What is your horse racing nap for the weekend? 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? Rogue Angel – won last year’s Irish Grand National, which has proven a good guide to this race down the years. Rogue Angel, Blaklion and Double Shuffle. Emerging Force (Aintree 3.40) arrives here fresh, will love the ground and is well weighted on his good hurdle form. Derby to beat Birmingham. Gary Rowett has the Rams ticking and would love to get a win over the club that harshly sacked him. Derby, Wolves, Millwall and Rochdale. Lewis Hamilton can land his fifth Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai on Sunday. Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City all to win today – 3-1 (from 2-1) from 9.30am.
VIEUX LION ROUGE and Definitly Red are our joint 10-1 favourites for today’s Grand National at Aintree (5.15).
Definitly Red has been the stronger of the two by far over the past weeks as punters latch on to Brian Ellison’s improving chaser.
A winner at Doncaster in March when beating last year’s runner-up The Last Samuri, the Town Moor form was boosted further when Yala Enki scored at Kelso so there is plenty to like about Danny Cook’s mount.
But in a race where only nine favourites in 70 have bagged racing’s most famous steeplechase, there is clearly much value elsewhere.
One For Arthur, who jumps like a buck, makes plenty of appeal at 16-1 and will stay longer than the mother-in-law But the ground could be on the fast side for the Lucinda Russell charge.
The race could have a major bearing on the Trainers’ Championship if any of Paul Nicholls’ quintet finish in the money. We’ve seen very good support for Saphir Du Rheu, who ran very well in the Gold Cup and is the type of horse, if getting into a nice rhythm, Measureofmydreams – if he can show the form of his third in last year’s National Hunt Chase he has a massive chance. Measureofmydreams, Rogue Angel and More Of That. In the 4.20 at Aintree, Cole Harden for Warren Greatrex will love the quicker ground and could be hard to peg back. Newcastle will be too good for a stuttering Sheffield Wednesday. The price of 5-4 looks far too tempting. West Brom, Leeds, Bury and Oldham. Widnes with a 10-point start at home to Wakefield is tempting and despite their struggles they can keep within the handicap. Sky Bet are paying five places in the Randox Health Grand National. One For Arthur to be the first Scottish winner since Rubstic in 1979. One For Arthur, The Young Master and Cause Of Causes. I hope the ground is fast enough for Cole Harden in the Liverpool Hurdle – please don’t over-water! It’s last chance saloon for Boro but I think they can beat Burnley at the Riverside. Burnley, West Ham, Spurs and Palace. Kings XI to beat Pune in the IPL at 8-11. We are betting ¼ odds six places on the Grand National for the seventh year in a row. Brett Williams on the weekend racing could enjoy the test of this race and 20-1 is an extremely good each-way price.
Highland Lodge (25-1), Vicente (20-1) and Ucello Conti (16-1) also feature in the ante-post betting, while More Of That is subject to several shrewd bets at 12-1 and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him go off much shorter – especially if JP McManus visits the betting ring.
From 10am Stan James will be top price all runners in the Aintree showpiece and paying five places.
Also at Aintree, Finian’s Oscar makes a belated return in the Mersey Hurdle (2.25) and is fresh after missing Cheltenham through injury.
Charbel is given a good chance to get his head in front in the Novice Chase (3.00). He looked to be going menacingly well before a fall in the Arkle.
Yanworth is 13-8 to give JP another winner this week in the Liverpool Hurdle over three miles, a trip expected to suit, but Cole Harden (9-2) wears a visor for the first time which could be enough to make the favourite pull out all the stops. I’ve got to stick with One For Arthur and am hoping a drop of rain comes to aid his cause. One For Arthur, Vieux Lion Rouge and Highland Lodge. Eqtiraan in the 3.45 at Lingfield for our flat ambassador Richard Hannon. Gelded since his last run (the horse, not the trainer!) West Ham are on a horrible run but I fancy them to turn that round today – the Irons to lead at half-time and full-time at 9-4. West Ham, Middlesbrough, Birmingham and Bristol City. Saracens to beat Harlequins in their rugby union clash at Wembley. From 10am Stan James will be top price all Grand National runners as well as paying ¼ of the odds each-way up to five places.
