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!

SANDOWN SATURDAY PLACEPOT TIPS

LEG 1: Fiercely Proud, Cannock Park

FIERCELY PROUD held his own in Grade 2s at Kempton and Donny but looks to be crying out for this sort of big field. He tanks along and there is sure to be a good pace on here. He stays well and won’t mind some cut in the ground.

There should be a lot more to CANNOCK PARK has been knocking on the door and hit the frame in the Grade 1 Formby Hurdle at Aintree on Boxing Day. He went close at Newbury last time and can improve on his handicap debut.

LEG 2: Easy Game, Hitman

EASY GAME has won seven times at this Grade 2 level and will find this easier than the Red Rum Chase he ran in at Aintree two weeks ago. He looked very rusty there and should be all the fitter for that experience. He likes this trip and can edge Willie Mullins £45,000 closer to the title. 

Paul Nicholls would love to stop him and this looks the best chance HITMAN will get to land a nice prize. He often tanks along over three miles before running out of petrol in the closing stages so this 2m6f could be an ideal distance. He has run well here before in the Tingle Creek and the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers may help.

LEG 3: El Fabiolo

EL FABIOLO finally threw in the mistake many had been waiting for when pulled up in the Champion Chase last time. Willie Mullins reports him in fine shape after that mishap and he can confirm superiority over Jonbon here. The tip has a fantastic engine and has more improvement in him. Hopefully he’ll jump better and, if he does, he’ll be hard to stop.

LEG 4: Minella Cocooner, Kitty’s Light 

MINELLA COCOONER looks the pick of the Willie Mullins trio with Danny Mullins in the saddle. He was on board when he finished an excellent third in the Irish National earlier this month and he won’t lack for staying power. 

KITTY’S LIGHT showed how tough he is when winning this 12 months ago just a week after taking the Scottish Grand National. He ran a cracker in the big National at Aintree 14 days ago and has a fantastic record at Sandown. He still looks on a fair weight and should be right there again.

LEG 5: Impaire Et Passe, Langer Dan

IMPAIRE ET PASSE was a bit lucky to keep the Aintree Hurdle in the Stewards’ room last time after a coming together with Langer Dan that arguably cost him the race. He looked like he was idling in front at Liverpool and this longer trip on better ground could well bring improvement. He’s been lightly raced this season and should have plenty left. LANGER DAN is already 19lb higher than his Coral Cup win and went so close in that Grade 1 last time. He is a strong stayer who should be right there again at a track where he’s won before.

LEG 6: Mayhem Mya, Outlaw Peter

MAYHEM MYA has been running well around two miles but this longer trip looks ideal. He ran well in the tough Red Rum Chase at Aintree a fortnight ago and has scored around here before. 

OUTLAW PETER clocked a personal best when winning at Ayr last weekend and can go close if this isn’t coming too soon.
