Brooks Koepka
25 EW
@+4500
Lose
-50
Brooks Koepka returned to the PGA Tour last week at Torrey Pines, and he will have been pleased to make the cut. The American is a two-time winner at TPC Scottsdale and was third on his last appearance here. I fancy he won't be too far away at this week's Phoenix Open.
Daniel Berger
25 EW
@+7000
Lose
-50
6th to start the season at the Sony Open in Hawaii, and I fancy Daniel Berger is one to watch this week at TPC Scottsdale. Runner-up twelve months ago, the American has multiple other top-ten finishes here and was also 7th in 2017. I am siding with the tour winner having a big week back at the Phoenix Open.

25 EW
@+4000
Lose
-50
27th at the American Express and 22nd at the Farmers Insurance Open. The American doesn't look too far away from a big week to me. 17th on his last start at TPC Scottsdale.

Sepp Straka
25 EW
@+6600
Lose
-50
The Austrian has won on the West Coast before, and I fancy he probably needed that week in the American Express to gain a bit of tournament sharpness. Fifteenth twelve months ago at TPC Scottsdale, I am siding with Sepp Straka, flying under the radar this week at the Phoenix Open.
22:30 WM Phoenix Open
Matti Schmid
Top European
25 EW

Over the last twelve months the German has shown he can go low in events and really challenge on the PGA Tour. Sixth in Puerto Rico, ninth at the Corales Puntacana, seventh at Myrtle Beach and runner-up in the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas, Schmid was eighth five starts ago at the World Wide Technology Championship. I am siding with him to have a good run this time around at TPC Scottsdale.

50 WIN
@+500
Lose
-50
The Dutchman will have a big job in the middle of the park, and I fancy he will be heavily involved for the Reds. Carded away to Bournemouth a fortnight ago for his fifth caution of the season, I am siding with Gravenberch accumulating the fouls here and ending up in the book.

12:45 Qatar Masters
Antoine Rozner
25 EW
@+5000
Lose
-50
The Frenchman was 10th three weeks ago at the Dubai Invitational, and I had him penciled in for this week at the Qatar Masters. Rozner won in Doha in 2021 and has finished 6th and 4th the last two years here. I am siding with him, putting together another good week on a course that really suits his game.
Jacob Skov Olesen
25 EW
@+6600
Win
305
47th last week in Bahrain, and the Scandinavian played better than his finish suggested. Jacob Skov Olesen has played well in the wind before and featured around Royal Portrush last summer. I fancy he will put a good week together at the Qatar Masters.
Martin Couvra
25 EW
@+3300

Shaun Murphy
25 EW

Subtotal-334

16:40 England v Wales
England -28.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@-109
Win
46
England have won the last three meetings with Wales. Last year in the Six Nations they went to the Principality Stadium and thrashed the Welsh 68-14 with a lethal display in the last fifteen minutes. November was a real confidence boost for England with Autumn Internationals wins against Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina. I fancy they make a statement on the opening weekend by putting Wales to the sword by more than 28 points.

15:01 Birmingham v Leicester
Birmingham
50 WIN
@-149
Win
34
Leicester City were given a points deduction earlier in the week, and they have lost three of four with just one win in six away from home. Birmingham beat league leaders Coventry at home last month, and I fancy the Blues to get the win over the Foxes.
15:01 Coventry v Oxford Utd
Coventry
50 WIN
@-227
Lose
-50
Coventry City can move three points clear of Middlesbrough, who don’t play until Monday night. They have won ten of their last eleven at home. Oxford were beaten midweek at Bramall Lane by Sheffield United, and Birmingham beat them last weekend to nil. I fancy Frank Lampard’s men will be too good this afternoon.
15:01 Harrogate Town v Cambridge Utd
Cambridge Utd
50 WIN
@-166
Lose
-50
Cambridge United are up to third in League Two with four wins on the bounce, and I fancy they will be too good for bottom-side Harrogate. Six straight defeats for the home side, who have one draw and nine defeats in their last ten. I am siding with Cambridge to make it four straight away wins.
15:01 Notts County v Barrow
Notts County
50 WIN
@-153
Win
32
Notts County have won five in a row and are now in the automatic promotion spots, sitting second behind Bromley in League Two. Barrow are fourth from bottom with five defeats in six. I fancy Notts County will be too good at home.
15:01 Stockport v Leyton Orient
Stockport
50 WIN
@-149
Lose
-50
Stockport County are now ten points clear of seventh, and their focus will be those automatic promotion spots currently occupied by Cardiff and Lincoln. They have won five of six and are bang in form. I fancy, with Leyton Orient losing their last three, this will be a home win.
15:00 Arsenal v Sunderland
Arsenal
50 WIN
@-333
Win
15
The Gunners scored late midweek to beat Chelsea at home to cement their place in the League Cup final. Last weekend they put four past Leeds United at Elland Road. Sunderland have lost four in a row away to Arsenal, and with Xhaka missing I am siding with a dominant display for Arsenal to pick up another three points.
15:00 Bournemouth v Aston Villa
Draw
50 WIN
@+275
Win
138
Bournemouth have won three of four in the league since Semenyo’s final game for the Cherries, and both Spurs and Liverpool were beaten at the Vitality Stadium. Villa have won three in a row away, and I fancy that, with two draws in the last five meetings, this ends in a score draw.
15:00 Burnley v West Ham
Draw
50 WIN
@+259
Lose
-50
The Hammers have won two of their last three, and they should have really made that three in a row after letting a two-goal lead slip at Stamford Bridge. This is a massive game for Burnley, who simply have to win. With West Ham United putting in some good performances away, I am siding with the hosts being unable to convert this into three points. A share of the points is the play.
15:00 Fulham v Everton
Draw
50 WIN
@+240
Lose
-50
Everton beat Fulham home and away in 2025, and I fancy they will get something from this afternoon's game at Craven Cottage. Two wins and two draws in four away for the Toffees, and with Fulham having four wins and a draw in five at home, I am siding with a share of the spoils here.
14:10 Italy v Scotland
Scotland
To Win
50 WIN
@-333
Lose
-50
The Scots have won their last five opening matches in the Six Nations, and you have to go back to 2013 for the Italians' last opening-weekend victory. Scotland beat Italy twelve months ago, and I fancy they will get the win at the Stadio Olimpico this afternoon.
Scotland -8.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@+100
Lose
-50
Scotland could really set themselves up for a big Six Nations with an opening weekend win at the Stadio Olimpico. The Scots have both England and France to come at home. With Glasgow playing so well, I fancy that momentum will transfer to Scotland, and they will be too hot to handle for the Italians. The away win on the handicap is the play.

Scotland have won their opening fixture in the last five stagings of the Six Nations, and I fancy they will beat Italy in Rome this afternoon. 31??"19 last year in Edinburgh and 31??"29 the campaign before. I am siding with fifty-plus points again at the Stadio Olimpico.
12:40 12:40 Warwick
Limerick Star
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+750
Lose
-50
Limerick Star caught the eye on debut last month, finishing third in a maiden hurdle at Exeter. I fancy we will see an improvement this afternoon at Warwick. Jack Stenhouse has a claimer, and I am siding with Limerick Star to upset the odds on the favourite.
12:30 Man Utd v Tottenham
Man Utd
57 WIN
@-153
Win
37
Tottenham Hotspur were really poor in the first half last weekend, and although they got a point in the error, I worry for them away to United at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have won three in a row, and I fancy, with Spurs failing to beat either Burnley or Bournemouth in their last two away league games, that I am siding with United. They will play high-tempo football to pick up another three points and continue the march up the table.
Diogo Dalot
Player to be Booked
50 WIN
@+450
Lose
-50
Booked at home to Manchester City, and I fancy the Portuguese defender will be tested again against Spurs. Xavi Simons will attack the United man, and I am siding with Diogo Dalot ending up in the referee's notebook.
Joao Palhinha
Player to be Booked
50 WIN
@+187
Win
94
Two bookings in the last three games for the Spurs man, and he has five this season in the league. Casemiro and Fernandes will look to control the game, with Mainoo distributing. I am siding with Palhinha picking up a yellow for an accumulation of fouls in this early kick-off.

20:00 Leeds v Nottm Forest
Draw
50 WIN
@+240
Lose
-50
Six points clear of West Ham United in the two places above the relegation zone, and I fancy a point apiece here. It won’t be a big result for either side. Leeds United have only lost once in six at Elland Road, and after Forest won 2-0 at Brentford, I am siding with a share of the spoils tonight.
05:00 Si Jiahui v Xiao Guodong
Xiao Guodong
Win Match
56 WIN
@-149
Win
38
Xiao Guodong has beaten Kyren Wilson and Ronnie O’Sullivan in the last two rounds, and I fancy he will win this all-Chinese affair with Si Jiahui. Guodong has won three of the five meetings over the last two seasons, and I am siding with the world number ten edging this.
Xiao Guodong to win 5-3
Frame Betting
50 WIN
@+450

-50
Guodong has beaten Si Jiahui in three of the last five meetings, and one of them was a 5-4 in last year's German Masters. Xiao has knocked out Kyren Wilson 5-2 and Ronnie O’Sullivan 5-3. I fancy he will be a couple of frames too good for his fellow countryman. 5-3 Guodong is the play.
05:00 Wu Yize v Zhang Anda
Wu Yize
Win Match

@-181
Lose

Wu Yize has won all three head-to-head meetings with Zhang Anda, and I fancy he wins this all-Chinese affair. Yize has looked good in beating Bingyu and McGill in the last two rounds, and I am siding with him to have too much for "The Panda" over the best of nine.

Wu Yize impressed at The Masters, beating Shaun Murphy in the first round. He has looked good this week in Hong Kong too. He beat both Chang Bingyu and Anthony McGill 5-3 in the first two rounds. With all three head-to-heads going his way against Zhang Anda, I am siding with Wu Yize to win this by a couple of frames, another 5-3.

France
To Win
65 WIN
@-588
Win
11
The French won the Six Nations twelve months ago. On their route to the title they were too good for Ireland, beating them by fifteen in Dublin. I fancy the French are a level above the Irish at this moment in time, and that will show tonight. France to open their defence with a home win is the play.
France -6.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@-109
Win
46
France beat Ireland in Dublin by fifteen points in last year's Six Nations Championship, and it was an excellent second-half display, scoring 34 points at the Aviva. The French are the defending champions, and I fancy they will want to open with a statement win against the Irish at the Stade de France.

The last four years in the Six Nations, there have been fifty-one points or more between France and Ireland. I fancy tonight's opener will be another end-to-end encounter between two sides who are very much attack-minded.

Jonny Clayton
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@+125
Win
62
The Welshman won the last head-to-head meeting with Josh Rock 6-2 last year in Germany on the European Tour, and I fancy him to beat the Premier League newcomer. Clayton is definitely in better form, and I am siding with "The Ferret" to open up with a win on night one in Newcastle.
Jonny Clayton 1.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@-136
Win
37
Jonny Clayton has been in better form over the last month or two, and I fancy him to be a big price tonight to beat Josh Rock. The last head-to-head was a 6-2 win for the Welshman, and I am siding with him to take at least five legs in this opener on night one.
Jonny Clayton
Most 180s
50 WIN
@+179
Win
90
Jonny Clayton beat Josh Rock 6-2 when they last met. It was the only head-to-head last year, over in Germany on the European Tour. The Welshman threw the most maximums that day, and I fancy the famous finger-point will be on show as Clayton outscores Rocky.
Over 6.50
Total 180s
50 WIN
@+104

Clayton and Rock shared eight maximums in their only meeting last year. I fancy this Premier League opener is set up for high scoring, given both like to play at a fast pace. I am siding with over six maximums over ten or eleven legs in this one.

50 WIN
@-109

Josh Rock makes his Premier League debut tonight, and I fancy this is probably the perfect match to start with. The Northern Irishman has won three of four against Clayton. They both like to play fast and have had some close encounters before. I am siding with over nine legs and this finishing 6-4 or 6-5.
