This Saturday Betfair are offering you the chance to start a free bet streak by placing a £10 bet on any sport on the Betfair Exchange.

Even if that first bet loses, you will be credited with a £10 free bet to begin your streak. For every winning £10 bet you have for the next seven days on the Befair Exchange, we will credit you with another tenner to keep that streak going.

We have collated some of the best tips from our horse racing tipsters to inspire you to get your streak underway by placing your first qualifying bet this Saturday, but before we get into those, let us take you through how to get involved.

How does Betfair's Free Bet Streak offer work?

1. Opt-in on the Betfair Exchange promo page or bet banners on the Exchange homepage
2. Place a £10 bet on any sport on the Exchange on Saturday 11 January. Your first cash bet will qualify for the offer.
3. When your qualifying bet settles (as a winner or loser), you will be credited with a £10 free bet on the Exchange within 24 hours.
4. Your Free Bet Streak begins with your first £10 free bet, to use on any Exchange market (minimum odds apply). The way to keep the streak going is to keep on winning.
5. If your free bet wins, you will earn another £10 free bet, alongside your winning returns. If you lose, your streak is over.
6. You will continue to receive another free bet every time your free bet settles as a winner for a maximum of 7 days after the initial free bet has been awarded.

13:15 Ffos Las - Alan Dudman says: Back Saint Davy

Saint Davy (Fr)

• J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.
• T: Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill
• F:

Saint Davy was a beaten third in the Betfair Esher Novices' at Sandown behind Handstands, but it says something that Jonjo O'Neill was happy to put him into a Grade 2 on his chase debut and for an inexperienced horse, he didn't perform too badly four lengths behind.

Pauling has described Handstands as "not a slow horse", and Pauling's chaser's pace was clear as day compared to Saint Davy who got caught flat-footed going into the straight and messed up fences three and two from home.

He still has the look of a raw chaser but stayed on, and that looked in keeping with his hurdles' profile as two wins over the smaller obstacles came over 3m on soft and good to soft.

At the prices we are playing with the improvement here, as Handstands can of course improve again, but Saint Davy will suit a stiffer test and soft conditions with a rating just as good as his chief market rival over hurdles.

I will be the first to admit I find it difficult to find winners from the O'Neill yard, but it's hard to knock this season's numbers with 53 on the board and a recent 40% strike-rate from the last two weeks with six from 15.

14:00 Newcastle - Mark Milligan says: Back Sol Cayo

1 (4)

Sol Cayo (Ire)

• J: S. B. Kirrane
• T: Fionn McSharry
• F:

We've also got all-weather coverage from Chelmsford and Newcastle on ITV, and it's to Gosforth Park we head for the third and final selection.

With a couple of forward going types in the field, this 1m 2f handicap should be run at a solid gallop and hopefully that will set things up for Sol Cayo to follow up a recent C&D success.

Fionn McSharry's gelding was a winner off 82 when trained by James Horton as a juvenile and took advantage of a mark that had dropped to 75 when landing his first win since then for his current stable last time.

He's back up to 82 for this contest but has already proven he's capable of scoring from that type of perch, and with Lerwick and Midnight Lion likely to be knocking heads up front, he can be produced late by Sean Kirrane to land the spoils.

I thought Lerwick was quite interesting given he shaped well making the running into a strong headwind when fourth last time, but this trip is right at the upper limit of his stamina and he may find his reserves running dry late on.

"I'll be keeping an eye out for him back at a mile if he runs well here."

14:58 Ffos Las - Daryl Carter says: Back Rosscahill

Rosscahill (Ire)

• J: Sam Twiston-Davies
• T: Nigel Twiston-Davies
• F:

It would be surprising if Rosscahill could not defy the handicapper's opening assessment of 120 under optimal conditions now moved up to a more suitable distance for this handicap debut.

Nigel Twiston-Davies' runner has made a perfect start over hurdles, winning both of his starts here at Ffos Las. Despite the latest drop in trip proving against him, he battled on strongly and won going away. The move up to 3m for the first time is a strong avenue for improvement on his pedigree, and this three-mile point-to-point winner will undoubtedly end the season rated higher.

He is proven under what will likely be testing conditions today, and his unexposed profile in this race against mainly exposed runners is highly appealing.

The six-year-old faces his toughest test yet, but he slammed a 115-rated Rebecca Curtis runner on his debut over 2m6f here, and his easy five-length point-to-point victory has worked out very well. The third is rated 123 with Gordon Elliott, and the fourth, Good N Kind, was a point winner next time by 28 lengths, and he was second to the smart Port Joulain in a bumper at Gowran Park.

The selection is proven under today's conditions at this venue and looks well treated for this move to a trip that will see further improvement. He ticks plenty of boxes for a double-staked play.

The opening 2/13.00 looks a little defensive and with this field a competitive one it's wise to hold off for BSP looking for around 5/23.50.
