And your special offer for this week? Politologue (Sandown 2.55) was impressive at Exeter and is overpriced to beat Fox Norton. The Happy Chappy (Sandown 3.30) looks fair value at double figures in the London National. MK Dons look overpriced against a Shrewsbury side who have lost their last two in the league. Swansea, MK Dons, Oxford and Chesterfield to win. Two-time champion Adrian Lewis looks too big at 33-1 each-way in the favourable half of the draw. Vasyl Lomachenko to beat Guillermo Rigondeaux on points at 15-8. Chelsea and Tottenham both to win – 5-4 from 4-5 (available from 9.30am). Sametegal (7-2) to win the 3.10 at Aintree. The Last Samuri (15-2) to get a place in the Becher Chase (Aintree 1.30). Man City (5-4) to beat Man United tomorrow. Man City (5-4), Watford (2-1), Leicester (9-5) and Swansea (17-10). Adrian Lewis each-way at 33-1. Joe McFadden at even-money to win Strictly. £20 free bet with every winner you back with an SP of 4-1 or bigger on today’s ITV races.
LAST year’s Unibet Greatwood Hurdle winner North Hill Harvey (6-1) looks well worth a shot at Grade One level today in an excellent renewal of the Henry VIII Novice Chase at Sandown (1.45).
Harry Skelton’s charge has made a cracking start to his chasing career – two from two over the larger obstacles – and is 12-1 for next year’s Arkle. That’s likely to shorten if successful here.
But Brain Power jumped like a stag on his chase debut at Kempton and is already 8-1 second favourite to win the Novice Championship. That could look a very big price if the expected improvement continues.
Finian’s Oscar is stepping back down in trip, which is a slight concern, but he did win the Tolworth Hurdle over this distance so he’s no forlorn hope at 15-8.
Fox Norton is 8-13 to win the Tingle Creek (2.55) after the defection of Douvan and the 11-time winner arrives here on the back of a facile victory at Cheltenham last time.
He should be hard to beat if he shows the same form but Politologue (100-30) has always Blaklion to win the Becher Chase at 11-4 (Aintree 1.30). Fletchers Flyer, despite a poor run at Wincanton, looks too big at 8-1 in the 3.30 at Sandown. Crystal Palace to beat Bournemouth. Palace, Liverpool, Leicester and Watford to win. James Wilson to win his first round match at evens. Joe McFadden (11-10) to win Strictly. £50,000 up for grabs in our free-to-play Golden Goal on the Man United v Man City game tomorrow. threatened to rise to the top of this division and would have scored in Grade One company at Aintree in April but for stumbling and falling at the last fence.
He represents much better value in what looks a twohorse race.
Punters are sweet on Sugar Baron in the London National (3.30) along with Houblon Des Obeaux, who scored over C&D last month and loves it when the mud is flying.
Crossed My Mind has been the best backed in the 2.20 and is 13-2 from 7-1 in a typically tricky handicap. William H Bonney is our 4-1 market leader ahead of the overrated Jenkins at 9-2.
At Aintree, Blaklion heads the betting at 5-2 in the Becher Chase (1.30) and he’s only 1lb higher than when third over the same fences in the Grand National. However, in a typically wide open renewal, Unibet has seen money for As De Mee (10-1) and Viva Steve (16-1).
At Punchestown tomorrow, Sizing John and Djakadam go head to head in a mouthwatering John Durcan Memorial Chase at 2.05. Nicky Henderson is very keen on Baden tomorrow at Huntington (1.25) – that’s good enough for me. Crossed My Mind in the 2.20 at Sandown. Crystal Palace face a tough afternoon at home to Bournemouth today so 49-20 the draw looks good. Burnley, Tottenham, Leeds and Nottingham Forest to all win. I think 10-1 with Unibet for Phil “The Power” Taylor to finish runner-up looks a good price to me. Munster to beat Leicester today – take the home team to beat the visitors by 11-15 points. We’ll price boost all live ITV races 10 mins before the off and top price all Robbie Power rides at Sandown. Music Society to deliver in at Wolverhampton (7.45). Highland Lodge loves the Becher Chase and can at least place (Aintree 1.30) Over 2.5 Goals Double – Burnley v Watford and Newcastle v Leicester. AFC Fylde, Bromley, Maidstone and Hartlepool. Phil “The Power” Taylor to make the semi-finals. Seattle Seahawks to beat Jacksonville Jaguars in Sunday’s NFL. Our Free Bet Club is a must. Get £10 in free bets every week when you bet £25.
