A couple of encouraging runs from Island Bridge, and with the stable knocking in the winners, still can take the beating here. The ex-Maxwell horse Mondoui Boy is the main danger.

Has a couple of half-decent runs behind him over hurdles that can put him in with a chance here. His run at Stratford was really encouraging, with the winner, second, fourth, and sixth winning since, and he was fifth.

I think there are doubts over the form of the favourite, so a chance is taken with Wolf Walker, who has two decent hurdle runs behind him and can go one better.

If Myretown is anywhere near a Gold Cup horse, he must stand a massive chance here with a low weight. Being a faller last time is a worry, but he is taken to follow the stable’s One For Arthur’s win in this race.

One of the better bumper horses from last season, and his beating of El Cairos in Ireland looks top-shelf stuff. Also, the Warwick hurdle debut run against Cristal D'Estruval and Bossman Jack certainly looks the best form on offer.

Burnley have their own troubles in attempting to survive this season, but Man Utd have different troubles of their own. They are playing like a club with no direction and are missing true leaders of the team in Maguire and Fernandes. They may both be glad to take a point.

Although these two teams played games last time that had plenty of goals, I take this to be a low-scoring game. Wolves, on the back of a big win, will not want to lose.

Although they have defensive problems with injuries, they should still have too much going forward to win this tie. Haaland is always a danger, but the skilful midfielders are a massive threat too.

The home side are on the brink of the play-off positions at the moment and can maintain that by beating an Exeter team struggling a little.

Both clubs will be looking to be right in the midst of a promotion race in a few months' time and could well cancel each other out here. The home side could do with an established goalscorer up front.

Both sides have crept along pretty well of late without going noticed, and another low-key, low-scoring affair could be on the cards here.

The visitors are certainly the in-form side in the Championship at the moment. Impressive against leaders Coventry, winning away. They had to battle at home against Oxford last time, but should continue their rise up the table today.
15:00 Tottenham v Sunderland
Under 2.50

Spurs were booed by their own fans last game when they chanted "boring, boring Tottenham," so they will feel under a little pressure. First, they need to play better. Second, they need to get a result against a rugged and determined Sunderland side.

Aston Villa are flying high in the Premiership at the moment and must prove they are good enough to stay in their high position. Ollie Watkins seems to be in decent form, and his prowess in front of goal could be enough to win today.

The former champions are certainly on a good run of form right now, and with Rodri on the fringe of a return they are sure to make a go of it against Arsenal. They should have too much for a Sunderland side that have done very well at home so far this season.

Bristol City can kick on again following their good away win at West Brom last time. They are just on the brink of the play-offs and should have too much for Pompey on the road.
