THE Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase Challenge Cup is the very last race of the Cheltenham Festival. It’s one of those races that offers those run of the mill handicappers who run the minimum distance of just over two miles an opportunity to have their glory. Alderwood, last year’s County Hurdle winner off a pound higher mark, is an obvious […]

THE Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle is the highlight for conditional jockeys competing at the Cheltenham Festival. The trip is two miles and four and a half furlongs and the race was won last year by 20/1 shot Attaglance for trainer Malcolm Jefferson. Gevrey Chambertin is the bookies’ favourite at the moment. The grey’s only defeat in five outings came in […]

THE Foxhunter Chase Challenge Cup is a grade B steeplechase open to 4 year old and older chasers run over a distance of 3 miles and 2½ furlongs. Salsify returns to Cheltenham bidding to become the seventh dual winner of the Foxhunter Chase and first back-to-back scorer since Double Silk (1993/94). Although beaten by Tammys Hill on his first two […]

THE Cheltenham Gold Cup is the highlight of the Cheltenham Festival and the most prestigious Grade 1 chase in the UK. This year’s race features an intriguing clash between some rising stars and some heroes of the past. Sir Des Champs, trained by Willie Mullins, has been a leading contender since winning the Jewson Novices’ Chase at the festival last […]

THE Albert Bartlett is for Novices who are just below Ladbroke World Hurdle standard. It was added to The Festival in 2005 and it is run over the three mile. Willie Mullins’ Ballycasey will probably head the market courtesy of two impressive hurdle victories, albeit in moderate company. At Fishers Cross – trained by Rebecca Curtis – won a Grade […]

THE County Hurdle is one of the most difficult handicaps to solve, a handicap hurdle run over two miles and one furlong on the last day of the Cheltenham Festival. Cotton Mill, one of the favourites for the County, was leading the Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle last year when veering to his left at the second last, unseating Denis […]

THE Triumph Hurdle is the ultimate test for four-year-old at the Cheltenham Festival, run over an extended two miles and a furlong on the New Course. With this race being for novices only, it has often pointed to inexperience to being a problem in the past. Irish gelding Our Conor is the bookies’ favourite at this stage. He has made […]

IT’S week six of the Premier League darts at the MEN Arena in Manchester tonight and hopefully there will be fewer shocks than last time out. Here’s how Rodney Trotter sees the five big matches unfolding. The action starts at 7.10pm. Michael van Gerwen v Wes Newton We all expected Van Gerwen to beat Adrian Lewis last week but the […]

I’VE posted my thoughts on the English teams in Europa League action tonight elsewhere but here are my best bets in the other ties. My double is Zenit and Rubin at home and remember Fenerbahce and Lazio will both play behind closed doors. Zenit St Petersburg v FC Basel (5pm) Zenit coach Luciano Spalletti is under pressure after suffering three […]

IT was a mixed day two for me at Cheltenham with two winners but the disappointment of seeing Boston Bob fall at the last – and cost me a chance of a double with The New One. So what will day three bring – bulging pockets I hope. My results yesterday were: Cheltenham 1.30 HAWKES POINT P/U 2.05 THE NEW […]

BARCELONA are 7-4 favourites with Coral to lift the Champions League after Arsenal’s brave performance in winning 2-0 away to Bayern Munich wasn’t enough to see them through. Real Madrid are 3-1 second favourites with Bayern out to 7-2 after a shoddy show against the Gunners. Millwall won at Blackburn to seal a placed in the FA Cup semi-finals and […]

ODDS of 170.0 about Sean O’Hair catch the eye and not just because he’s already won this Tampa Bay Classic back in 2008. O’Hair is precisely the sort of proven winner worth sticking with when at big odds due to a lack of recent form. Four PGA Tour wins is an impressive return most players would envy and because of […]

ONLY a mistake at the last by Boston Bob prevented Milesey from keeping his 100% strike rate at Cheltenham with his TIPS. Let’s hope he can find another winner or two on Day 3. A real Irish flavour to this day is guaranteed, as we celebrate St Patrick’s Day a couple of days early! The racing is as competitive as […]

ENDA Bolger has enjoyed great success in the cross country sphere, saddling 15 winners in the last 38 of these type of races at Cheltenham through the likes of Garde Champetre, L’Ami and Heads Onthe Ground. This year’s Bolger candidate is Arabella Boy, a horse that has won twice around Punchestown’s cross-country circuit but did not complete the course at […]

TUESDAY’S results showed just how to tough it is to predict Championship games these days. Bottom can beat top and even leaders Cardiff are struggling, picking up five points from five games. So the fact Wednesday night’s FA Cup quarter-final replay features league rivals Blackburn and Millwall doesn’t make it any easier. Millwall had the better of a drab first […]

AFTER landing his treble yesterday Milesey is back with 2 fancies for today at Cheltenham. The feature race on day two of the Cheltenham Festival is of course the brilliant Queen Mother Champion Chase over two miles. It is one of the biggest races of the season and always proves to be a massive race for punters both on and […]

UNION Dues appears to be Willie Mullin’s leading hope this season having won impressively at Killarney and Navan. Empiracle, from the Jeremy Scott stable, Empiracle, has been ruled out of the race. Also Le vent D’Antan has one race to his credit, managing a 6 length win in a national hunt flat race in January. Shield recently won at Leopardstown […]

It’s a fantasy game where you set up your stable of 10 horses for the Festival and if they win you win points. Score the most points and you’ll win a minimum of £25,000.Entries cost a fiver […]

TODAY’S the day … the Cheltenham Festival is upon us and it promises to be a fantastic afternoon of racing. There are of course other meetings on Tuesday but I’m not sure if Sedgefield will get the go-ahead so didn’t do a write up on my two picks. With snow lying on the track there is an 8am inspection. Sedgefield […]

AFTER all the excitement of the Leigh Griffiths phantom goal I’m not putting on any bets on until the officials pass eye tests. The more I watch that Hibs belter being ruled out the more incredible it seems. Took me back to the time a Dundee United player smashed a ball into the net at Firhill a few years ago […]

PUNTERS who backed Leigh Griffiths to score first for Hibs against Hearts will be paid out – even though the game finished 0-0. Ladbrokes, McBookie.com and BetVictor have already agreed to settle all Griffiths first scorer, last scorer and anytime punts. McBookie will also pay out on the wincast. There was controversy when Griffiths’ late free-kick crashed off the underside […]

Today, Anfield, 4pm IT’S FA Cup weekend but the game that could provide most thrills is at Anfield. Spurs have been flying recently and will have plenty of backers at 3-1 with the likes of bet365 and William Hill but Liverpool have been in good form too and with Luis Suarez and Gareth Bale on the pitch there should be […]

ANYONE who read my Daily Record column yesterda will know I’m backing Man United to beat Chelsea in the FA Cup today. United are simply the best side in England at the moment while the Blues blow hot and cold. Alex Ferguson will still be furious at the way his side crashed out of the Champions League and an FA […]

Easter Road, Sunday, 12.45pm WITH the Old Firm derby a distant memory, the biggest game in Scotland is the Hibs v Hearts derby. And it used to be one of the easiest games to predict with the Jambos dominating their city rivals for years. There was a time when the Tynecastle men just had to turn up to win but […]

I LANDED my biggest Betway treble of the season last weekend – and boy did it feel good. Brighton, Motherwell and Partick Thistle all won for a 10-1 return. Over recent weekends I’ve gone for bigger trebles, strangely with better results, and that shows it doesn’t always pay to back the obvious. I’ve also been putting in more aways and […]
