What is your top football bet this weekend? ...and give us a weekend football yankee? What’s your best bet in the internatio­nal rugby union? What is your top bet in other events? And your special offer for this week? Big River (Haydock 1.15) excels in heavy ground as two wide-margin wins in such conditions testify. Le Rocher (Haydock 2.25) is a Grade One winner on heavy ground. Middlesbro­ugh have won nine out of the last 10 at home to Derby. Take evens for them to make it 10. Barnsley, Middlesbro­ugh, Cardiff and Notts County to win. Scotland on the five-point handicap at evens against Australia. The 7-4 outright also worth an interest bet. Philadelph­ia Eagles are in impressive NFL form and can cover the 13.5-point start against Chicago. Liverpool, Man United and Tottenham all to win is 5-2 from 2-1 (available from 9.30am). Minella Awards at 7-1 to win the 2.25 at Haydock. Flying Angel at 8-1 in the 2.05 at Ascot. Bournemout­h (17-10) to win at Swansea. Arsenal, Sheff United, Mansfield and Luton. Australia to beat Scotland at -6 points (10-11). Susan Calman (evens) to be the next eliminatio­n in Strictly Come Dancing. Wilsonbet has a 10 per cent handicap yankee bonus on the rugby union internatio­nals.

BRISTOL DE MAI is 11-8 favourite with Unibet to claim the Betfair Chase today at Haydock (3.00).

And supporters of the twotime course winner can be confident of a big run, with the heavy conditions suited to this staying mudlark who is a 25-1 shot for the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March.

Cue Card bids to emulate the great Kauto Star in winning this contest for the fourth time and Colin Tizzard’s charge is 2-1 to make up for a fall in the Charlie Hall last time when in contention.

It’s hard to knock this horse’s form and he rates a serious threat, although two falls in three runs is slightly off-putting. Outlander has the most support, however, and is into 5-1 from 6s with punters hoping for the luck of the Irish for the Gordon Elliott three-time Grade One winner.

The Worlds End looks a worthy 5-1 jolly for the Stayers’ Handicap Hurdle at 2.25 and after bagging his first Grade One at Aintree in April, Tom George’s runner could rank highly in the staying division this season.

He’s already 12-1 to claim the main event at the Festival which will certainly shorten Cue Card can land a fourth Betfair Chase under new pilot Harry Cobden at Haydock (3.00). Courtown Oscar is a progressiv­e northern stayer (Haydock 12.40). Crystal Palace to beat Stoke. Palace, Southampto­n, Spurs and Bournemout­h. Wales getting a 19-point lead in the handicap against the All Blacks Midweek Premier League treble: Liverpool, Man United and Spurs. £25,000 up for grabs in our free-to-play Golden Goal game Huddersfie­ld v Man City. if he beats today’s rivals. These include Minella Awards, who only has to improve 4lb to trouble the favourite which is possible and 7-1 offers fantastic value.

Unibet Champion Hurdle hope Defi Du Seuil makes his seasonal debut in the Ascot 2.40 and is a short price to start his season with a win.

In a race that has cut up significan­tly, he will be expected to deliver and currently trades at 9-1 for the big one in March. But, and it’s a big but, Philip Hobbs’ charge is unproven at the distance, unlike L’Ami Serge who won over 3m in France (soft ground) and he could hold the aces here.

The bookies can’t separate the top two in the market for the Christy 1965 Chase (2.05) so go 100-30 Smad Place and Top Notch, with the latter expected to improve for a spin over hurdles at Aintree two weeks ago. Flying Angel has been nibbled at each-way and is into 8-1 from 12s.

After a brilliant winning return in the Unibet Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestow­n, Faugheen is 9-4 favourite to regain the Champion Hurdle. French Crusader in the 3.25 at Huntington. Minella Awards looks sure to finish in the money, if not win, in the 2.25 at Haydock. It looks tight between Liverpool and Chelsea but 3-1 is a good price for the Reds to win by one goal. Liverpool, Crystal Palace, Tottenham and Bournemout­h all to win. Chris Robshaw at 9-2 to score a try for England and 11-2 for Stephen Moore to do the same for Australia. The F1 season ends in Abu Dhabi and Max Verstappen is well priced at evens to finish on the podium. We’re price boosting the field in the 2.25 at Haydock and offering best odds all of Richard Johnson’s rides. Hit The Beat in the 12.50 at Lingfield. Traffic Fluide can outrun more establishe­d rivals to be in the first two in the 3.00 at Haydock. Barrow to beat Bromley in the National League. Chelsea, Woking, Wrexham and Maidstone. Samoa +34 on the handicap against England. England won’t push too far beyond the line. Mark Selby to retain the Betway UK Snooker Championsh­ip, which starts in York next week. Our Free Bet Club is a must. Get £10 in free bets every week when you bet £25. Betway.com for Ts & Cs.
