Future races and meetings
The Jumps season is well underway and there are many highlights still to come over the next few months.
William Hill will bring you the latest horse racing betting to keep you across the action. Here are some things to look forward to:
Ascot's Christmas Weekend
Two days of quality racing where the runners battle it out over 3m½f in the Grade 1 Long Walk Hurdle. The card on the Saturday also features the Silver Cup Handicap Chase.
Kempton's Christmas Festival
This is a Christmas cracker with plenty of star names lining up in some of the biggest races. There's the King George VI Chase on Boxing Day, as well as the Christmas Hurdle.
Leopardstown Christmas Festival
Just like the racing at Kempton, this is another treat to savour over four days. There are plenty of Grade 1 contests, like the Christmas Hurdle and the Racing Post Novice Chase. The final day also has the Savills Chase and Matheson Hurdle.
Welsh Grand National
After Boxing Day, attention turns to Chepstow for the Welsh Grand National. It's over a marathon 3m6½f trip with 23 fences jumped. Who'll be first past the post?
It’ll be an action-packed programme on New Year's Day before we gear up for Festival Trials Day at Cheltenham. It's held at the end of January and sparks festival fever with plenty of betting clues on offer.
And the following weekend sees Ireland's finest test their Cheltenham credentials at the Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown.
All of which leads nicely into four days of the very best National Hunt racing from the Cheltenham Festival in March. With a championship race each day, who'll take the ultimate glory?
In the build-up to these meetings, we'll have ante-post betting markets and the latest horse racing odds. Plus, look out for offers, such as Enhanced Odds, your Epic Boost and much more.
Early Horse Racing Prices
Check out the latest early prices for the day’s racing here at William Hill. Our early odds horse racing options give you the chance to jump into the markets early in the morning, before they shift and settle down as backers make their selections.
From Cheltenham to Newmarket, Newbury and Fairyhouse, you can find the William Hill early horse racing prices on all UK and Irish meetings. Regardless of whether it is flat or national hunt season, early prices give you the chance to scope out the first prices on the board on the morning of a race.
Early Odds Horse Racing
Those early prices in horse racing betting are typically available at longer quotes than a runner will go off at. So checking out the early odds horse racing markets can hold an advantage over later picks. Early horse racing prices can be included in any type of bet, from straight win singles to accumulators, doubles, trebles and Lucky 15s.
Each way horse betting options are also available with early prices, which are different from ante-post picks. An ante-post selection is one from a future race that could be a week or more away. Find a great selection of ante-post racing odds too here at William Hill, for all the major highlights such as the Aintree Grand National, The Cheltenham Festival and Royal Ascot.
The early horse racing prices are just a small part of the extensive horse racing coverage at William Hill. You can catch live racing streams through Betting TV Live, find great form and racing insights, plus daily enhanced odds selections and other racing promotions

Horse betting markets at William Hill
You can choose from a range of betting markets on every race with William Hill. Take your pick from:
- - Race winner – simply back a horse odds to win
- - Match bets – bet on one horse to finish in front of another
- - Place markets – pick a horse to finish within a certain number of places (e.g., to finish first three)
- - Betting without – take the favourite out of the equation (e.g., if your horse finishes second to the fav, your bet lands)
Horse racing odds and betting guidance
When betting on horse racing, there are a few types of bets to choose from. The standard options are:
- - Win – simply backing a horse odds to win the race
- - Each-way – got your eye on an outsider? Then backing it each-way means if it gets beaten in a head-bobber, you'll still get a return. This combines two bets – one on the horse to win and another on it to place

Understanding each-way betting
At William Hill, we offer Extra Places on selected races every day, while you can place each-way bets on your pick at any time by ticking the box in the betslip.
It's crucial to understand the place terms when you place an each-way bet, so here are the number of places paid depending on the numbers of runners in the race:
- - Less than five runners = win-only market
- - Five to seven runners = two places
- - Eight to 15 runners = three places
- - Handicaps of 16 or more runners = four places
Look out for our races with Extra Places as part of stable of great horse racing offers at William Hill.
Understanding horse racing terms
Like many sports, horse betting has its own unique jargon. Here are some key terms:
- - SP – refers to the starting price of each runner. You can back a horse at the odds available, or you can place a bet on its start price, which can go up and down
- - NAP – this is a tipster's strongest bet on the card or of the day. Check out the William Hill Naps Table for expert daily picks
- - NB – this simply stands for next bet. This is generally the second choice after a NAP
