Another fantastic afternoon of British and Irish horse racing on the card this Saturday as the schedule aims to match the level we’ve seen over the last fortnight, with the Grand National and Scottish National giving followers a real treat. Here are our top Saturday 20 April horse racing betting tips.

We have the Irish National meeting to look forward to in the coming days, but before getting into that, our team pick through the best of Saturday, with racing scheduled at some top tracks, including Haydock, Kempton, Mussleburgh and Cork.

Stick with the horse racing section of our site where you’ll find a look at the antepost betting for some of the Easter weekend’s biggest races, including prices and advice on which firms are offering best price.  Let’s aim to get started with a Saturday winner or two to boost your betting balance for an assault on next week’s Irish National meeting at Fairyhouse.

Easter Handicap – 1.55pm Cork

A one-mile handicap with a chunky prize pot available, we’re expecting a large field for this one and the antepost betting suggests it’ll be a competitive renewal, with no more than three points separating the first eight in the betting. That is tight indeed.

Traders at bet365 are giving nothing away in the early stages and have priced Luke Volta as their 5/1 favourite, ahead of Parys Mountain and Porth Swtan at 6/1. Each-way backers will get 1/4 the odds a place 1-2-3 and that allows us to be a bit more ambitious and take a shot at one carrying bigger odds. When betting each-way you’re looking for a pick good enough to force a place, but with a chance at pulling off an upset and winning the race.

A Generous Price

The runner to carry our stake in the Easter Handicap at Cork will be Hayadh who can be backed at a generous 8/1 (Bet365), a price that looks too big for a horse of this class. The Rebecca Bastiman trained six-year-old gelding has 20 previous runs under his belt, winning four and placing on another four occasions. That’s not immediately impressive, but he was third at Musselburgh earlier this month in a decent race and has finished in the top-three in three of his last five goes. That includes a win around the Scottish track late last year in a 7f handicap when sent off as favourite.

Our Tip: Hayadh to win – 8/1 at Bet365
