17:30 Tottenham v Brighton

Brighton

Tottenham are awful, rubbish at home. Brighton are playing decently at the moment and are safe in mid-division in 9th place. Away win.

Was probably left too much to do when running on to fourth place at Cheltenham. An extended trip will definitely suit. Will definitely be in the shake-up.

Another Skelton contestant has a big chance. Won at Bangor in February and is enjoying racing in handicap company. Will be a banker bet on a lot of betting slips today.

From the all-conquering Skelton yard. Loves to bowl along in front and can run the legs off the opposition. May well be top weight but is the class horse.

Will be the one to beat here. Probably a popular choice and will be on many betting slips because of this. Three-time runner over hurdles with steady progression from each. Won over two miles in February at Market Rasen.

Must have a massive chance. Ran recently ??" I think nine days ago ??" when tiring in the closing stages. That run would have sharpened Sans Bruit right up.
12:30 Brentford v Fulham

Draw

7th versus 12th, but only three points separate them. A London derby which will be a share of the points. It will be a tough game for Fulham, but if they can get through the first 10 to 15 minutes in both halves, I feel they will come away with a point.
12:30 Derby v Oxford Utd

Derby

Oxford United for me are doomed. Derby are on the fringes of the playoffs and will not throw away this opportunity for three valuable points.
12:30 Millwall v QPR

Millwall

The Den will be a hard place for QPR to get something from. Millwall need an unbeaten run to have any chance for automatic promotion, with only one spot available after CCFC deservedly went up. Home win for me.

Patrick Reed

-500

Patrick Reed is a former champion, so has the pedigree to win, having done it before. He recently left LIV, realising that tour was not doing his career any favours. He immediately won on the DP World Tour, so I feel he is a decent choice where there are no obvious players in form.

Justin Rose

Top European

Experience counts for a lot, and Justin Rose has three near misses. He's still hungry and can still mix it up with the so-called best, with a win already on the PGA Tour.

Reed is an Augusta champion, so has the pedigree. There is no outstanding player who is in form, so Patrick Reed is a decent choice and not out of form either, having won in the Middle East.

Arguably his record puts him up with the best not to win. Three seconds, I believe. With his recent win on the PGA Tour, he is set up for another big effort in 2026.
16:30 Chelsea v Man City

Chelsea

I've got a sneaky feeling this might be Chelsea day. At home they can get under the skin of plenty, especially those teams who think they are better than everyone else. Stamford Bridge is a tough nut to crack.
14:00 Crystal Palace v Newcastle

Draw

I like the draw here. Both teams look a bit jaded, and I feel a share of the spoils is an obvious decision. Neither is performing at their peak.
14:00 Sunderland v Tottenham

Sunderland

Tottenham are rocking. Relegation is a very big possibility regardless of having a new manager. Sunderland winning at St. James' Park shows how gritty Sunderland are. Are Spurs better than Newcastle? Absolutely not.

Sunderland and Spurs have not been in great form. Defending will be staying a premium, and I think that, being at the Stadium of Light, Spurs will be struggling to keep them out for 90 minutes.

Special John is my choice and Nap in this race, where there are just two to beat. A change from hurdles to fences has done the trick, winning twice through the autumn and also at Wincanton.
12:00 Birmingham v Wrexham

Yes (BTTS)

Both Teams to Score

Whenever Wrexham play there are goals. Birmingham are in a losing rut, but importantly they are the home team so will get lots of encouragement from the crowd. Wrexham need a result as they push for the playoffs.

An impressive start to the campaign with four wins and one loss. Average points per game is a decent total of 27 points. Also, historic stats point out they have a great record of seven wins from eight over the Tigers. Take the handicap.

@-105

Win

475

The Eels are a better team, but they have big trouble with significant injuries to both defenders and attacking players. A few of these are season-ending injuries. The Titans are taken as the choice because, although in my opinion they are an inferior team to the Eels, they are more than capable of taking advantage of the issues.

Bass Hunter

A front-runner who looked very good at Cheltenham. If they let him have too much, he will steam through and win this. Won at Ascot, so sets a high bar.

Back-to-back Cheltenham success demonstrates this one's strengths. Definitely in with a shout, so represents sound each-way hopes. the yard is one that all must respect so Each way will be a decent bet
15:00 Chesterfield v Tranmere

Chesterfield

Tranmere are in an awful run, losing fifteen from seventeen. Chesterfield is probably not the team to be playing, winning four out of their last five.
15:00 Southampton v Derby

Southampton

Derby are a tough team, but Southampton are on fire. I think home advantage as well; they will be pushing for automatic promotion.

Third to The Jukebox Man in previous race, from the Skelton team, so one with obvious chances. The extra distance is not an issue, going by previous races earlier in his career.

Ran at the festival and who knows what could have happened. A bad mistake at the final obstacle cost him his chance and he finished in sixth place. Previous to that, had back-to-back wins from a great stable, Skelton yard.

A winner over course and distance. Although well beaten against top opposition at Cheltenham, a return to the same standard as previously should result in a win.

Salvator Mundi

Daily Racing

A winner at Aintree 12 months ago. Looks like a deliberate move to avoid Cheltenham for this, so probably a wise move. The Townend??"Mullins combination is hard to oppose.
12:30 Arsenal v Bournemouth

Arsenal

Arsenal got an amazing result in Lisbon. A late goal would have lifted everyone's spirits, and they will want to carry the momentum to Manchester City. Arsenal are back on it after a few blips.
12:30 Coventry v Sheff Wed

Coventry

Coventry are on the cusp of their greatest day since 1987. Sheffield Wednesday are not going to enjoy this one. Lampard's team are on the verge of the Premier League.

Melbourne have lost three straight matches, but when on that sort of run you want to play a team that you have an awesome record against. The Warriors have lost seventeen straight matches. Storm to bounce back and stop the rot.

In what will probably be a high-scoring affair due to both teams lacking defensive strength, K.L. Iro is a star player for the hosts, who boast a decent home record. The Roosters do not have a good record at Cronulla.

Blues have a decent record on the Canes. This is first versus second. The Blues have been slightly more patchy with their performances, whereas in Wellington the Hurricanes have been banging in the points all season. At home they seem a difficult team to topple.

The change of stable to the Skelton team has worked impressively. Won with some eye-catching jumping at Cheltenham. Although a raise in the weights, he makes up for it in class.

Having a brilliant season so far. Has won three out of the four races to date. Deserves to be favourite as performances do warrant the odds. Will be hard to beat if able to reproduce the class he has shown.

Two excellent teams. Both are unbeaten to date. Opening partnerships are so important. Kohli and Salt for RCB are awesome, and with Tim David to follow, I'm expecting a slightly stronger performance from the visitors.
