Who will win the King George on Boxing Day? What is your top football bet this weekend? ...and give us a weekend football yankee? What is your top bet in other events? And your special offer for this week? Full Irish (Haydock 2.45) – just his third start over fences but looks like he will relish the stamina test. Bigbadjohn (Ascot 3.00) had his finest hour over track and trip winning the Reynoldstown last season. I still believe there is better to come from Might Bite and the better ground will suit him. Unbeaten since Sam Allardyce took over, Everton are far too big at 5-1 at home to Chelsea. Everton, Leeds United, Sunderland and Blackburn. Minnesota Vikings -8.5pts against the Packers, who are missing star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. We are offering Best Odds Guaranteed across all channels at Ascot and Newcastle this afternoon. Unowhatimeanharry to land a knockout in the Long Walk Hurdle (Ascot 2.25). Go Conquer in the Lavazza Silver Cup (Ascot 3.00). It has to be Might Bite. Man United -2 goals at 11-2 away at Leicester tonight. Man United (10-11), Cardiff (21-20), Bristol City (8-5) and Luton (8-13). Australia (1-2) to win the Boxing Day Test at the MCG. Free match bet up to £25 on ITV racing when you back a winner with an SP of 4-1 or bigger.
AT Ascot today (2.25), Unowhatimeanharry is a weak 15-8 favourite in the Grade One Long Walk Hurdle.
In contrast, L’Ami Serge has strengthened into 9-2, while Lil Rockerfeller continues to attract support at the same price having won last month’s Ascot Hurdle.
Thomas Campbell (6-1) faces his toughest task yet but was ultra-impressive at Cheltenham in October.
It’s significant that Barry Geraghty has opted to ride Bleu Et Rouge, who’s 6-1 to claim the Racing Welfare Handicap Hurdle (3.35). But that hasn’t stopped punters lumping on 11-2 chance Charli Parcs in the same colours.
Full Irish is a 4-1 jolly in Haydock’s Tommy Whittle Chase (2.45) in a race where we’ve seen money for mudlark Vic De Touzaine.
Unibet is price-boosting all of Geraghty’s rides on Boxing Day. Attention will be on Might Bite, who is 6-4 to take a festive chunk out of the bookies’ satchels in the King George VI Chase at Kempton, as Nicky Cap Du Nord in the final race at Haydock (3.20) with James Bowen taking off a valuable 5lb. Divin Bere looks overpriced at 14-1 in his first start for Paul Nicholls (Ascot 3.35). Might Bite should have his ideal conditions and looks very good. Man United look a very backable price at Leicester this evening. Crystal Palace, Chelsea, Spurs and Man United. Phil Taylor to score more 180s at 8-11 against Justin Pipe this evening. New customers – bet £10, get £60. Check Ts & C. Merry Christmas! Henderson bids for a third success in the Boxing Day showpiece.
Henderson’s other runner Whisper is 8-1 from 12s as support for this gutsy chaser gains momentum.
Bristol De Mai, at 7-2, is the rising star in this rank but has shown his best form in very soft ground and the tempo and feel to this race will be a different kettle of fish.
Thistlecrack, last year’s winner, made an unsatisfactory return over hurdles in November and can’t be backed at 11-2 with any confidence. Fox Norton, stepping up to 3m for the first time, has been clipped into 13-2 from 8s.
Buveur D’air is 1-5 to win the Unibet Christmas Hurdle – this should be a formality. In the other Grade One, Mia’s Storm is 11-4 to win the Kauto Star Novice Chase but Elegant Escape looked good last time at Newbury and offers much better odds at 7-1. L’Ami Serge is unexposed at this trip so gets the nod in the 2.25 at Ascot. I think Vic De Touzaine should reward each-way support in Haydock’s Tommy Whittle at 2.45. It’s not original but I can’t see past Might Bite. He looks the real deal despite his quirks. Tottenham should beat Burnley so 3-1 for Spurs to win and both teams to score looks a solid bet. Tottenham, West Ham, Cardiff and Bristol City all to win. A Sharks-Gloucester double in today’s Aviva Premiership rugby union action. We’re offering best odds on all Barry Geraghty rides at Ascot and price boosting the field in the Ascot 3.35. Lil Rockerfeller can win the Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot (2.25). Battalion can outrun his price in the Betway Listed Quebec Stakes at Lingfield (1.45). Whisper each-way is the best bet. West Ham to beat Newcastle. Watford, West Brom, Crystal Palace and Hull. Australia to complete another 5-0 Ashes whitewash. Our Free Bet Club is a must. Get £10 in free bets every week when you bet £25. Betway.com for Ts & Cs.
