Benaldo1981's Tips

23rd February 2026
10:00 Jak Jones v Liam Highfield

Liam Highfield

Win Match

50 WIN

+189

Back it

This looks a close match to call, so I'm surprised there's this big a gap in their respective prices. Highfield has some value at this price.
10:00 Peifan Lei v Dylan Emery

Dylan Emery

Win Match

50 WIN

+150

Back it

Emery looks to have a decent chance of beating Lei here, and statistically both players look pretty evenly matched. I'll back Emery as a result.
13:00 Yuan Sijun v Julien Leclercq

Julien Leclercq

Win Match

50 WIN

+150

Back it

This looks a close one to call. I had Leclercq down as only a marginal underdog for this one, so 6/4 looks a value pick to me.
14:00 Hossein Vafaei v Artemijs Zizins

Artemijs Zizins

Win Match

50 WIN

+175

Back it

Zizins is a better player than this price suggests, and I think he's a creditable play against an out-of-sorts Vafaei. Could be a minor upset.
16:00 4:00 Ayr

El Jefe

Daily Racing

25 EWNB

+1600

Back it

El Jefe placed when last seen over this trip from this mark and also placed here last November, so seems to enjoy a spin around here at Ayr. He has no trouble with the softer going. A cursory glance at the form shows he normally gives us a good run for our money. Connor Rabbit retains the ride, and he's the same jockey that got the aforementioned places too.
16:00 Dusan Lajovic vs Yannick Hanfmann

Dusan Lajovic

Win Match

50 WIN

+162

Back it

This looks a pretty close one to call, so Lajovic perhaps possesses a bit of value here as he's very close to matching Hanfmann when looking at form and stats.
16:45 4:45 Plumpton

Little Lady Lucy

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

+2500

Back it

Little Lady Lucy is forgiven for the last-time-out trip at Southwell, as it was her first outing in almost eight months. She is likely to strip fitter for this and has each-way claims from this reduced mark if she matches her peak runs from last year. She is one of two for the stable, which has a pretty decent record here, and I'm not sure she should be this much of an outsider.
17:00 Alycia Parks vs Oksana Selekhmeteva

Oksana Selekhmeteva

Win Match

50 WIN

+100

Back it

Selekhmeteva looks a decent double-your-money play here. These two are closely ranked, so I can see why the odds are structured like this. But Parks doesn't seem to be matching her opponent statistically and is being taken on.
19:00 Anna Bondar vs Kamilla Rakhimova

Anna Bondar

Win Match

50 WIN

+129

Back it

Pretty poor start to the calendar year for Rakhimova, so Bondar is given a look at this price. She's the higher-ranked player and capable of the win.
19:00 Joe O Connor v Aaron Hill

Aaron Hill

Win Match

50 WIN

+129

Back it

I actually think Hill should be the favorite for this one. I think he's been marginally the better player on this surface and is worth a look at this price.
19:00 Tom Ford v Martin O Donnell

Martin O Donnell

Win Match

50 WIN

+175

Back it

Another difficult match to predict, with both players looking statistically even. I'm surprised O'Donnell is this price, as he has a real chance to progress in this one.
20:00 Everton v Man Utd

Everton

50 WIN

+270

Back it

Everton look a genuine European contender this season. With home advantage against United, I think they look great value to win this.
20:00 Marina Stakusic vs Dayana Yastremska

Marina Stakusic

Win Match

50 WIN

+200

Back it

Fifth-seeded Yastremska could be in trouble here. Stakusic is a decent, backable prospect, putting in good form on this surface, coupled with Yastremska's struggles for consistency.
20:00 Walsall v Milton Keynes Dons

Walsall

50 WIN

+189

Back it

Walsall in freefall to a degree, but this is a real opportunity for them to pick up the points against a play-off rival, and they are taken at this price to land the victory.
24th February 2026
01:30 Emiliana Arango vs Anastasia Potapova

Emiliana Arango

Win Match

50 WIN

+325

Back it

You do have to go back to last October for Arango's last tour win, but she'll win one sooner or later. With her holding the head-to-head advantage over Potapova, she's backed here.
23:00 Rafael Jodar vs Cameron Norrie

Rafael Jodar

Win Match

50 WIN

+125

Back it

This looks a dangerous match for the seeded Norrie. Jodar knocked out a higher-ranked player at Delray Beach and is in strong form at the start of this campaign.
23:00 Terence Atmane vs Grigor Dimitrov

Terence Atmane

Win Match

50 WIN

+275

Back it

Sluggish start to the year for both players, but Dimitrov has particularly dipped in recent weeks. Atmane at least progressed past a round in Delray Beach last week.
23:00 Tristan Schoolkate vs Miomir Kecmanovic

Tristan Schoolkate

Win Match

50 WIN

+300

Back it

Schoolkate might be able to take this one. He's had a solid start to the season, including a Challenger final, so he might be able to win one or two matches up a level. Kecmanovi? hasn't had a very consistent start to the season.
1st March 2026
19:00 Welsh Open 2026

Mark Selby

50 WIN

+500

Back it

I think one of Selby or Xintong will win the Welsh Open. They both seem to be slightly ahead of the rest of the pack heading into the critical tournaments just before the World Championship starts after Easter.

Zhao Xintong

25 EW

+450

Back it

Zhao is proving to be a really formidable threat at the moment. With the Worlds around the corner, he'll be keen to keep his great form going. It's either Selby or Zhao to win this for me.
