Was a very easy winner of her only point-to-point in Ireland on heavy ground and was running a race full of promise on her hurdling debut in a very good race at Newbury.

50 WIN

@+270

Lose

-50

Both of these sides seem to have come out of a run of not-so-good results, and the last few games have shown they are both well capable of beating anyone in this league. A share of the points looks fair.

An exciting, goal-mouth, action-packed game could be the way to go here. Both are well capable of scoring but also conceding.

Draw #2-2

50 WIN

@+1050

-50

Norwich have finally hit some decent form of late and meet league leaders Coventry, who themselves seem to have come out of a lean patch. Both teams are well capable of scoring for fun at the moment, and plenty of goals could be on offer.

25 January 2026

16:30 Arsenal v Man Utd

Arsenal

50 WIN

@-161

Lose

-50

Arsenal are taken to continue their quest for Premiership glory with three points against what has been a mostly very disappointing United side.

14:00 Crystal Palace v Chelsea

Chelsea

50 WIN

@+120

Win

Chelsea are taken to take the three points on the road. Palace have lost what has probably been their best two players in the last transfer windows, and their manager has stated his choice to leave at the end of the season. Their centre forward looks likely to leave, too. Home side in minor turmoil. Away side to nick the points.

14:00 Newcastle v Aston Villa

Draw

50 WIN

Newcastle, with their wonderful home support, can share the points with the Midlanders, who are exceeding expectations this season. It may well be an entertaining game.

Newbrook Diamond brings some pretty tasty form into this race and can win at the main expense of the Willie Mullins-trained duo.

12:00 Portsmouth v Southampton

Southampton

50 WIN

@+120

-50

I'm backing the visitors to take the points at local derby rivals Pompey. Although the home side's fans will create a great atmosphere, I think Southampton will just have too much for them.

Heads Up

@+275

-50

A cracking race to finish Trials Day, and I think the top three in the market are the ones to concentrate on. Of the three, Heads Up is the only one to have done the trip so far, and that was at Cheltenham when he finished a good second to No Drama This End, so he is the selection.

Impose Toi can take another step to being a proper Stayers' Hurdle candidate with victory here. He can confirm superiority over Strong Leader, who doesn't enjoy Cheltenham's undulations.

This looks like a dour, battling clash here, but the home side are good on their own turf. Stoke are struggling to get results at the moment, with a string of injuries in the camp.

Stoke are struggling with goals, mostly due to the injury situation they have in attack. They may struggle to find the back of the net.

I think the home side have enough going forward to beat a side that are currently lacking offensively, so are reliant on defensive resilience.

15:00 Bristol City v Sheff Wed

Bristol City

50 WIN

@-333

Looks a pretty safe bet that the home side will see off poor Sheff Wed, who have only won one game this season and will struggle to keep Bristol City at bay.

15:00 Leicester v Oxford Utd

Leicester

Leicester's performances of late have been, on the whole, pretty poor and disappointing, but they may still have enough offensively to beat a struggling Oxford side.

15:00 Sheff Utd v Ipswich

Ipswich will be looking to continue their rise up the Championship table with a win against a Sheffield United side that have hit a stumbling block in their recent form.

Both teams have more than enough top quality for this division going forward, so both teams to score. What looks like an exciting game looks likely.

Jagwar goes so well here at Cheltenham he has to be the selection. Often held up, he can build on his eye-catching reappearance here last month.

12:30 Middlesbrough v Preston

Middlesbrough

50 WIN

@-175

The home side are in a good run of form with four wins and meet a Preston side who were playing above expectations until the last couple of games.

12:30 Millwall v Charlton

Millwall

@-124

Millwall showed glimmers of decency at Coventry in the week and were perhaps a tad unlucky to come away empty-handed. Can resume winning ways today.

@+162

Jackie Hobbs's form looks solid. She won her first hurdle race at Newbury, beating St Irene, who has won twice since, and Strong Run, who won next time. Her fourth at Haydock was another solid performance, with the second winning since. She is sure to go close here.

With three solid hurdle runs behind him, West Hill Verde is well capable of taking this. A good third at Ascot last time, where he had today's rival Dig Deep behind him.

I'll take the Boro to maintain their grip on promotion places in a tight game with few chances but a goals difference between the teams.

Although Pompey had a great result at the weekend, I find it hard to see them getting anything at Vicarage Road. Watford have been playing some good stuff this season and could get back into winning ways here.

Yes (BTTS)

50 WIN

@-136

Both of these sides look well capable of scoring going forward, but the problem is keeping them out defensively, particularly Leicester, who haven't kept a clean sheet in twenty-odd games.

I will take the odd goal to win this close encounter, with the visitors holding out for a low-scoring three points.

19:45 Coventry v Millwall

Coventry

50 WIN

The league leaders were poor at the weekend in the first half but did produce a lot more after the break to win a tough, hard-fought derby. That may trigger another home win here.

19:45 Ipswich v Bristol City

Ipswich

Pre-season favourites are certainly the in-form side at the moment in the Championship, and that momentum could continue with another home win.

Ipswich & No (Result + BTTS)

The home side look the in-form side right now in the Championship and can gain another clean sheet on the way to another home three points.

It's hard to believe that Hull have won more away games than any other team in the Championship right now and could cause Preston some trouble in a game that both sides will score in.

19:45 Sheff Wed v Birmingham

Birmingham

50 WIN

@-175

The visitors have yet to be convincing this season and must be thinking that the best is yet to come. They should take three points back home from this game against the bottom club.

Birmingham & No (Result + BTTS)

It's hard to see the home side causing a stern Blues defence much trouble. The amount of attack-minded individuals in the visiting side's team should be enough.

Norwich have found a new leading goalscorer to take over from Sargent, and his goals could spearhead a revival from the Canaries. But they must shore up their defensive duties.

The selection's debut run over hurdles reads well. Finishing second to A Pai De Nom was a great first effort. His victor that day went on and was placed in the Lanzarote, a top handicap hurdle.

If Starzand can cope with the relatively quick reappearance, then the step up in trip will certainly help. His second to the useful Bossman Jack reads well, as that horse's form at Warwick the time before is red hot.
