Learn a bit more about the races individually. So, for example, you can have low grade handicaps and high grade handicaps and you can have competitive handicaps and uncompetitive handicaps where the favourite is racing of a low mark.

From a broad basis any classification is better than none and too much is no good. But you can make some broad assumptions with some basic assessment of the race.

Two substantial drifts in the last two races.

Looked like £10-15k + Back Bet came in on Forest of Dean in the last 30 seconds of that market......I thought it was a good lay bet for some reason and done £44.

think I’ve been looking in the wrong places today, having a complete mare so far

It's not an easy day. Tiny fields are very tricky.

Made even harder when you get the front three all hoovering around the same price
