NICKY HENDERSON holds the key to the Imperial Cup today at Sandown (2.25).

The Unibet ambassador has Whatswrong­withyou topping the market at 5-1 and dual C&D scorer Call Me Lord 7-1.

Both horses are unexposed and backed accordingl­y. The former, who still holds entries at Cheltenham next week, is most popular as punters believe he’ll defy a 6lb rise.

Le Patriote was impressive last time and splits the Seven Barrows duo at 13-2 but faces a hefty hike in the weights.

The Dubai Way, unbeaten for Harry Whittingto­n, has been very popular in the 1.50, while Daryl Jacob is a positive jockey booking aboard Princess Roxy in the Mares’ Bumper at 3.00.

At Cheltenham, Getabird (6-4) is expected to get punters off to a flying start in the Supreme on Tuesday. But Willie Mullins’ charge faces tough opposition from Kalashniko­v, who was very good at Newbury last time when beating experience­d rivals and is a generous 5-1.

Claimantak­inforgan is 12-1 from 16s in the same race.

Unibet Champion Hurdle favourite Buveur D’Air (8-15) bids to gain back-to-back wins in the hurdling crown and Al Shahir in the EBF Final at Sandown (1.50) – the step-up in trip should suit. Our Duke in the Gold Cup on Friday. Coo Star Sivola; Redicean; Monalee; Our Duke. This is a big game for Everton and I think they will beat Brighton – 6-5 is fair. Everton, Spurs, Forest and Cardiff. Our guys are very keen on Scotland (+10pts at evens) at the Aviva Stadium today in the Six Nations. Bet £10 at evens or greater and get £60 in bonus bets including £50 to be used over Cheltenham. will be hard to catch but Elgin, who was supplement­ed at a cost of £20k, is solid each-way material along with Wicklow Brave, who can outrun his odds. Both are currently 16-1.

Petit Mouchoir is the strongest in the Arkle betting at 5-2 and can reverse form with Footpad. Brain Power has been nibbled into 7-1 from 9-1.

In the Cross Country Chase on Wednesday, dual Festival winner Tiger Roll has been very popular and is now 5-1 from 10s as a gallant gamble continues on this dour stayer. Act Of Valour is a worthy favourite in the Fred Winter but we’ve seen shrewd money for Eureu Du Boulay, who is now 33-1 from 50-1.

Terrefort could be favourite in the JLT on Thursday with ground conditions set to suit and we’ll price-boost the field in the 2m 5f Grade One as well as doing the same for all Henderson’s Festival runners.

Yanworth reverts to timber in the Stayers’ Hurdle and is predicted to go off shorter than his current 5-1. After Sizing John’s withdrawal, Might Bite was shortened into 100-30 favourite from 7-2 to bag Friday’s Gold Cup. Whatswrong­withyou could be capable of an Imperial Cup-Cheltenham Festival double. Santini in the Albert Bartlett on Friday. Claimantak­inforgan (Supreme); Act Of Valour (Fred Winter); Rhinestone (Bumper); Yanworth (Stayers). Take West Brom to end a run of five straight losses today with a home win over Leicester (2-1). Southampto­n, West Ham, Arsenal and Tottenham all to win. Take 29-20 for England to beat France by between 1-12 points in what looks a fantastic game. We’ll price-boost the fav in all Festival Champioins­hip races and best odds all Nicky Henderson runners. Summer Name to win the 2.40 at Wolverhamp­ton. Black Corton for the RSA Novices’ Chase on the Wednesday. Black Corton (RSA); Bigmartre (JLT); L’Ami Serge (Stayers’); Kilbricken Storm (Albert Bartlett). Dover Athletic to win at Eastleigh. Dover Athletic, Burnley, Swansea and Watford.
