Free Tips From Timeform

Timeform’s form analysis goes deep into data, and however you choose to bet, we’re here to leave you best placed to pick winners. Hopefully, this guide will give you an insight into how best to use our free daily tips.

Flagged Up

Timeform have eight premium ‘Flags’ which quickly and simply identify a horse of interest with the help of handy graphics and symbols.

Flags are an evolution of Timeform's long-standing practices. Collectively they represent a unique set of modern and useful innovations to give you even more of an edge.

If you’re a Race Passes subscriber or Timeform Race Card user, you’ll enjoy access to all of the Flags for every runner in every race, but even if you’re not a subscriber, you can get a great steer with our Flagged Up articles.

Every morning, Timeform’s team of experts analyse the day’s racecards, pinpointing those horses with a Flag who are the most interesting. They then whittle down those punting prospects to pick one bet for you – the best of the day – and give a full reasoning behind each recommendation.

Stat Selector

Every day, after racing, our super-computer crunches the numbers in the Timeform database and highlights the most significant trends and statistics pertaining to the following day's runners to help your betting. These stats can be found at the bottom of each race on a Timeform racecard.

Only after the most stringent criteria have already been applied can a list finally come under the scrutiny of Timeform expert tipsters. Every morning the team select the best winning pointers from the Smart Stats output. They will then elaborate on their trio of stats in the Stat Selector article, providing you with three recommendations for the day’s racing.

Filter

With so many races and betting opportunities every day it can be a challenge to find enough time to study form in detail yourself.

The My Timeform Filter has 20 individual sections which can be toggled on or off to identify the best bets on a day of racing. Our team of experts add their knowledge of particular racecourses or meetings to select the most important criteria and whittle the list of bets down for you.

Our daily My Timeform Filter feature identifies two of the most compelling horse racing bets for the afternoon or evening’s racing, but if you are keen to stick to your own criteria, you can use the tool to identify a selection of your own, based on the qualities you are looking for in a horse.

Previews

As well as daily tipping articles, Timeform also provide long-form race previews for the racing calendar’s most prestigious events. Whether it's the Cheltenham Festival, the Grand National, Royal Ascot or the big races on a Saturday, Timeform's top stable of writers have it covered with expert tips and analysis.

These can be found in the “Features” section of the website, under “Previews”. They provide much more depth and analysis than a run-of-the-mill tipping piece and investigate all angles, providing you Timeform’s best bet in the race.

Tip Sheet

The Tip Sheet gives you the Timeform Analyst Verdict betting tips for every race at every fixture in the UK & Ireland.

Every horse in every race at every meeting is carefully analysed by Timeform’s expert team. They take into account a plethora of information and provide a short comment about each horse. Each horse’s chances of winning the race are also rated in starts, ranging from one to five.

Timeform then pick out their 1-2-3 in the race and provide a brief verdict for the race, which you can view either vie the tip sheet, or at the bottom of each race.

My Timeform

My Timeform is a weekly article in which Timeform’s team of experts identify three horses from the past week of racing to look out for in the future.

More often than not, these will not be horses that have won, but horses that may have run well but slipped somewhat under the radar.

The article will give you a bit of background on the horse before going into detail about it’s most recent run, explaining why it should be regarded as a horse of interest.

International

Aside from the vast amounts of free tips provided in the UK and Ireland, Timeform also provides free tips on international racing.

Drawing upon the huge array of data available and the vast experience of Timeform’s editorial team, we’ve extended our reach to cover Dubai, Australia and New Zealand, the USA and Canada, as well as South Africa, providing our three best bets from each country, every day.
