Please note the prices are gathered the night before racing from Betfair so are only a guide – they are likely to be some way out, but should still be a useful guide for those of you who filter longer priced lays out: if the price is near your cut-off point, you should have a look at the market.

Don’t forget, we provide free daily backing tips and laying horse racing tips, for Betfair (and other betting exchange) users. Subscribe to our RSS feed (free), or daily email (also free) and get them as soon as they go online hours before racing.
