tips or each way tips for ante-post and upcoming races. Occasionally, horse racing double tips may be available along with NAP of the day. We publish daily Lucky15 tips from UK and Irish racecourses and our tipsters have enjoyed some great success with these selections. You can check the performance via the individual tipster profile pages.

Can I Watch The Races The Tips Are For?

Yes. You’ll be able to watch all UK & Irish races via the horse racing streams available at Bet365 (T&Cs apply)

Racing Tips Notifications

Our racing tips are usually published in the morning but if you’d like to be notified when a new tip is posted, you can join our horse racing tips telegram group for free. This is recommended as the odds can fluctuate and move dramatically lower on certain selections once the value has been spotted !

Where Should I Place The Bets?

For each tip that is published, we recommend a bookmaker to place the bet with. Of course, you can use any bookmaker that is offering odds on the specified race but there is a reason why we recommend bookies for certain bets. For example, if a tip is an Each Way selection, we may recommend a bookmaker offering Extra Places on the race. We also take odds into consideration and so if there aren’t any betting offers available on the race, we simply recommend the bookie offering the greatest odds. If you don’t have an account with the bookmaker we are suggesting to place the bet with and are interested in creating an account with them, be sure to check out our free bets page to find the latest welcome offer for that particular bookie.

Do You Provide Tips For The Big Racing Festivals?

Absolutely! In fact, you’ll often find our tipster Will Smith providing ante-post tips in the months leading up to the major festivals which can have a lot of value. Will has had great success at festivals such as Cheltenham and Royal Ascot by providing both winning ante-post and daily betting tips. Check out today’s Cheltenham tips for all selections from Will Smith & David Young.

Where Can I View Past Results?

We keep a record of all of the tips suggested by Will and a record of every tip he has published can be found on his profile page which can be found here.

What Stakes Should I Use?

This depends on the size of your betting bankroll and will be different between each person. Never bet more than you are comfortable with and can afford to lose. #begambleaware
