If you have an account with Bet365 they do a good bet called Jollies &Nags. They give you the choice to bet on the Jollies, 2 sometimes 3 in the race, or the Nags, the rest. In the 7.15 at Bath as an example your 2 horses are given as the Jollies Bet at 8/11 or you can bet on the rest at Evens.
I like this Bet as if you do bet on the Jollies you will on your full stake at 8/11 no matter which one wins, I.e bet of £11 pick up £19 if either one wins. Similar in practice to splitting the bet as you have done but you are no bothered which one wins. Whenever I split the bet you can be sure the one that will win less is the one that comes in.
I also like to bet on the Nags when I think that the Jollies are vulnerable for whatever reason.
