Templegate's Tote World Pool tip as giant betting bonanza returns for Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown

THE World Pool is back in action on Saturday in what is a really high-class card at Leopardstown.

The international tote is proving a big hit with punters who have been regularly beating SP for their winners.

Developed and run by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, punters from 28 racing nations are now able to bet into one big pool.

At Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood, World Pool regularly beat the bookies for singles and its more ‘exotic’ bets.

You can have a straight Win or Place, a Quinella, Swinger, Exacta, Trifecta and Treble where you pick the winner in three selected races.

Head over to the Tote to get involved and claim your £20 in free bets*.

My personal favourite is a Swinger where we are trying to pick two of the first three past the post in any order.

You can have a combination Swinger which includes more than two horses.

If you have three running for you it costs £3 and four horses is £6 but you can go bigger if you fancy it.

If any two of your picks finish in the first three home, you get a payout.

Let’s get stuck into the Irish Champion Stakes itself (3.20).

It’s wide open but we’ll just have two runners in our Swinger in this classy contest.

NASHWA is a proven Group 1 performer over this distance and has gone mighty close in two hot races before heading to Ireland.

Let’s have faith in Hollie Doyle steering this daughter of Frankel into the first three.

Pair her up with KING OF STEEL who has shown his best form over this trip and ran well at Ascot again last time.

An Exacta is the same as a forecast so your two runners must be first and second past the post.

We’ll back favourite TAHIYRA to shine in the 2.45 and is our winning pick.

Who is going to finish second is the question?

A Dermot Weld one-two looks on the cards with his No2 hope HOMELESS SONGS coming here a fresh horse with the booking of Oisin Murphy catching the eye.
