23:30 The Genesis Invitational
Denny McCarthy
25 EW
@101.00
Open
0
One player showing good current form is Denny McCarthy, who finished T-16 at last week's Phoenix Open. He also finished T-16 at the Sony Open in Hawaii last month. In Phoenix last week, the American followed a mediocre first round 72 with 64-68 and 69. Yet to win on the PGA Tour, I'll take McCarthy to finish top 7 at the Genesis Invitational in San Diego this week!
Rasmus Hojgaard
25 EW
@36.00
Open
0
Rasmus Hojgaard was in strong contention at last week's Phoenix Open, holding second place after four holes of the final round, but fell at a few hurdles and eventually finished T-12. At 23, and with 5 DP World Tour wins, it won't take long until the Dane wins his first on the PGA Tour! Hojgaard top 7!
Justin Thomas
1st Round Leader
50 WIN
@26.00
Open
0
Justin Thomas looked very happy with his game at the Phoenix Open last week, shooting his best round on Sunday, which included holing his second at the final hole for a 65. With lots of players showing great form in Phoenix, there are many who could lead after day 1, but Thomas gets the vote to shine in the opening round!
Jordan Spieth
Top American
50 WIN
@23.00
Open
0
Jordan Spieth showed his confidence has returned at the Phoenix Open in Arizona last week. Rounds of 68-65-67 and 68 gave the American a top-five finish and a feeling the 13-time winner won't be taking long to add to his win tally. I reckon he'll go close (on current form) to winning the Genesis Invitational this week, so I'll take him to emerge top American!
16:30 Tottenham v Man Utd
Man Utd
50 WIN
@3.00
Open
0
Tottenham went through a period where they totally lost their form, losing to sides they would normally destroy. Their form has returned, but they face a Manchester United side who are slowly getting their act together. I'll take United to cause more grief for the Londoners!
14:00 Liverpool v Wolverhampton
Draw
50 WIN
@7.00
Open
0
Wolves had a change of fortune as they beat Aston Villa 2-0 at Molineux two weeks ago, lifting them out of the relegation zone, and also beat Blackburn Rovers 0-2 away in the FA Cup. If they play to a similar standard, they can earn a point at Anfield as Liverpool are stuttering towards the title with three draws in their last six games!
13:00 Mark Selby v Stephen Maguire
Mark Selby to win 9-7
Frame Betting
50 WIN
@7.50
Void
0
Mark Selby has played like a winner all through the tournament while opponent Stephen Maguire has found his form again after a long period. I feel Selby will win as Scotland's Maguire is in his first final in years. I'll take Selby to win 9-7.
12:15 LIV Golf Invitational Adelaide
Jon Rahm
50 WIN
@6.50
Open
0
Have to side with Jon Rahm to win the LIV tournament in Adelaide this week. The Spanish star shot three rounds of 67 last week in Riyadh, which gave him a runner-up spot just two shots behind winner Adrian Meronk, who opened the tournament with a -10 and was never headed. Rahm, on current form, should go close!

Frame Betting
50 WIN
@6.50
Lose
-50
While it's good to see Stephen Maguire back to playing great snooker, I doubt he'll beat Ali Carter in this S/F. The Englishman has been very impressive in his wins over Thor, Vafaei, Day and O'Connor. Scotland's Stephen Maguire included Mark Williams and Jack Lisowski among his victims and could trouble Carter, but I feel Carter is showing the best form of all in Wales this week, and I predict he'll progress to the final with a 6-3 win.
17:30 Crystal Palace v Everton
Draw
50 WIN
@3.40
Lose
-50
Crystal Palace have certainly upped their game. Having been fighting relegation earlier in the season, they now occupy 12th spot thanks to solid play like winning four, drawing one, and losing one of their last six games. Everton sit 15th, but they too had to up their game as three wins and a draw in their last four have them further away from the RZ. I fancy the draw here!

-50
Gavin Cromwell's Invictus Machin was an excellent winner of a 14-runner handicap over an extended 25F at Kilbeggan back in August. While following up with an 8th of 12 in a Navan three-miler in December, the 7-y-o looked in need of the run. At his current odds, I'll take Cromwell's charge to get a frame finish in this 20F handicap chase today!

15:00 Aston Villa v Ipswich
Aston Villa
50 WIN
@1.50
Lose
-50
Ipswich Town lost their last four games, conceding 14 goals, so it's hard to see them get anything at Villa Park this afternoon. Aston Villa are 21 points ahead of Ipswich, and while they lost at Wolves last game, I can't see them losing against Ipswich!
15:00 Fulham v Nottm Forest
Nottm Forest
50 WIN
@3.50

-50
I have to side with Nottingham Forest in this fixture as their season thus far has been excellent. Opponents Fulham are 11 points behind Forest and had an excellent away win at Newcastle last game, but preference here goes to Nottingham Forest to take the points!
15:00 Man City v Newcastle
Draw
50 WIN
@4.20

-50
I fancy the draw between Manchester City and Newcastle. The Magpies have lost two of their last three games, but they always seem to produce their best against top sides. Both sides are on 41 points with a win for either lifting them into 4th spot, but I can only see the points shared at the Etihad today!
15:00 Southampton v Bournemouth
Bournemouth
50 WIN
@1.48
Win

Southampton beat Ipswich Town to chalk up their first win of the season, but then lost at home to Burnley in the FA Cup. Bournemouth lost to Liverpool last game, but last week's win at Everton in the FA Cup should have them in a confident mood for their trip to St Marys! Away win!
15:00 West Ham v Brentford
Draw
50 WIN
@3.60
Lose
-50
Neither West Ham nor Brentford have played well in recent games, with the Hammers earning just four points from their last six games, while Brentford are slightly better with seven. So, money's on the draw at the London Stadium.

In an open race, was well supported when winning a 17-runner handicap over an extended 19F at Punchestown 19 days ago. The nature of that success suggests there's much more to come from this Gavin Cromwell-trained 6-y-o.

It's hard to oppose Marche Daligre in this 2M juvenile hurdle after his exploits in two hurdles events saw him win on debut over 2M at Wetherby in November, beating 12 rivals, and followed up with a runner-up spot in the nine-runner Coral Finale Juvenile Hurdle a month later, both under Gavin Sheehan. With further improvement expected, the Jamie Snowdon-trained 4-y-o will likely be the one to beat under Sheehan!

A chance is taken on Nicky Henderson's Bective Abbey, who impressed on the last outing with success in a 14-runner maiden hurdle over 19F at Warwick back in April 2024. The 7-year-old tackles an extended 23F at Ascot today and can make a bold showing if ready to roll after the break!

Luca Brecel

Mark Selby had to work hard to secure a semi-final place, winning a hard-fought match against John Higgins by a deciding frame. Luca Brecel has looked back to his best after easing into the last four with a facile 5-2 win over Jackson Page. The 2023 World Champion likes a fast-flowing game. He won't get that from Selby, but I still think the Belgian (on current form) will reach the final!

The Olly Murphy trained Kilbarry Hill has shown eye-catching consistency with three consecutive wins and a runner-up spot to rival today Uncle Bert over a similar distance at this course last month. Murphy's 7-y-o is handily weighted here and gets the vote to shine brightest in this Handicap Hurdle.
12:30 Leicester v Arsenal
Arsenal

@1.30

Leicester City are in big trouble and, on current form, likely to be playing Championship football next season. Second in the table, Arsenal still have a chance of toppling leaders Liverpool, but they must keep winning. I don't think having home advantage will benefit Leicester here!

Brighton meet Chelsea for a second time in a week, having beaten them 2-1 in the FA Cup six days ago. That fixture was a very close affair, with the Seagulls a tad lucky to get the win. I think we'll see a different outcome, with Chelsea taking the points on this occasion!

Cork City and Galway United meet at Turners Cross in what should be a close game. Galway United start as favourites here, but I reckon a draw could be on the cards in Cork this evening!

I can't see Drogheda United getting anything from home side St Patricks Athletic. The Inchicore side finished 3rd in the league last season 25 points ahead of Drogheda. Home win for me!

Joe O'Connor has played brilliant snooker at the Welsh Open this week, highlighted by his superb 4-3 win over world champion Kyren Wilson. He faces Ali Carter, who is also showing excellent form, reaching the Q/F thanks to wins over Vafaei and Day. I expect a close encounter with O'Connor making the semi-final!
19:00 Jack Lisowski v Stephen Maguire
Stephen Maguire
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.37
Win
69
After a long spell waiting for his form to return, Stephen Maguire found it in Wales this week. 4-2 wins over Xu Si, Mark Williams and Sanderson Lam show the Scot is happy with his current form, and it's showing. His opponent Jack Lisowski included wins over Wakelin and Selt, but with the form Maguire is displaying, I'm opting for the Scot to make the S/F.
14:00 Jackson Page v Luca Brecel
Luca Brecel
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.50
Win
25
I'm expecting a close game as both Jackson Page and Luca Brecel are playing at the top of their game. Solid wins over Jimmy Robertson, Ishpreet Singh Chadha, and Tom Ford have Welshman Jackson Page at the Q/F stage, while his opponent Luca Brecel beat Carrington, Saengkham, and Junxu. 2023 World Champion Brecel has much more experience than 23-y-o Page, and I reckon that experience will have him progressing to the S/F.
Luca Brecel -1.50

Having chosen Luca Brecel to beat Jackson Page by a 5-3 scoreline, this handicap bet is a no-brainer. Both players have shown great form at the Welsh Open, but I fancy the Belgian former world champion to have too much skill for the young Welshman! Luca Brecel -1.50.

I expect Luca Brecel to win the match against Jackson Page. The Belgian has looked unbeatable at the Welsh Open this week. While his opponent, Jackson Page, is an up-and-coming player with a brilliant all-round game and plenty of home support, I'm predicting a 5-3 victory in favor of the 2023 world champion.

In an open contest, preference goes to Richard Fahey's Hartswood, who beat 11 rivals in a Newcastle 1-mile handicap last month. If holding that form, the 8-year-old may have the goods to win again at Sandown.

@1.40

It's hard not to select Luke Humphries to beat Chris Dobey after his demolition of him a week ago. A 6-1 hammering will have Dobey looking for revenge, but I expect the former world champion to again prove too strong for 'Hollywood'.
20:15 Nathan Aspinall vs Gerwyn Price
Gerwyn Price
Win Match 2-way

Going into this match, Gerwyn Price has the better form as his opponent has lost recent matches to players he should be beating. Welshman Price is as tough as they come and a hard man to beat, so money's on the "Iceman" to prove too strong for Aspinall!
20:00 Matthew Selt v Jack Lisowski
Jack Lisowski

25
Jack Lisowski eased into the last 16 with the loss of only one frame and gets the vote to prove too strong for Matthew Selt, who had to work hard to get past Jamie Clarke. Matt Selt is a tough opponent when on top form, but with Lisowski showing great form this week, he gets the vote to progress to the quarters!

It's great to see Luca Brecel playing close to his best again after a season where he wasn't practicing and the results showed. Now back on track in the practice room, his results are looking much more positive. Pang Junxu is a tough opponent, but, I can't see him getting past the 2023 world champion.

Joe O'Connor played brilliant snooker to beat world champion Kyren Wilson 4-3 in the last round. His opponent Matthew Stevens also needed a deciding frame to beat Dave Gilbert 4-3. O'Connor is a much improved player, while Stevens has seen and done it all, but his opponent is a hungrier player. O'Connor for me!

@1.40

It's been a while, but Stephen Maguire is back playing some of his best snooker. His wins over Xu Si and Mark Williams show the Scot (on current form) is a realistic contender in Wales this week. His opponent Sanderson Lam has had surprising wins over Barry Hawkins and Wu Yize, so we're in for an interesting match. I'm taking Maguire to win as his game is strong again!

Young Welsh prodigy Jackson Page showed he's a man in form having dispatched Jimmy Robertson and Ishpreet Singh Chadha in the opening two rounds.

Noppon Saengkham had a fine 4-1 win over Welsh amateur Dylan Emery, ending the match with a 117 break. 2023 World Champion Luca Brecel has found his form again after plenty of practice, and it's certainly showing with positive recent results. I'm predicting a 4-2 in favor of the Belgian!

Hossein Vafaei played well in his first-round defeat of Fan Zhengyi, while Ali Carter beat Rory Thor 4-0. This should be a close match with preference going to Carter, whose experience should see him progress!

Chris Wakelin is a much improved player who currently holds a top 16 place. He had a close first round win over Michael Holt and faces Jack Lisowski who was too good for Joshua Cooper winning 4-0 and included two centuries. On that form, I have to stick with Lisowski!

World champion Kyren Wilson has become one of the most difficult players to play against as his all-round game is so strong. Joe O'Connor had an impressive 4-0 win over Lyu Hoatian, but will need to be at his best to beat Wilson. I'm predicting a 4-2 win in favor of the world champion!

Matthew Selt is a recent winner of a Championship League event and should have the game to beat Jamie Clarke. Selt beat Ricky Walden 4-0 in the opening round while his second round opponent Jamie Clarke had a walk-over. Selt for me!

Luca Brecel has his form back after putting the practice in, and the results are showing with a Q/F place at the Scottish Open and making the final of the Snooker Championship in December. Stuart Carrington is a solid player, and while I think he'll win frames against the 2023 world champion, I'm predicting a 4-2 scoreline in favor of the Belgian!
