What is your top football bet this weekend? What’s your best bet for an FA Cup shock? ...and give us a weekend football yankee? What is your top bet in other events? And your special offer for this week? Wholestone (Cheltenham 3.35) can enhance his excellent course record with a fifth win in seven. Thumb Stone Blues (Doncaster 3.15) can hit the frame at least at a double-figure price. Swansea will want to keep the feelgood factor going against Notts County after their win over Liverpool. Newcastle to win at out-of-sorts Chelsea at 6-1 could be worth taking. Southampto­n, Swansea, Oldham and Mansfield. Castleford Tigers to lay last year’s ghost to rest and claim the Betfred Super League. Best Odds Guaranteed all races at Cheltenham and Doncaster across all platforms. L’Ami Serge at 11-4 to win the Sky Bet Handicap Chase (Doncaster 3.15). American (5-1) to deliver in the Cotswold Chase (Cheltenham 2.25). Huddersfie­ld look attractive at 3-4 to beat Championsh­ip strugglers Birmingham. Wigan at 7-5 to beat West Ham. Leicester (8-13), Huddersfie­ld (3-4), Brighton (23-10) and Bristol City (17-20). Rodger Federer to beat Marin Cilic 3-0 in the Australian Open Final (13-10). Free match bet up to £25 on ITV racing when you back a winner with an SP of 4-1 or bigger.

THE LAST Samuri is Unibet’s steamer of the week in today’s Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham (2.25) and Kim Bailey’s star chaser is 9-2 from an opening show of 8-1.

The 10-year-old is having his first run around Prestbury Park but that hasn’t put off punters.

Bristol De Mai has conditions to suit but is out to 5-4 from even-money despite winning two Grade races this season and finishing seventh in last year’s Gold Cup.

Definitly Red was impressive at Aintree last time and we’ve seen support for Brian Ellison’s raider, who has been clipped into 5-1 from 7s.

American is still unexposed and could be the fly in the ointment at the same price.

The Cleeve Hurdle (3.35) is a real corker and sees Relkeel winner Wholestone (10-3) take on Finian’s Oscar, who reverts to timber and is marginally the jolly at 3-1.

Both horses put their Stayers’ Hurdle credential­s on the line and Unibet are now No Runner No Bet in that 3m contest, as well as the five other major Grade Ones at March’s Festival.

Triumph favourite Apple’s Coo Star Sivola (5-1) in the 2m 5f Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (1.50) for Lizzie Kelly. Singlefarm­payment is too big at 33s (three places) for the Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham (2.25). Nottingham Forest to win at Hull in the FA Cup (2-1). Notts County double chance – draw or win – at 10-11 against Swansea. Nottingham Forest, Southampto­n, Leicester and Fulham. Simona Halep to beat Caroline Wozniacki in three sets this morning at 3-1. Special bet boost of 6-4 (£20 max) for Roger Federer to win Australian Open final in straight sets. Shakira is a warm order to take the Finesse Hurdle (12.40) but Philip Hobbs’ debutant Elixir De Nutz will relish conditions.

Tikkanbar has been most popular in the Novices’ Hurdle at 3.00 while Shantou Flyer, under James Bowen, has attracted plenty of money in the Handicap Chase at 1.50.

At Doncaster L’Ami Serge, representi­ng Unibet ambassador Nicky Henderson, switches back to fences in the 3.15.

Having Davy Russell aboard is a massive plus for this enigmatic character who finds zilch off the bridle and we’ve laid several bets at 3-1.

Next best in the market is 9-1 shot Flying Angel.

Mudlark Tenor Nivernais offers fantastic each-way value at 14-1 in his first outing of the season, while Wakanda has been given a chance by the handicappe­r.

In the Grade Two Mares’ Hurdle (2.40), Maria’s Benefit is 4-5 to complete a five-timer after bolting up at Taunton last time and is already 5-1 favourite for the Mares’ Novice at the Festival. Ballyandy is the pick in Cheltenham’s Novice Chase (1.15) following his New Year’s Day run. O O Seven is a class act and can be in the money again in Cheltenham’s Handicap Chase (1.50). Swindon have a great record against Crewe so take 7-1 for a 2-1 correct score to the home team. Let’s go for League One Wigan Athletic to beat Premier League West Ham at 6-4 today. Coventry, Leicester City, Doncaster Rovers and Swindon Town. Tommy Fleetwood to finish in the first five of the Dubai Desert Classic at 5-1 looks a very tasty bet indeed. Price boost for Cheltenham 1.50 and Doncaster 3.15, plus best odds all Daryl Jacob rides at Cheltenham. Shannon Bridge to win the Novices’ Hurdle at Doncaster (2.05). Wakanda can get a place in the 3.15 Handicap Chase at Doncaster. Bromley to beat FC Halifax Town. West Ham – the outsiders – to win at Wigan. West Ham, Solihull Moors, Boreham Wood and Wrexham. Back Michael van Gerwen ante-post for darts’ PDC Premier League title. Our Free Bet Club – get £10 in free bets every week when you bet £25. See Betway.com for Ts and Cs.
