In the last four runnings of this race, two seven-year-olds have been successful. Two of the last seven runnings of this race have been won by a horse trained by Willie Mullins. My selection, Cest Ta Chance, is a seven-year-old horse trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by Danny Mullins. Providing Cest Ta Chance stays this distance, then, having won his last two races, he should go well. He has raced four times over the larger obstacles and has appeared to improve with each outing. He won a beginning chase at Gowran and then followed that up with a win in a Novice Chase from an eight-pound higher mark. Both those races were considerably shorter than the distance he races over today. He races off a two-pound higher mark. Over the years we have seen a number of times when Willie Mullins has a number of runners in the race that Danny Mullins has been successful. Hopefully today will be another one of those days.

Juventus are in fifth place and seeking to get into the top four for an automatic spot in next season's Champions League. The last three times they have welcomed Genoa they have won three and drawn once. They are nine places above Genoa in the table.

Swansea lost their last home game to Coventry. Now they welcome Middlesbrough, who have slipped to third in the table. Middlesbrough have taken seven points from their last three away games and have won two of their last three visits to Swansea.

Providing Gambet does not give too much ground away at the start. He could well have enough speed to pass his rivals based on last month's winning time.

With the national team failing to qualify for a third successive World Cup, it will be interesting to see if these players have gotten over another footballing disappointment for their national team. When it comes to league positions, both teams have played thirty games. Inter Milan are second, one place and one point above Napoli, who are third. Napoli have taken thirteen points from their last five home games, while Inter Milan have taken ten points from their last five away games. Inter Milan's last away game saw them lose at Lazio. Napoli won this fixture last season, and I'm backing them to do so again.

The last seven meetings between these two teams have all been won by the CLE Cavaliers. The MEM Grizzlies have lost six of their last seven home games, while the CLE Cavaliers have won six of their last seven away games.

Tommy Fleetwood has a best finish of tied third, which was in 2024. He has shown he can play this course, having completed a round in 66. This will be his tenth appearance at the Masters, so with his knowledge of the course and experience, Tommy Fleetwood could once again be in contention come Sunday evening.

Last year Justin Rose made a blistering start to the Masters with eight birdies and one bogey for a 65, which was seven under par. If he can do the same today without any dropped shots, then he has every chance of being the first-round leader.

A win for West Ham against bottom-of-the-table Wolves would see them move out of the relegation zone, to be replaced by Tottenham. West Ham have a good record when playing Wolves at home. They have won the last five meetings, with Wolves failing to find the back of the net in four of those games. The last four Premier League home games played by West Ham have resulted in one win and three draws. Holding Manchester City to a draw in their last home game would appear to give West Ham a decent chance of gaining a valuable three points with a win against Wolves.

Arsenal appear to be closing in on the Premiership title. They have seven remaining games and are nine points clear of Manchester City, who have a game in hand and an inferior goal difference. Winning six more matches would mean Arsenal would be crowned champions even if Man City win all their remaining games. Bournemouth are down in thirteenth place and have drawn their last five games. Arsenal have won their last three home Premiership games, scoring seven goals and only conceding once. Bournemouth's last away defeat in the Premiership was towards the end of last year. Having learned from the previous season, Arsenal appear a stronger side, so there is every chance they can get the win and keep their Premiership ambitions firmly on course.

Both teams have played thirty-one games and have forty-six points, which is three points off fifth place. Brentford have taken just two points from their last four home games. The two teams that Brentford lost to in this period are both below Everton in the table. Everton have taken seven points from their last four away games. Their one defeat was against the top of the table, Arsenal.

Burnley's performances may have been improving, but they are still not getting points on the board, and unless things change quickly they will be relegated. Brighton are on a decent run and have moved to within six points of a play-off spot. They have won their last two away games, which were at Sunderland and Brentford. Both of those teams are higher in the table than Burnley.

Both teams are in the bottom half of the table. Crystal Palace are three points behind Newcastle with a game in hand. Newcastle won their last away Premiership game at Chelsea, while Palace could only draw their last home league game, which was against Leeds. If Newcastle play as they can, there is every chance they will come home with all three points.

Despite their recent ups and downs, Aston Villa remain fourth in the Premiership and are still involved in the Europa League. Nottingham Forest won their last game, which was away at Tottenham. That win moved them out of the relegation zone. Twenty-two points separate these two teams in the Premiership, so I'm going with the higher-position team to get the win.

Liverpool are currently hanging on to fifth spot in the Premiership, just one point above Chelsea. Liverpool have stumbled a little of late at home, but it is doubtful, with the recent away form of Fulham, that they will be able to capitalise on this. The last three meetings between these two sides when Liverpool have been at home have resulted in one draw and two wins for Liverpool.

Before the international break, Sunderland won away at Newcastle, while Tottenham lost at home to Nottingham Forest. With Spurs looking in freefall, if Sunderland can build upon that Newcastle win, they have every chance to stop the run of three consecutive home defeats and get the win.

On three of their last four visits to Chelsea, Manchester City have come away with a win. Having beaten Arsenal in the final of the EFL Cup, City will be looking to get the win over another London club and keep up the pressure on top of the table.

In his seven US Matstes appearances, Harris English achieved his best finish when finishing tied in twelfth position last year thanks to his sixty-eight on the final round.He aslo finished second at the British Open. If he can improve on the level of play he showed last season, Harris English could be a live outsider.

Last year Justin Rose rolled back the years to finish runner-up to Rory McIlroy, losing in a play-off. Over three rounds he shot under par, with a 65 opening round and a 66 final round. Having finished runner-up three times, hopefully this year Justin Rose will get to put on the green jacket.

Matt Fitzpatrick appears to be one of the in-form players. He finished second in the Players Championship and then followed that up with a win. Both those tournaments were in March. If he stays in form, very possibly Matt Fitzpatrick could better his seventh-place position in 2026.

If Michael Carrick can keep Manchester United in the top four until the end of the season, then there is every chance he will be their next permanent manager. With seven games to play, they are third in the table and currently have a six-point cushion over the team in fifth spot. Leeds are only four points clear of the relegation zone, so they could also do with the points. Manchester United have won their last five home games, while Leeds have one defeat and four draws from their last five away Premier League games.
