WE can’t often say Scotland WILL win a game but on Sunday that’s the case. There’s not a lot to gain for Gordon Strachan whose side face world football’s biggest minnows in the shape of Gibraltar. He won’t get any credit unless his side net more than seven and they’ll be slated if they succeed by fewer than four goals […]

I’M going for a Scottish both teams to score treble tonight and let’s hope the teams are in the mind. My first pick is based purely on stats but it’s difficult to ignore the fact all three meetings this season between East Fife and Berwick have finished 3-2 – all to the away side. East Fife are favourites tonight but […]

IT’S international week but before we get into those games there are some lower-league matches in England and Scotland tonight plus Conference and League of Ireland clashes. I’ve taken a good look at the card and for the Super Single have split stakes on Rochdale to win and Rochdale not to lose at League One rivals Oldham. Rochdale boss Keith […]

IF Barca-Real is the big game on the Continent there is no doubt match of the day in England on Sunday is Liverpool v Man United. It will be a contrasting contest to that of the one at the Nou Camp but hopefully no less exciting between two fierce rivals. For me it’s about what United team will turn up. […]

Barcelona v Real Madrid, Nou Camp, Sunday, 8pm FORM goes out of the window in derbies so it’s always tricky trying to predict matches such as El Clasico. Barcelona v Real Madrid games are always anticipated even though they seem to come around much more usual than in past seasons due to many meetings in cup contests. Luis Enrique has […]

THERE isn’t an outstanding Premier League match on Saturday but there are some interesting ones. The big game takes place on Sunday with Liverpool hosting Man United and I’ll post a separate preview on the match. Arsenal look best bets on Saturday as they head for off form and injury-hit Newcastle. The Gunners, who played well in Monaco despite crashing […]

IT’S a big weekend in the SPFL with Celtic v Dundee Utd going to war for the fourth successive game and Hearts having a chance to win the Championship. After six reds in three meetings a sending-off at Parkhead on Saturday will be a popular pick while Hearts will be champions if they beat Falkirk and Hibs fail to take […]

THERE are loads of games to pick from on Tuesday and that doesn’t make it any easier. The Championship is often a place for goals in midweek and I’m starting with Cardiff v Bournemouth which was 5-3 to the home men in the reverse fixture. Cardiff’s last three have seen both score including last weekend’s win at Brentford. Six of […]

IT’S part two of Celtic’s four-game shootout with Dundee United and Ronny Deila will hope to land part one of a domestic treble. The first instalment at Tannadice was fiery with red cards, incriminations and plenty of video reviews in the aftermath. Hopefully it will be just as exciting at Hampden on Sunday and after 90 minutes I expect Celtic […]

IT’S the first final of the season in Scotland on Sunday and Celtic are hot favourites to beat Dundee United at Hampden. I’ll post a separate preview of the big game and here are some prices and specials from Owen Scott’s William Hill on the Scottish League Cup Final. To Lift The Trophy Dundee Utd 4-1 Celtic 1-7 90 Minutes […]

IT’S incredibly bunched at the top of the English Championship with four sides locked on 66 points. One behind Bournemouth, Derby, Watford and Middlesbrough come Norwich and you can’t rule out Brentford on 62, Ipswich on 61 or even Wolves with 58. The way things stand any of the top eight could win automatic promotion but for me it’s two […]

THERE are just three games in the Scottish Premiership today with the showpiece Dundee United v Celtic League Cup Final taking place tomorrow. There is a full Championship card too and here some stats and specials from William Hill’s Owen Scott. These are not tips – and on the end is some team news. HAMILTON v ROSS COUNTY Hamilton have […]

WHAT start to the Festival! Day one couldn’t have been more dramatic and were it not for Annie Power falling at the last the bookies would’ve been crying in to their cornflakes this morning. As it was they’re still licking their wounds as most punters ended up on top so the bookies will be aiming to claw back some money […]

MAN UNITED have struggled to beat poor sides recently and I don’t see them taking care of Arsenal tonight. Louis van Gaal’s men remain in the Premier League top four but wins such as the midweek one at Newcastle have been solid rather than spectacular. Maybe the Dutchman will try to play “the Man Utd way” next season but for […]

DONALD McCain’s Super Duty is the clear favourite for this amateur riders’ three-miler. McCain was seriously thinking of running him in the RSA instead, which tells you how highly he rates the seven-year-old. Cantlow, finished third to Cape Tribulation in the Pertemps Final at last year’s Cheltenham Festival, has an entry here as well as in other three Festival handicaps. […]

THERE is a big question mark over the participation of several horses prominent in the ante post market. Fago and Arvika Ligeonniere are more likely to run in the Arkle, while Boston Bob and Dynaste look to be bound for the RSA. Captain Conan represents the powerful stable of Nicky Henderson in this race and is unbeaten in three starts […]

SAM Winner is very favourite and heavy backed by punters although he has had just one start over hurdles this season, when fifth in a Pertemps series qualifier at Sandown in December. Anyway he was a Grade Two winner at Cheltenham in his novice days when he pulled 15 lengths clear of leading Champion Hurdle hope Grandouet. Close House, a […]

CHAMPION Chase winners Finians Rainbow and Sizing Europe have yet to convince they are as effective over this longer trip, while Sir Des Champs and First Lieutenant seem much more likely to go for the Gold Cup. Sizing Europe has won his last five races on the trot since finishing second by under 2 lengths at last season’s Queen Mother […]

THE absence of Big Buck’s has left the World Hurdle wide open this year. And also Grand Crus will, runenr-up in the 2011 World Hurdle, will miss the race through an injury. Reve De Sivola has rediscovered his form of old since going back to hurdles after an unsuccessful stint chasing. He won the two commonly associated prep races, the […]

Ballynagour looked to have any amount in hand when scoring on his British debut at Warwick recently. A word of caution is required though, he holds no less than 6 Festival entries and it would take a better man than me to predict what the Pipe team have in mind for this exciting horse. Hunt Ball was recently third in […]

RIVAL d’Estruval, the eight-year-old, trained in Northumberland by Pauline Robson for owner Raymond Anderson Green, has won two of his four starts over fences so far and finished runner-up in the others. Back In Focus, the likely representative from the Willie Mullins yard, has solid credentials as he has looked an out-and-out stayer in winning all three of his chase […]
Posted on: 08 Mar 2015
THE ex-French Pont Alexandre made a big impression when winning a Navan Grade 1 on his debut for the Willie Mullins yard. The unbeaten five-year-old has raced only twice for Mullins since arriving from France, scoring with plenty to spare both at Navan in Grade 1 company and in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown. The New One has already won […]

DYNASTE is fully justified to go off favourite after three impressive victories at Cheltenham, Newbury and Kempton. He has jumped like a seasoned handicapper and his most recent victory in the Feltham Novices’ Chase was the outstanding performance by a three-mile novice this season. Although Dynaste has not been seen for 10 weeks, that shouldn’t be a worry as this […]
Posted on: 08 Mar 2015
FRENCH seven-year-old Sprinter Sacre is arguably the most likely winner of the whole four days and, in all likelihood, he will become the shortest priced winner at the festival since the great Arkle. The Nicky Henderson-trained seven-year-old is unbeaten in six starts over fences and recorded a third consecutive Grade One success on his seasonal return with a stunning display […]
