IT’S an Easter Monday with a difference because we’ve got an FA Cup quarter-final to look forward to. And what a game it is – Chelsea v Man United just two days after both recorded contrasting results in the Premier League. For me it’s a United win but I’ll put up a full betting preview in the morning. In the […]

EASTER MONDAY’S a big racing day and here are Milesey’s top tip. Fakenham 2.15 HARRY TRICKER He has won two hurdle races and two chases from 2m to 2m 2f on good and good to soft ground but last win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 33-1 when eighth of 12 on his latest outing in a hurdle […]

I’VE already tipped wins for Atletico Madrid and Lyon on Sunday night but here are Milesey’s thoughts on the games. Atletico Madrid v Valencia (8pm) This glittering tie could well be the showpiece of the weekend as two sleeping giants battle it out. Bragging rights are owned by Valencia who won by two goals earlier in the season. Los Che […]

BEST race on the Sunday card is the Grade 1 Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse (4.30). This has an intriguing look to it, while the feature race in Britain on the face of it contains the most generous initial handicap mark seen all season. In the Powers Gold Cup the key is the frankly ropey jumping of most of the […]

ANDY MURRAY has the perfect reason to beat David Ferrer in this afternoon’s Sony Open Final in Miami. Do so and he’ll become world No.2 ahead of Roger Federer, giving him easier draws in the Grand Slams. Those who took my pre-tournament advice of backing the Scot outright at around 4.6 can now lay-off if they choose at around 1.37 […]

WHO needs Paddy Power when you can have Annie Power! That’s Milesey’s selection which should get us up and running with a winner on Easter Sunday. Fairyhouse 2.25 ANNIE POWER ANNIE POWER was most impressive when winning a Grade 2 event at Naas last month and Willie Mullins’ mare is fancied to maintain her unbeaten record. Mullins is making a […]

THE LINCOLN takes place at Doncaster today (3.05pm) after being rescheduled. Majestic Myles was placed in Group 3 company before winning 7f listed race at Chester (for second year running) in July. Ended year with a laboured effort in Park Stakes here, and has stamina to prove at 1m now. Prince of Johanne has added another big handicap to his […]

WITH most of the English League games on Friday I’m turning my attention on the SFL for this weekend’s top treble. It’s difficult to ignore First Division Partick Thistle title rivals and Morton and I’m adding in Third Division play-off contenders. It looks like a fight to the finish between the Jags who edged one point clear at the top […]

IT’S Good Friday so hopefully I’ll put up some good tips after a decent week. Last night’s Verona draw no bet returned stakes after two first-scorer Super Singles on consecutive nights. Most of the npower league games will be played today – watch out for the 3pm kick-offs – and tonight and I’ll put up some tips in the morning. […]

I WAS searching long and hard for a hidden gem yesterday – and all the diamonds turned out to be close at home. For the second day running I landed a first-scorer Super Single. On Tuesday it was Mario Balotelli at 5-2 and last night I tipped Queen of the South’s Nicky Clark at 4-1 with McBookie.com. Clark struck inside […]

GLASGOW is the setting for the latest round of the Coral Premier League darts and it promises to be another thrilling night of action. Home heroes Gary Anderson and Robert Thornton will as usual receive massive backing on Thursday night but the tartan hordes will also respect the likes of Michael van Gerwen and Phil Taylor. Here are Milesey’s thoughts […]

I STARTED you off with Wolverhampton but here are some more tips for Thursday. It’s a busy day of racing and there are a lot of cards to get through. Wolverhampton 15:15 Class 4 handicap over two miles Murcar is a versatile performer under both codes who returned to winning ways on first Flat start since 2009 over C&D in […]

PHIL MICKELSON is a mercurial and fascinating character and I can’t wait to see how he performs in the Shell Houston Open this week. At Bay Hill last week he was dreadful, four-putting from four feet on one occasion and playing just about as bad as he can but this is a different week and a different venue. He hasn’t […]

SCOTTISH international football’s at a low point after Gordon Strachan’s men became the first European side to be knocked out of the World Cup. Failure was on the cards from the time we started with home draws against Serbia and Macedonia so Scotland are odds on to finish bottom of Group A and fail to win a game in a […]

WHAT a day Tuesday was for Milesey. If there was a race he didn’t tip the winner I missed it. His short-priced nap came up among others and he’s out to repeat his success on Wednesday. Here are his tips: Lingfield 3.30 YOU DA ONE (nap) Andrew Balding’s inmate should win this maiden event with any amount in hand and […]

FOR Tuesday’s racing Milesey’s concentrating his efforts on Fontwell, Southwell and Lingfield – none of which are in Ireland. However, Linfield play in Ireland so why Lingfield’s not there I’ll never know. Anyway here are Tuesday’s tips from a man who knows his horses – and his geography. Fontwell 2.40 SUSTAINABILITY (nap) 1.25 SUSTAINABILITY shouldn’t have too much trouble in […]

TIGER WOODS is in to 4.7 favourite to win the first Major of the season – the US Masters – after returning to the top of the world rankings with a smooth success at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Woods led the field by two going into the weather-interrupted final round at Bay Hill, a course where he had won seven […]

IT’S all about Lingfield today and here are my tips for the SURREY meeting. Lingfield 2.10 PRINCE OF BURMA has failed to take advantage despite returning to a winning mark in handicaps and is dropped in class for this. Clear on official ratings, Jeremy Gask’s charge is the one to beat. Alhaban looks next best even though he has 12lb […]

LAST week was all about some weird and wonderful teams – but the obscure are becoming less obscure. Now when I look at Sunday’s lower-league games I recognise names such as Novara, Sassuolo, Spezia and Alcorcon. Novara were one of the sides who did site regulars a turn with victory at Varese and they face Ascoli at home in Serie […]

MY weather forecast is already up and here are my Sunday tips. It could be a great day of racing and a great day overall – if Stevenage win at Tranmere. Wincanton 2.55 LITTLE JIMMY 2.0 Little Jimmy completed a hat-trick over C&D earlier this month and is tough to oppose in this sort of mood. The Passing Glance gelding […]

PROSPECTS of Sunday racing are much brighter after only Southwell beat the big freeze on Saturday. The weather gods smiled on Wincanton and there is no inspection is planned for Sunday’s jumps card. “We’re perfectly raceable now,” said clerk of the course Barry Johnson. “We had heavy rain on Friday but nothing since this morning. It might touch freezing tonight […]

Prenton Park, Sunday, 4pm, live on Sky Sports AFTER all the Saturday call-offs Tranmere are hoping their televised League One meeting against Stevenage gets the go-ahead. It’s the only league game scheduled in England and for me it should be a home win. But when Stevenage are concerned there’s only one man for the job … and that’s Borough fan […]

YOU didn’t need to be Michael Fish to predict sport in the UK would be badly hit by the weather today. Southwell’s the only race meeting that’s survived and there are football matches off up and down the country. The Northern Ireland v Russia World Cup qualifier rescheduled for today is not surprisingly off again and the postponement of Annan […]
