Punchestown Festival: Growise Champion Novice Chase, Tuesday 6.40 Back In Focus has won all four starts over fences, including Grade 1 (3m) at Leopardstown and National Hunt Chase at the Festival last time, showing stamina is very much his forte. Big player. Boston Bob was one of last term’s leading novice hurdlers, and took well to fences to win first […]

Monday, 9pm (Live on Sky Sports Xtra) ZARAGOZA are still the worst team in a major European league in 2013 (W0-D5-L9). But, crikey, Celta Vigo aren’t far behind (W2-D3-L9). The result of their Monday meeting might turn on whether Celta (no clean sheets in 11 at Balaidos) can shut out Zaragoza (no goals in 5/7 on the road). Four of […]

AS another pair of Betfair World Championship contenders begin their campaigns, expect Mark Allen to progress with much less trouble than Stephen Maguire. Mark Allen v Mark King Back Mark Allen to win 10-3 1u @ 12.0 Back Mark Allen to win 10-4 1.5u @ 9.0 Back Mark Allen to win 10-5 1.5u @ 8.0 It will come as no […]

Unión Santa Fe v Lanús, Monday, 8pm LANUS look every inch the champions of Argentina this season and Guillermo Barros Schelotto will surely become a widely-coveted manager when he finally is crowned a league winning coach in his first job. Unión have won a couple of games this season (literally a couple) but are still 100 per cent going down. […]

MAN UTD appear to be coasting towards the end of the season and a more motivated Villa side might just offer the chance of an unlikely win at huge odds. Stats, form, years of Premier League history and just simple common sense point to a home win on Monday night as Manchester United host Aston Villa. It’s no surprise to […]

2.30 Hexham GOLD CYGNET 4.2 betfair A winner of a hurdle race at 2m on soft ground but that win was over three years ago. Beaten 1/2l by Diamond Frontier when second of 10 at 40-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Carlisle over 2m (good) last month. 4.20 Kempton EXCUSE TO LINGER 3.55 betfair Won on his […]

SANTEFISIO is a consistent sort, winning a handicap at Kempton in November. Decent efforts in defeat at Meydan earlier in year but as high as he’s been in the weights at present. Thunderball looked better than ever when making winning return to turf in big-field Doncaster handicap last month. Well held back there since, though, and wide draw perhaps not […]

Osasuna v Real Sociedad Sunday, 6pm (Live on Sky Sports 1) OSASUNA have not scored in 356 minutes of league football at the Reyno de Navarra. Zero goals simply won’t be enough against Real Sociedad, who have ripped into better sides with 23 goals in 11 away matches (W6-D4-L1). Asier Illarramendi’s suspension might send you running for a bit of […]

SPURS’ season has taken a turn for the worse and the last thing they need right now is a visit from in-form Manchester City. It’s been five Premier League matches since Tottenham beat the champions – a Peter Crouch header separating the two in early May 2010 at the Etihad as the Londoners secured a win that took them to […]

Back Peter Ebdon to beat Graeme Dott 3u @ 2.7 Back Over 16.5 Total Frames 6u @ 1.9 THERE’S always at least one first-round match at The Crucible that fails to finish in time, meaning the players have to come back at the end of the day. This repeat of the 2006 final looks the likeliest to go that way […]

Sochaux v Bordeaux, Sunday, 4pm THIS a game between hosts with everything to play for and visitors whose minds are likely to be elsewhere. Sochaux are just one point and one place above the relegation zone so desperately need points to stay out of trouble. Their home record (W5-D4-L7) is disappointing but they’re capable of raising their game in front […]

Race in Focus – 4:50 Newcastle BENEFICIAL REFORM was a dual winner at Doncaster last season over this trip. Good third in first-time cheekpieces there last time and not dismissed. Douglas Julian is an all-or-nothing chaser who posted a career-best when scoring at Kelso (23f) in December. One of his lesser efforts here last time. Railway Dillon, last of three […]

GODSMEJUDGE was the hero at Ayr with no double for Auroras Encore as widely predicted. Here are Milesey’s top tips for Sunday. DOUBLE 3.50 Newcastle IMJOEKING 7/4 Bet365 Successful in a hurdle race and a NH flat race at 2m and 2m 1f on heavy ground. Beaten a neck by My Idea when second of 6 at 6-4fav on his […]

QPR and Stoke are the lowest scorers in the Premier League but Mr M thinks there could be fireworks when they meet at Loftus Road this afternoon. QPR are all but relegated – 10 points adrift of safety with just a possible 15 to play for. Harry Redknapp was brought in to save their season but after a brief flurry, […]

Real Madrid v Real Betis, 5pm (Live on Sky Sports 4) REAL have won 13 of 14 home matches and 11 of them by two or more goals. Betis have the best away record of anyone outside the Big Two (W7-D2-L6). Our concern here is they have still conceded 29 times in those matches – that’s only once fewer than […]

GRIGOR DIMITROV did better than I thought against Rafa Nadal on Friday at the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters which brought my winning run to an end. Rafa was still the winner most observers expected him to be but the young Bulgarian provided enough moments of real quality to take the match into a deciding set, at which point his physical […]

Hartlepool V Brentford, Saturday, 5.20pm MILESEY won the single wars on Friday as he posted Borussia M’gladbach before we. Hopefully my view added some insurance to the tip and Borussia duly won at a handy price. I can’t be accused of copying Milesey’s single this time although Brentford are on the aways in my Record column which was finished by […]

AURORAS ENCORE often comes into his own at this time of year and did so once more to score at Aintree, taking advantage of a lenient mark to beat Cappa Bleu by nine lengths. The 11-year-old finished second in this race last year but having been put up 11lb for his National triumph, he is now 5lb higher than the […]

THE Scottish Grand National takes pride of place on Saturday. Milesey’s preview for the big race is on another post but here are his tips for the main event and some others. 7.15 Wolverhampton SAHARIA (Nap) Winner of seven races from 7f to 1m 1f on polytrack. Won on his latest outing when 4-7 fav at Lingfield over 1m earlier […]

CHAMPIONSHIP betting has been pretty unpredictable recently so let’s hope League One is better today. I fancied a couple of Championship sides such as Bolton and Brighton but in the end have decided to focus my efforts totally on League One. So let’s start with MK Dons who are at home to struggling Scunthorpe. MK sit one place and four […]

LAVAL travel to Dijon for a clash in the second tier of French football this evening (7pm) and while the Betfair market is expecting it to be quite low scoring Mr M thinks there will be plenty of goals. Dijon are seventh in the league after drawing six of their last eight fixtures. Relegated from the top flight last season […]

Monchengladbach v Augsburg, Friday, 7.30pm WHILE the Bundesliga title has been sewn up earlier than the milkman calls this season, there is still much to play for in Germany’s top division. Not least the battle for European places and the scramble for survival, with both themes being explored in this Friday night fixture. Five-time German title winners Borussia Monchengladbach in […]

THE Betfair World Snooker Championship starts on Saturday and here Milesey’s picked one player to back from each quarter. Back Ronnie O’Sullivan @ 7.2 This first section of the draw for the Betfair World Championship contains both of last year’s finalists, plus the man who won three of the previous five renewals. If seedings go to plan, Ronnie O’Sullivan will […]

IT was another profitable day on Thursday in what’s turning out to be an excellent week so far at the 2013 Monte Carlo Rolex Masters, as my recommended bet was an easy winner. Those laying Andy Murray to beat Stan Wawrinka 2-0 were in the money early on as the Swiss crushed the Scot for the loss of just three […]

THEY say it’s never easy picking a winner but for Milesey on Wednesday it was the BIg Easy. Our man’s Outsider of the Day won at 14-1 and his nap also romped home first – Tornonado at 1-1. Here are his Friday’s tips as he aims for more success. RACE IN FOCUS – NEWBURY 3.05 No Jet Lag won a […]
