DO THE DOUBLE

SOCCER

Tottenham were humbled by Arsenal in the North London Derby last week but bounced back with a win against Southampton on Wednesday. They head to Leicester this evening, and past meetings of the pair have been lively encounters with plenty of goals. While Leicester have been on a decent run and haven’t lost a game since October, they failed to beat bottom of the table Fulham on Wednesday which is a worry. I’m backing Spurs at even-money.

RACING

Trained by Kayley Woollacott, Lalor is one of the most exciting young chasers around right now and put in a cracking display of jumping on his chase debut at Cheltenham last month. At the time of writing, he’s priced at 4/5 in the Randoxhealth.com Henry VIII Novices’ Chase (1.50 Sandown) and those odds look about right for the six-year-old which signed off his hurdle career with a victory in a Grade One back in April. I can’t wait to see more from him.
