How our racing tips are picked
For every race listed on today's UK and Irish cards, we offer a single selection. Every pick is drawn from our own ratings model. That model weighs recent performance and speed figures, plus the official rating and form across the last four runs. Wins over course and distance count too, as does the form shown by the trainer's horses in the past 14 days. Under each horse, the reason lists its two strongest factors.
The pick with the clearest edge over its rivals is the NAP, and the runner-up on that measure is next best. Our each-way pick stands as the best place chance at odds of 4/1 or higher, provided at least eight runners are in the field. Each of the four picks we rate most strongly covers a different race, and together they make up the Lucky 15.
We check cards every 15 minutes from 07:00 right through to the last race. If a selection turns out to be a non-runner, we cross it out and put up a replacement before the off. Tips for tomorrow go live at 18:00. Every time shown is UK time, meaning GMT in winter and BST in summer.
We take racecards, non-runners and results from The Racing API. Every tip is settled at the starting price for a one-point stake, whether it wins or loses. Our results page has the full record for you to check.
