HENDERSON won the Arkle last year with the brilliant Sprinter Sacre and he has the outstanding contender again in Simonsig writes Milesey. The seven-year-old has won the Neptune at Cheltenham last season and after a good start to his chasing career he is the hot favourite here. Overturn has finished runner-up in last year’s Champion Hurdle and has won all […]

THE Supreme Novices Hurdle looks to be a cracker this year. Last year’s winner Cinders and Ashes is this year entered in the Stan James Champion Hurdle where he has a great e/w chance writes Milesey. My Tent Or Yours caught the eye of everyone with some pulsating performances. Nicky Henderson’s six-year-old heads into the race after his facile success […]

4.40 Mares’ Hurdle Race Only introduced onto the card in 2008, the former David Nicholson Mares’ Hurdle, now called OLBG Mares’ Hurdle, gives four year old (and above) Mares the chance to battle it out to see who is the Queen of the first day of Cheltenham’s meeting. Leading Irish trainer WillieMullins has confirmed that Quevega is roaring ahead of […]

4.00 Glenfarclas Handicap Chase A different dimension to the Festival, this cross country event is as competitive as anything else on the card. Trainer Edna Bolger has had such a strong grip on the race he has managed to win it four out of the last five times, most recently with Garde Champetre, the 2009 victor. Trainer Jessica Harrington believes […]

3.20 Stan James Champion Hurdle The Stan James Champion Hurdle is the highlight on day one of the Cheltenham Festival and always provides a thrilling spectacle featuring the fastest jumpers around. Run over eight flights of hurdles, usually at a frenetic gallop, the Champion Hurdle has produced some of the most famous names in the history of National Hunt racing. […]

MILESEY can’t wait for the Cheltenham Festival. He’s like a kid waiting for Christmas. It may be 6 days until it all kicks-off but he’s started narrowing the field already and written up his thoughts for Day One. See what he makes of the leading runners and riders over the next series of posts starting with the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle […]

2.40 JLT Specialty Handicap Chase One of the most competitive races of the Festival, the JLT Speciality Chase is a war of attrition fought out by a huge field of experienced jumpers. The sort of race that is more than likely to throw up a big priced surprise, a victory here puts the winner in the picture for the Grand […]

2.05 Irish Independent Arkle Challenge Trophy Steeple Chase The Arkle Challenge Trophy Chase is race two of the Cheltenham Festival and the premier test of jumping at speed for novice fencers. Run over two miles, the race is named after the legendary Irish steeplechaser who won the Cheltenham Gold Cup three times in the mid-1960s. Although Arkle himself did not […]

Anfield, Tuesday, 8pm, live on Sky Sports LIVERPOOL have been on a downer since winning the Carling Cup Final and defeat at Sunderland at the weekend made it three in a row in the league. Anfield fans can’t contemplate a fourth and with fierce rivals Everton visiting tonight Kenny Dalglish will be desperate to get back on track. However, I’m not sure […]

Monday, the Etihad, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 AVB may be history but RVP is very much alive and kicking. The Arsenal hitman looks like he’s being courted by big-spending Man City after netting a remarkable 21 goals in 20 games. How Andre Villas-Boas must have wished he could have arranged a swap deal with misfiring Fernando Torres. Such […]

WE’RE halfway through the FA Cup quarter-finals and there is another on Sunday and one more on Monday. I’m a bit of a football traditionalist and it would be great to return to the days when all ties were played at the same time – or maybe even the same day. Nowadays you’re lucky if they’re in the same week. […]

IT’S shaping up to a fascinating race for the English Championship title with just six points separating the top seven. Bournemouth returned to the top last night with a thumping 5-1 win at Fulham and the focus will be on the second tier today with just one Premier League fixture being staged. All the top teams have suffered form dips […]

WELL done to Falkirk who booked the first Scottish Cup semi-final spot with a scrappy 1-0 win at Queen of the South. The match was spoiled by strong winds but the Bairns couldn’t give a jot as they surged through. I expect them to be joined by Inverness, Celtic and Hibs. Favourites Celtic travelling to Dundee United on Sunday for […]

IT’S William Hill Scottish Cup weekend with four ties starting at Dumfries on Friday where Queen of the South entertain Falkirk in all-Championship tie. Owen Scott of the tournament sponsors has but together some specials and stats on the big games as well as stats for the SPFL matches taking place this weekend. Non-Premiership team to win cup 9-2 No […]

THE WGC-Cadillac Championship is at the tough Trump National Doral’s Blue Monster Course this week with the top 70 in the world rankings taking part. I like the look of Jordan Spieth this week. He’s had three top-10s this year from four tournaments and is looking in good shape. His driving accuracy is 60% and GIR nearly 66%. He tied […]

ASTON VILLA for once provided the excitement in the Premier League on Tuesday with a helping hand from Ben Foster. The West Brom keeper made a catalogue of errors that resulted in Christian Benteke scoring an injury-time penalty winner for Tim Sherwwood’s side. Tonight the focus is at the other end of the table with Chelsea aiming to maintain their […]

IT’S a been busy day in the football world – and that’s before the matches kick off. Rangers fans should be smiling after Dave King claimed victory in the boardroom battle and he’ll take over on Friday or possibly earlier. Is this the start of better times for the Ibrox club – or is there still a massive amount of […]

IF tomorrow’s Capital One Cup Final between Chelsea and Spurs is half as memorable as the last meeting between the sides it will be a thriller. Spurs won 5-3 at White Hart Lane on New Year’s Day and it’s a result that will still haunt Jose Mourinho and co. The Blues don’t usually conceded more than one – never mind […]

I’VE seen some good 4-11 bets in my time but here’s a cracker from McBookie. That’s their price on the Requisitioners winning the Rangers EGM vote next week. The 4-11 is that Dave King and his supporters will gain more than 50 per cent of the votes and be installed to the board. It is 2-1 the current regime will […]

WOLFSBURG and Napoli are 7-1 joint favourites with 888sport to win the Europa League after the last-16 draw was made. The Germans will be fancied to knock out an Inter Milan side lucky to KO Celtic while Napoli have been handed a winnable tie against Dinamo Moscow. Napoli boss Rafa Benitez is seeking to become only the second man after […]

IF there was one team Rangers would choose to face every week it would be Falkirk. During their adventures through the leagues in the last three seasons the Ibrox men have dropped points against minnows such as Annan and Alloa – but it’s been men against Bairns. The sides have clashed six times since August 2012 and Rangers have won […]

CELTIC beat Inter Milan to win the 1967 European Cup Final and luckily for them the game was played in Lisbon. On Italian soil the Hoops haven’t won in 11 attempts and I can’t see them breaking the sequence tonight. Unless we get a second 3-3 or another high-scoring draw Celtic will need to win at the San Siro to […]

I TRIED this a couple of weeks ago but most people stuck to putting comments on the top tips thread. However, it was a better success when I posted one this week even if most of the chat was about singing at Celtic and Rangers games. I will say though that I don’t think one comment on the subject was […]

MATCH of the night is at the Etihad where Man City host Barcelona in the Champions League and Ladbrokes have prepared some tasty-looking enhancements on the outright winner markets for the match. You can have 10-1 on Man City taking a first-leg lead ahead of their trip to the Nou Camp for the return leg. Or how about a whopping […]
