The John & Thady Gosden stable has been in excellent form over the last two weeks. It therefore makes perfect sense to try placing a bet on one of their horses. What’s more, Velvet Vega has an excellent pedigree

A Bear Affair represents Richard Hannon's stable. Sean Levey will be in the saddle. Victory in a Class 2 race at Doncaster makes A Bear Affair the favourite to win this race at Ascot

Poseidon's Warrior represents Charlie Appleby's stable. His rating is significantly higher than that of the other competitors, making a bet on his victory a perfectly logical choice

Hearts And Spades represents Ian John McCarthy’s stable. The stable won this race last year, and Hearts And Spades, with six wins in PTP races to its name, is well placed to take the title this year

It won’t be a particularly original bet, as Its On The Line has won this race three times in a row over the last three years. At nine years old, he’s still far from past his prime in races like this

Last year, Dinoblue won this race, finishing 35 lengths ahead of her nearest rival. She remains in top form and has a very good chance of winning

William Mullins has won this race for the last five years running, with Paul Townend in the saddle each time. This year, Paul Townend will be riding King Rasko Grey. So I'm backing King Rasko Grey

William Mullins has won this race for the last three years running with State Man, with Paul Townend in the saddle each time. This year, Paul Townend will be riding Lossiemouth. I agree with the majority view that Lossiemouth is the favourite

On Friday, Leeds will kick off the latest round of the English Premier League with a home match against Burnley. The season is drawing to a close and it is time to take stock. For Burnley, the results are disappointing. The team failed to stay in the Premier League and will spend next season in the Championship. Leeds can count reaching the FA Cup semi-finals as a positive. Judging by their performances in recent matches, Leeds look the stronger side, and I’m backing the home side to win this game

On Saturday, Ipswich will play their final Championship match at home against QPR. Ipswich need a win to secure promotion to the Premier League
