"A win tonight would all but secure another season in the premiership for either team but Sunderland are the team to follow tonight. They are up against stoke who are very poor travellers and who struggle to score aswell. This should be a comfortable home win and with the Di Canio factor still buzzing around the stadium of light can't see past them tonight "

"Ever since being gelded Educate has done nothing but imrove and is now 3 for 3 since that operation. Last time out he won under top weight in an ultra competitive handicap at Doncaster(Spring mile). That was on very soft ground and there is nothing to say he will improve even further on a sounder surface. This time he has a nice racing weight of 8-11 . The yard are flying and if the better ground brings out any more improvement which i am very confident of then he could make a laughing stock of his current mark. "

"Grumeti was 3rd in the Triumph hurdle last year and then went on to beat Countrywide Flame(3rd in this years Champ hurdle) in a grade 1 at Aintree after. He then went on to the flat where he won a race and came a short head 2nd in his next. He has since had some issues and been off the track and makes his return today. His form is miles ahead of the rest, he is suited to the current conditions and in my eyes this is a grade 1 horse up against handicappers. Sametegal represents Our Conor form but he was a whopping 18l behind him. Grumeti has to give away weight all around but his class will see him go close here "

"Sacre Toi has been superb this season winning 3 of his last 4 starts and not out of the frame in his last 6. He is running 2 lbs out of the handicap today however he has been winning with such ease that it is not impossible to see him in the frame today. Hughes takes over the mount again and this course and distance winner off his featherweight will attempt to make all and have the others on the stretch. "

"Rigadin de Beauchene has been in superb form all season and if you strike a line under his last run which was over a much shorter trip than usual then he would be near the top of the betting. He was catching godsmejudge with every stride 3 runs back and pegged him on the line. That horse went on to finish 3rd in the 4 miler at cheltenham. The further Rigadin goes the better and he has a nice low weight which suits the trends very well. Giving a clear run he will be there come the end of the race "

"I strongly fancied Sydney Paget LTO as he looked extremely well handicapped but the much shorter trip proved too much for him. He runs off the same mark today back up to his optimum trip. He has won at Ayr before and given how much i fancied his chances last time out i will be keeping faith again that he is very well handicapped at a much bigger price this time. "

"Fulham are unbeaten against Arsenal in their last 4 meetings and i can see them denting Arsenals champions league hopes today aswell. 8th place is still a target for Fulham and a couple of good performances over the next few weeks and that can be theres. Fulham have been very good in London Derbies this season taking 11 points, 13 in a season was there best performance before that. Having been unable to score midweek this will be another struggle for Arsenal today and they will need to settle for a point "

"Norwich have been in and out of form all season but are not quite out of the danger zone yet. A win today should see them safe however their recent form of 1 win in 16 matches questions that. Readings ship has sailed and they will be playing in the championship next year with QPR. They battled bravely against Liverpool last weekend and another performance like that should see them settle for another point with 0-0 being the most likely outcome "

"For how poor their league form is and the fact they are facing relegation QPR have played some good football this season but their defence has been questionable. Stoke have only won 1 of their last 14 games and are dangerously close to the relegation zone. Stoke have also not scored in 15 matches this season which is the worst of any of the teams in the top flight. QPR with the home advantage should make them pay and at least give their fans something to cheer about. "

"Sunderland managed a great win at Newcastle last weekend but that was their only win in the last 10 games and are still struggling. They were up against a tired Newcastle team also which was very evident. Everton are unbeaten in the last 6 games but they are known for drawing games, especially away from home. No surprise to see this end a stalemate also "

"Swansea havent won this season when they fall behind and scoring first is something Southampton tend to do often. The saints are unbeaten in their last 5 whilst Swansea are struggling with only 4 wins in their last 17. Both teams can score for fun and this game should be full of goals and my prediction would be a 2-2/3-3 "

"Chelsea come into this game on back to back defeats but they have played some excellent football nonetheless. They have only been beaten once in the last 33 games against Fulham and given that this is an absolute must win for them whereas Fulham are safe for another year I can only see Chelsea dominating the match from the off. 1 point won't be good enough if they want to secure champions league football for another year "

They are up against west ham who now look safe and will be focusing on next year. Man utd have won against west ham in the past 8 meetings are are surprisingly good odds to do so once again an take that further step to the finishing line "
