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? Mythical Magic (Doncaster 3.00) beat odds-on fav at Deauville last time and Ascot debut form franked. Vibrant Chords (Doncaster 1.50) – extra half-furlong can help him secure a deserved big prize. Defoe – Raheen House – Coronet. Chelsea have been in great form since the opening day loss and look fairly priced at 4-5 to beat Arsenal. Chelsea, Sheffield United, Blackburn and Bradford to win. Super Bowl favourites the Patriots to bounce back from home loss to cover -6.5 at New Orleans. Best Odds Guaranteed all races at Doncaster and Musselburg­h, and ¼ odds five places Doncaster 1.50. Rhosneigr (Doncaster 4.10) can oblige for in-form handler Charlie Hills. Stake Acclaim (Doncaster 1.50) is in form, goes on the ground and is 12-1. Crystal Ocean – Defoe – Capri. Chelsea half-time/full-time against Arsenal at our 7-4. Bristol City, Carlisle, Chelsea and Peterborou­gh to win. Sebastian Vettel to win the Singapore Grand Prix at 11-8. Free match bet up to £25 on ITV racing when you back a winner with an SP of 4-1 or bigger.

CRYSTAL OCEAN and Capri are our 7-2 joint-favourites for today’s St Leger at Doncaster (3.35).

Both were winners last time out and boast solid credential­s, although Aidan O’Brien’s Capri has been the strongest of the duo; at one point just shading favouritis­m.

Out to emulate Ballymoss, the first Irish-trained horse to complete the Irish Derby/St Leger double 60 years ago, the Ballydoyle raider has every chance stepping up to 1m 6f for the first time.

Crystal Ocean couldn’t be in better hands either and was very impressive at Goodwood in August, so isn’t without his supporters. But there’s no doubt the plunge horse of the week has been Defoe, who’s into 9-2 from 8-1 under “Mr Doncaster” Andrea Atzeni.

Four-times race winner John Gosden saddles Stradivari­us, who steps down in distance but has plenty of class and shouldn’t be underestim­ated at 6-1, while the steamer is Coronet – slashed into 11-2 from 16s once Frankie Dettori was declared to ride.

Elsewhere on a fantastic card, the corks will be popping if Mythical Magic wins the Champagne Stakes at 3.00, If the ground continues to dry I am sweet on the chances of Perla Blanca at Lingfield (2.30). Big Time Maybe tomorrow at Bath (4.15) is back at the place of his debut run when a well-backed second. Crystal Ocean – Defoe – Coronet. Leicester City to win at Huddersfie­ld. Leicester, Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea to win. England 8-13 is a fair price in this evening’s T20 clash against West Indies. One Golden Goal customer won £50,000 last week – £25,000 up for grabs in the United v Everton game. having won nicely in France last time. With the ground in his favour he could enhance his claims for next year’s Classics. Dream Today is popular too and a big danger under Oisin Murphy.

From 10am Stan James will be top price all runners in the Portland Handicap at 1.50, where Vibrant Chords and Stake Acclaim head a wideopen market at 9-1.

Lexington Abbey is in good form and has the services of Ryan Moore, which hasn’t gone unnoticed and he’s 10-1 from 14s. Hakam for Mick Appleby has his fans at 14-1.

Home Of The Brave has his ideal conditions in the Park Stakes (2.25) and is into 5-2 forms 3s, while Nathra at 4-1 could be a big price.

At Chester, Across The Stars can resume winning ways in the Stand Cup (2.40) and Dan Troop, with a plum draw, has attracted interest in the Handicap at 3.15. MICHAEL Van Gerwen and Phil Taylor lock horns in the Unibet Champions League of Darts in Cardiff, with “The Power” overpriced at 6-1. Mythical Magic in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster (3.00). Lexington Abbey in the Portland Handicap at Doncaster (1.50). Defoe – Coronet – Capri. I’ll be surprised if Watford net against Man City, so evens for both teams not to score looks a good bet. Newcastle, Manchester United, Cardiff City and Hull all to win. Phil Taylor is too big at 6-1 so worth an each-way punt in the Unibet Champions League of Darts. From 10am we’re top price in the Portland H’cap and best odds on a specified horse between 11-noon. Hey Gaman in the 3.00 at Doncaster can rack up a hat-trick. Stradivari­us in the St Leger at Doncaster (3.35). Defoe – Venice Beach – Stradivari­us. Chelsea’s price to beat Arsenal tomorrow makes them one of the best bets of the season so far. Chelsea, West Brom, Man United and Leicester to win. Gennady Golovkin to beat Saul Alvarez. ‘4 To Score’ is the free-toenter prediction game on Betway.com. Take your chance to win £25,000.
