Be Aware
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Hard to fault the 7yo who has taken well to fences this winter. Form 122. Beaten just a length in a Grade 2 two starts back. Runner-up to a smart 157-rated runner six weeks ago in a Grade 1. Back in Grade 2 company for this contest. 16f on soft ground suits him, and I feel he has the edge over these four rivals.
14:05 2:05 Market Rasen
Mahons Glory
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Three nice runs from the 10-yo after coming off a five-month summer break. Runner-up over this C/D in September, only beaten 5L in his last two races: £44K and £84K in big-field handicap chases. Same mark for this 8-runner £23K veterans' handicap chase.

Hollygrove Cha Cha
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Just seven starts under rules for the 6yo mare, three wins from five over hurdles. Two starts over fences this winter. She was a 4L novice chase winner four weeks ago. It was only a three-runner contest, but she beat two useful rivals. She’s better judged on her chase debut in November, beaten 2L in a Listed chase while receiving weight that day. She was beaten by two quality 150+ rated runners. Trip and going will suit her, and an opening handicap mark of 129 is attractive.

Regal Ulixes
Daily Racing
25 EW
Unexposed, 4yo, four career runs, form 31-17. Top yard/jockey. Two useful novice stakes wins to his name. Last seen in a Group 2 contest at Royal Ascot last summer. The trainer has given him time to strengthen up. He’s been gelded since his last run. He might be better than his opening handicap mark of 94.
15:00 3:00 Windsor
Altobelli
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Two runs this winter for the 8yo. The longer trip and Grade 1 company were not suiting the selection four weeks ago. He did run well in a Grade 2 on his return in November, just missing out on a placing in a race won by a smart 154-rated Irish raider who has boosted the form since. He’s rated to run a big race in this Class 2 contest, and he receives a nice pull in the weights from the three market leaders.

Berkshire Whisper
Daily Racing
25 EW
The lightly raced 4yo has 3 wins from 6 on the AW??"twice over this course/distance??"and has been a runner-up twice. Back from a five-month break with two good runs in defeat at the end of last year. Good RPR ratings. Fitness should be good now. Top jockey Oisin Murphy takes over in the saddle, and he was the rider five starts back when winning a £77K handicap over this 6f C/D. He should be a player in this £23K handicap.

Melon
Daily Racing
50 WINNAP
Unexposed is a 5-year-old, with 2 wins from 5 over hurdles. He produced a big run five weeks ago after coming back from a nine-month break, beaten by just a length in a decent-looking 11-runner handicap. He can take a step forward after that effort, and 16f on soft ground suits him. Interesting jockey booking ??" a very capable Irish rider who can claim a useful 5 lb.
17th January 2026
12:30 Man Utd v Man City
Man City
50 WIN
Utd could only draw away to Burnley last week, and in their last home game they could only draw 1-1 with bottom club Wolves. A strong City side at even money looks like a great bet… away win
13:25 1:25 Haydock
Hurricane Pat
Daily Racing
50 WIN
Two wins from two over hurdles for the 6-year-old. He was an easy 5L Listed winner six weeks ago. The field was quite strung out, and on paper it looked a strong contest. Good rating, and he looks set for a big run in this Grade 2. His main rival was a good winner last time out, but there is a question mark on how strong that form is.
13:40 1:40 Ascot
Ooh Betty
Daily Racing
50 WINNAP
The 8-year-old mare is useful on her day. She has had two return runs this campaign, fading late on, but her fitness should be good now. This Grade 2 hurdle might have been the target. Regular, capable jockey Ben Jones now returns to the saddle. She was only beaten 3 lengths in this race last year, and she shouldn’t fear these four rivals.
14:00 2:00 Haydock
Richmond Lake
Daily Racing
25 EW
Two return runs this winter after an eight-month break ??" not disgraced ??" and it should have the 10yo back on top of his game. He was only beaten 3L in this race last year, and he has a handy 8 lb lower mark now. With a 157-rated runner in the race, the selection gets to run with just 10-3 on his back. He looks overpriced.
14:20 2:20 Ascot
Fugitif
Daily Racing
25 EW
Two return runs from the 11yo this campaign, running well for a long way in both races, and it should put him right for this handicap. A five-week break and a wind-op should help his chances. He has been rated much higher in the past. He ran a big race on his final start in the spring, every chance until the run-in in that Grade 3 handicap chase, and a 7 lb lower mark now should give him a chance.
14:35 2:35 Haydock
Phantomofthepoints
Daily Racing

The lightly raced 8yo has 2 wins from 12 over hurdles and has been placed four times. Two previous runs at this track, both over this 24.5f C/D, produced two narrow defeats in very strong company. He returned in November after a seven-month break and was beaten by just 4L in a quality 17-runner, £57K handicap hurdle over this C/D. He fell over fences on his next start, but there should be plenty of freshness about him after a five-week break. He could be set for a big run in this £15K handicap hurdle.
14:53 2:53 Ascot
Tripoli Flyer
Daily Racing
25 EW
Lightly raced 7yo, 3 wins from 7 over hurdles, placed twice. He was a smart 7-length Grade 2 novice hurdle winner last Feb. A little disappointing in three hurdle runs since, but they were all Grade 1 races and he was only 3 lengths behind the runner-up in one of those races. He is now running in a handicap and, with a good apprentice claiming 5 lb, he should have a chance.
15:00 Chelsea v Brentford
Chelsea
50 WIN
A new boss for Chelsea and they played some good stuff at times in the midweek 2-3 SF defeat to Man City, and I think they’ll build on that showing. Brentford have 7 away defeats in 10. Home win.
15:00 Leeds v Fulham
Leeds
50 WIN
Two sides in good form recently. Fulham do concede plenty. Leeds: 8 points from their last four home games, 11 goals scored in those matches. They can edge this match ??" home win.
15:00 Liverpool v Burnley
Liverpool
50 WIN
Shocking away form from Burnley this season. They’ve conceded eight more goals on the road than bottom club Wolves. I don’t give them much hope away at Liverpool. Home win.
15:00 Sunderland v Crystal Palace
Sunderland
50 WIN
It’s now no win in nine from Palace in all competitions. It won’t be any easier away to a good Sunderland side, who are unbeaten at home this season. Only the top three sides in the league have lost fewer league games. Home win.
15:00 Tottenham v West Ham
Tottenham
50 WIN
Spurs have been a little hit and miss this season, but they have some good players and they are at home. West Ham have not won in their last 10 league games, and they’ve conceded two more goals this season than bottom club Wolves. Home win.
17:30 Nottm Forest v Arsenal
Arsenal
50 WIN
Arsenal are top and even have a few players returning from injury, making life a little more comfortable for them. Forest have lost their way, are now fourth-bottom, and are up against it in this fixture. Away win.
18th January 2026
14:00 Wolverhampton v Newcastle
Draw
50 WIN
Newcastle are hard to predict and they've failed to win in 12 of 21 league games. They come into this game after a hard semi-final midweek game with Man City. Bottom club Wolves are playing with spirit. A win and two draws from their last three league games. They are at home and can get something from this match… draw
16:30 Aston Villa v Everton
Draw
50 WIN
Villa keep grinding out results, but they are not the best side going forward and might be a little overconfident going into this game. Everton have picked up points in 13 of 21 league games and are one of the better-organised sides at the back. Draw.
19th January 2026
20:00 Brighton v Bournemouth
Draw
50 WIN
Both sides have similar win/loss stats. Both have eight draws this season, with just three points separating them. Both come into the game with just one win in their last five league games. Points shared… draw.
