HAVING suffered such bad fortune with the weather earlier in the year it is Southwell that comes to the rescue, providing the only action in Britain and Ireland today. Here are my thoughts with a Southwell placepot to follow. 1.25pm – Lucky Mountain shaped as if amiss last time and would have a little bit to find with Royal Skies […]

WITH the international double headers we’re left with English League One or Two and SFL matches this weekend. So there’s too much that stands out so hopefully this treble comes in – and beats the weather. I’m starting with Swindon in League One at home at Notts County. Most people went against the Robins at Yeovil in midweek but they […]

World Cup qualifying Group H, Bologna, 8pm FOR England it’s not if they win away to San Marino – it’s how many they’ll do it by. Roy Hodgson’s men are unbackable at a best 1-50 and even on the handicaps you have to look at England -4 or -5 for some value. Minus five pays just 11-8 at bet365 and […]

World Cup qualifying, Group A, Hampden, 8pm FOR me this game is all about Gareth Bale. If he plays well Wales have a chance but if he doesn’t turn up Scotland could win. Bale missed three days training this week with a virus and also has an ankle knock but he’ll start even if he has to play one leg. […]

PLANS have been made to switch the William Hill Lincoln at Doncaster to a week later should Saturday’s fixture be lost to the predicted snow. With severe weather forecast, the track’s owner Arena Racing Company has, in consultation with the British Horseracing Authority, made provision to reschedule the Saturday’s programme. The meeting, which heralds the start of the turf Flat […]

LOGGING on to this site has been a geography lesson this week with punters learning about teams they’d never heard of. Last night for example there were wins for the likes of Sutjeska, Albirex Nigata, Novara, Sint-Truiden and ENPPI – all tipped up by site regulars. And already today I’ve seen backing for Tampines, Oostende, El Ismaily and Garcilaso among […]

MILESEY’S back with some more tips and just a reminder that Huntingdon is off due to a waterlogged course. His nap on Thursday is Storm and let’s hope it runs a stormer. Kempton 6.30 STORM Stepping up to a mile after finding 7f last time out not enough for it’s blistering pace at the end when fast closing the leader […]

ZAMALEK, Oberhausen, Ural, Koln, Go Ahead and Gainsborough – how many of these sides had you even heard of before Monday never mind bet on? All were tipped up on this site – with good reasoning – over the last few days and all put cash in punters’ pockets. Pity the likes of Stevenage and Yeovil couldn’t oblige. So well […]

IT was another good day for Milesey who put several winners. Here are his thoughts for Wednesday’s race card and his nap and outsider of the day have now been added. MILESEY’S NAP A winning hurdler who got off the mark at second time of asking over fences in a three-mile maiden in January, Zaru (2.10 Haydock), was in the […]

I’VE already flagged up Stevenage as my Super Single – and if it doesn’t come in direct all your complaints at Milesey. They look a good thing at Bury with Dani Lopez back at the side and last weekend’s win takes the heat off under-fire boss Gary Smith. It’s not the easiest night looking at the English card so don’t […]

A QUIET Monday turned into a profitable night thanks to good input from contributors to the site and my full house of winning tips. I backed under 2.5 goals double at Dresden and Cluj and Go Ahead Eagles minus one while Cologne, Gainsborough and Xanthi were among other winners tipped. It’s a much busier night on Tuesday with more familiar […]

MILESEY got quite excited when Fulgora his Outsider of the Day, romped in the 5.30 at Wolverhampton. He had put up a good case for the gelding that was trading at 12.0 on the exchanges when he put it up. Here are some of his tips for Tuesday: Exeter 3.30 GEMINI AHHS 1.6 If this horse turns up today in […]

ANYONE wanting a bet tonight will have to trawl the lower leagues in countries such as Holland, France and Germany if they’re looking for value. It’s a fairly quiet week all round although there are some npower and SFL matches to look at on Tuesday so it might be better saving your money for then. The one side that stands […]

NAVAN and Southwell’s are the places Milesey would like to be today but after Cheltenham he’s probably still trying to recover. Anyway a win’s a win wherever you go and here are his tips for today. Navan 2.15 BONISLAND 2.45 Been told by the trainer, who is a mate “this horse is a class apart today, Barry Geraghty has been […]

ARSENE WENGER recently described Spurs as a one-man team and on the evidence of Thursday night he wasn’t too wrong. A side without Gareth Bale were hammered 4-1 by Inter Milan but still reached the last eight of the Europa League. Bale’s back for today’s meeting with Fulham and punters will be hammering him for first scorer. Unfortunately bookies know […]

St Mirren v Hearts, Hampden, Sunday 3pm IT’S a huge day for St Mirren and Hearts as they battle it out at Hampden to win the League Cup. We always knew the demise of Rangers would mean more final appearances for the smaller clubs – but this is a match-up that was totally unexpected. So it’s a great opportunity for […]

WELL it’s back down to ground with a massive bump today after an amazing 4 days at Cheltenham. At least the Grand National is just on the horizon, so still plenty of jump racing up until then before we get onto the flat turf season. So here we go with todays racing: UTTOXETER 14.05 ROCKY ELSOM 3.4 Going for the […]

IT’S amazing how a new manager can change things. Same players, different attitude and a whole set of new results. No wonder clubs switch bosses so often when in the mire. One wag recently stated if teans changed their boss every week they’d win the league. Bristol Rovers are one outfit who have benefited from a change at the top. […]

CHELSEA and Spurs are joint favourites for the Europa League after all three English teams avoided each other in the quarter-final draw. After seeing off Steaua Bucharest at Stamford Bridge, the Blues will face Russian outfit Rubin Kazan while Spurs, who clung on to beat Inter Milan after extra time, tackle Swiss side FC Basel. Both are 11-4 at boylesports. […]

He’s also summed up all his selections for the final day of the Festival.FAKENHAM 1.45 PRIORS GOLD Sets the standard in this race today, should take all the beating off a mark of 120, alot higher then anything else in this […]

IT’S all about the Cheltenham Gold Cup today – but after the dust has settled on four days of manic racing attention will turn to Friday night football. Motherwell v Hibs is the only league game in Britain – and what price a Leigh Griffiths goal after he – and some punters – were robbed in the derby with Hearts […]

MILESEY is back again with his tips for the fourth and final day of racing at the 2013 Cheltenham Festival. Cue Card delivered right on cue at 7-2 (tipped at 4-1) on Thursday but is other fancy, Reve De Sivola didn’t quite have the horsepower and finished 4th. His Bet of the Day, Romanesco finished a gallant third to secure […]

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).
