What is your top football bet this weekend? ...and give us a weekend football yankee? What is your Champions League double? What is your top bet in other events? And your special offer for this week? Menorah (Sandown 2.25) – looking to win this race for fourth successive year and retain his unbeaten Sandown jumps record. Henllan Harri (Sandown 3.35) – gets weight from all his rivals and could improve for first crack at marathon trip. Tottenham v Arsenal to draw and both teams to score for the fourth successive league meeting at 7-2. Crystal Palace, Brighton, Derby and Charlton. Expect two low-scoring affairs so both games to have under 2.5 goals. Catalans to beat Wakefield at 6-5 in the Betfred Super League tomorrow. Anthony Joshua to win between rounds 1-6 is being enhanced to 5-2 (available from 9.30am). Southampton, West Brom, Brighton and Leeds.
DOING FINE is our 4-1 jolly for today’s 13-runner showpiece at Sandown (3.35).
Neil Mulholland’s charge competes off the same rating that saw him win easily at Cheltenham last time.
Doing Fine represents last year’s winning stable, which also has The Druids Nephew in the race.
The Druids Nephew wears a visor for the first time and is extremely well handicapped on his old form – it also has to be noteworthy that Noel Fehily has opted to ride the evergreen 10-year-old.
The Trainers’ Championship is seemingly not quite over and Messrs Nicholls and Henderson will be going head to head all day.
They saddle two each in the day’s feature.
Previous winner Just A Par has been in good form and should go well if over his Grand National exertions, while Sugar Baron arrives quite fresh having fallen at the first fence in the Scottish equivalent last week. Both horses currently trade at 7-1.
Vyta Du Roc, at 8-1, hasn’t raced since February but has come down to a very winnable mark and looks very good value under Daryl Jacob.
Elsewhere on a fantastic Navarone ran well last time out and looks to hold a big chance in the 4.40 at Leicester in what is a competitive handicap. George Bowen sneaks in at the bottom of the weights and should go well in the 3.20 at Ripon. Fulham are finishing the season very strongly and can beat Brentford to book a play-off spot. It looks like two tremendous games and I fancy Real Madrid and Monaco to take an advantage into the second legs. Wakefield can beat Catalans in what looks a really tight affair. Sky Bet are paying four places in the 3.35 at Sandown. Frankie Dettori takes over on El Vip and this lightly raced four-year-old can score in the 2.05 at Haydock. I am convinced Brother Tedd is better than he showed at Ascot – at 12-1 he looks a fair each-way price in the 4.45 at Sandown. Spurs are a much better team than Arsenal and 5-6 is a fair price. Monaco look overpriced at 21-10 at home to Juventus, while Real should do the business at 5-6. Tonight’s big fight to not last longer than 4.5 rounds at 10-3. From 6pm we will be top price on all round betting for all bouts on the Joshua v Klitschko card – come on AJ! Brett Williams on the weekend racing card, Altior is long odds-on to win the Celebration Chase at 3.00.
It should be a formality but San Benedeto is an improving individual who won a Grade One last time. Also, Special Tiara’s presence means this is not a one-horse race.
Menorah bids to win the Oaksey Chase (2.25) for the fourth consecutive time and has been subject to a few lumpy bets in a contest that lacks any real strength.
The Select Hurdle (4.10) looks a Nicholls/Henderson benefit show, with the duo saddling all but one of the field between them.
The highest-rated horse is The New One and a repeat of his game effort in the Stan James Champion Hurdle would see him good enough to win. However, Rather Be is on the up, looked good at Aintree last time and is two from two under Jerry McGrath.
It’s the last day of the Punchestown Festival. Apple’s Jade is a warm order to claim the Mares’ Champion Hurdle (3.50) but Karalee at 7-2 with Ruby Walsh on board has been well backed. I rode work against Bristol Missile on Tuesday and he’s expected to improve for his debut so should win the 3.15 at Haydock. Vyta Du Roc in the 3.35 at Sandown. He is a fresh horse which counts for plenty at this time of the season. West Ham and Stoke City have both endured pretty poor seasons but go 9-4 Stoke to be in front at half-time and full-time. Stoke City, Tottenham, Leicester City and MK Dons. Home teams Real Madrid and Monaco to win their respective semi-final games. I don’t think Anthony Joshua will have it all his own way, so 7-2 for Joshua to win on points looks a worthwhile investment. From 10am Stan James will be top price all runners in the 3.35 at Sandown and paying ¼ of the odds e-w all races live on ITV4.
