16:12 4:12 Musselburgh
The Kalonji Man
Daily Racing
40 EW
THE KALJONI MAN was not unsupported on debut in last week's Brocklesbury. He only beat one horse home. He fluffed the start and was as green as anything. That was a deeper race than this, and if the reports from the stable are right, better was expected. He put that experience to good use today against a field lacking any experience.
16:45 4:45 Musselburgh
Zarzyni
Daily Racing
39 EW
Zarzyni is a hostage to fortune with his running style, but he bids to follow up last year's win in this race when 7/2 favourite. He's actually two pounds lower than last year. Very good claimer booked in William Pyle, who claims three. The run in February??"first in four months??"should have put him spot on for this. It looked a sighter for this race (never put into the contest). At 14/1 he's ten points bigger than I envisaged.
17:15 Chelsea v Port Vale
Port Vale 3.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
For all their poor form currently, Chelsea should win this. But giving up 3.5 goals is a big ask, I feel. I expect Vale to set up on the counterattack. I can see them edging this on the AH.
20:00 Southampton v Arsenal
Southampton 1.50
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
The Saints are one of the in-form sides in the top two divisions recently, unbeaten in their last 14. They meet an Arsenal side who are having a wobble in the Premier League. Arsenal's recent away form in all competitions has been poor. They were abysmal in the League Cup final. They have a number of injuries and the distraction of a Champions League quarter-final midweek. The Saints should win, but they struggled against Mansfield in the previous round ??" a two-goal start in places. Taking the Saints win on the Asian Handicap in 90 minutes.

21:00 Deontay Wilder v Derek Chisora
Deontay Wilder
Win Fight
50 WIN
The 50/50 fight is being called. It could well go either way. Wilder has not looked the same since the Fury fights. But he has the power and technical skill to beat Chisora. I envisaged the market would be a lot closer in terms of price. At 6/4, the value I feel lies with the American.
23:00 Dione Barbosa v Melissa Gatto
Melissa Gatto
Win Fight
50 WIN
5th April 2026
14:00 Livingston v Hearts
Hearts
50 WIN
As we get to the business end, the Jam Tarts are still leading the table. Though if they are to win, they need to keep 11 players on the pitch. Disciplinary record is poor. That said, they meet Livingston, a side rock bottom, and have not won a game since August of last year. It won't be pretty, but they can edge this by the odd goal. They come into this in good form ??" three wins from four.
16:30 West Ham v Leeds
West Ham 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
I'm on The Hammers at huge odds hoping they progress. They are in decent form of late, losing just 3 times in 13 matches in all competitions. Unbeaten in their last 6 matches at home. Leeds have mostly been inconsistent of late, both home and away, and could well be in for a struggle again.
20:55 Valero Texas Open
Brian Harman
1st Round Leader
25 EW
Defending champion Brian Harman has been underwhelming this year so far. But his game will be suited by the conditions, and he set the clubhouse lead on his way to winning this last year. He comes in here fresh after a 3-week break since finishing 11th in The Players. At 50/1, he could be a spot of value.
Johnny Keefer
1st Round Leader
25 EW
At a price, it might be worth adding Johnny Keefer to your portfolio for this event. This is his local course. He has the ability to score low. His third in Houston last weekend was a welcome return to form.
Jordan Spieth
1st Round Leader
25 EW
Is a course winner, although winless in over three years. There have been hints in recent weeks that he is both fit and mentally in a good place. At 28/1 I cannot resist a 0.5 point each-way in this first-round leader market, with a few big names missing.
22:45 Valero Texas Open
Jordan Spieth
25 EW
This is not the deepest of fields with number oc big names keeping their powder dry for the first major next week. We've put up JORDAN SPIETH before and his game physically and mentally looks to be coming together nicely. He has some decent course form in the Texan Open including a win 3 top 15 finishes in 7 starts. Last 4 tournaments have produced following finishes 12/11/32/11. He's a couple of points bigger on the exchanges and with Bet 365
Ludvig Aberg
40 EW
Several big names are taking a bye week with the first major the following week. Ludvig Aberg has hinted in recent weeks that his game is coming together nicely following injury and illness. I'd be quite surprised if he were not involved come Sunday.
Ryo Hisatsune
25 EW
The accuracy of the man from Japan, Ryo Hisatsune, should suit this course. He's been ticking over in recent weeks and could well do better than last year's tied 5th.
Sudarshan Yellamaraju
25 EW
The young Canadian Sudarshan Yellamaraju has only contested five tournaments. Three tournaments in five weeks produced 17th, 5th, and 6th place finishes. Still rough around the edges, he might well figure high up on the leaderboard come Sunday. He's one I have been told to watch. 45/1, six places up for grabs might ruffle a few feathers.
Ludvig Aberg
Top European
37 EW
For the reasons outlined in the outright pick: if Ludvig Åberg backs up his recent 3rd and 5th finishes following a two-week hiatus, he will be tough to beat.
Tommy Fleetwood
Top European
50 WIN
In such a weak field, several big European names are missing with Augusta next week. This represents a big opportunity for Ryder Cup players Ludvig and Tommy. Tommy's game is well suited to this course. His overall game looks in a good place at present.
6th April 2026
11:00 Durham vs Kent County Championship
Durham
Draw No Bet
219 WIN
Early doors in the new season, and I'm expecting good things from Durham. The weather looks set fair for the four days. Their strength in depth in bowling and batting is superior to Kent, who have a number of injuries and have to start this season with an 8-point deficit. Quite frankly, I think they will struggle big time this season. Durham had a decent pre-season; batters look in great nick.
2nd May 2026
00:00 England League 1 2025/26
Luton
25 EW
Luton are looking to bounce immediately back to The Championship following relegation last season. With no Wrexham or Birmingham, they look a decent bet. Recruited well pre-season and 7/2 looks a good price. Staking on this market and Promotion market.
Luton
To be Promoted
50 WIN
I envisaged The Hatters to be around 1/2 to gain an automatic return to the Championship and was speechless when I saw odds against a month ago. I expect them to go up as Champions. This price looks a steal. Blues did us a massive turn at 3/1 last term, and Luton look in a similar mold. Off the field, business to enhance the squad looks positive. I really feel they will run away with this league.
15:00 England League 1 2025/26
Niall Ennis
Top Goalscorer
25 EW
Niall Ennis should make hay in this league. He was sent on loan last term, scoring 7 in 19 following a loan move in January from Stoke, and has now signed a permanent contract in the summer. I can see The Tangerines having a decent season with Niall's help.
3rd May 2026
21:00 Miami Grand Prix
George Russell
Win Race
50 WIN
George finished off the podium in Japan but had issues with his car in qualifying and a bug in the software causing a "superclip". This meant GR was driving with one hand tied behind his back before the green light. Toto Wolff said, "We didn't do a great job in George's race," yet, testament to his skill, he finished fourth. SC timing didn't help. Kimi is a huge young talent, but he made a mistake in China and in Japan got away with both. With new engines, his inexperience compared to his fellow drivers is to be expected. Over the season, Russell's quality and experience shine through. If glitches are resolved, expect him to start much shorter come May 3rd.
Oscar Piastri
Win Race
25 EW
With five weeks due to world events between Japan and Miami, we should see a lot of testing that brings teams closer. Mercedes are well ahead of the curve, but there were signs Oscar's garage is closing the gap. Certainly, but for the safety car he may have won in Suzuka. Five weeks out, a lot can happen, but with three places up for grabs and 10/1, I think it looks decent value. There is ample time to get to grips and tweak a few things. I expect teams to finish a lot closer than what we've seen to date.
George Russell - Yes
Podium Finish
50 WIN
George Russell's team will want to get back on track after the mess of Suzuka, where everything that could go wrong certainly did ??" in qualifying and during the race. I fully expect Toto and his team to iron out the super-bug issues. It would be a major shock if he were off the podium. The Mercedes are some way ahead of the grid in terms of car and performance currently. Unless the opposition find a chunk of time during this five-week hiatus, they should be 1 and 2 on the grid in Miami. I can only see this price shortening to around 1.07 if that's the case.
24th May 2026
18:10 England Premier League 2025/26
Liam Delap
Top Goalscorer
25 EW
Isak would be of interest were Liverpool to sign him, but 7/1 is skinny. With the Jota tragedy surely having an impact on Liverpool, United is in transition. Liam Delap at 40/1 could be a bit of value. He joined Chelsea and is an outstanding striker for his age. He will get better service and see more of the ball than he did at Ipswich Town. I can see him having an outstanding season for a young side who are growing in confidence. See him being the main penalty taker to boot. 40/1 is very good value as Haaland is too short as favorite, as is Salah getting 10/1 for a top 4 place.
28th May 2026
20:00 Premier League Darts 2026
Luke Humphries
51 WIN
Quite simply, Littler and Humphries are a class apart from the rest. Be known, purpose: see these two reach the final. That being the case, cannot see The Nuke's odds being far off 8/13 on offer now, and Humphries certainly wouldn't be 5/1.
12th July 2026
12:00 World Cup 2026
France
100 WIN
France not atheir best but still reached the final of 2022 event, I can only see this price getting shorter they have won and been runners up in the last 2 events and Mpappe if he avoids injury looks a future superstar on the world stage.
9th September 2026
11:00 County Championship Division 2 2026
Durham
Outright Winner
75 EW
Durham have strength in depth in their squad. I fully expect them to take this league by the scruff of its neck and bounce straight back up at the first time of asking following relegation last season. They have the depth to cope with injuries in a long season, unlike a few of these teams. I envisaged them being considerably shorter.
