Stephen Bunting

Although an outsider, James Hurrell has a live chance against most, but to beat Stephen Bunting is too much. Bunting is in great form, and I expect a comfortable victory here.
15:30 Jonny Clayton vs Niels Zonneveld
Jonny Clayton
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@-249
Win
20
Zonneveld comes into this match with plenty of confidence, having beaten Michael Smith earlier in the tournament. But I think Clayton is one step too far. I expect a dominant performance from Clayton and take the victory.
14:10 Andrew Gilding vs Luke Woodhouse
Luke Woodhouse
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@+110
Win
55
Bookmakers have this a very close matchup with nothing between them odds-wise, but I like Luke Woodhouse here. You can argue that Gilding is in slightly better form, but I believe the best Woodhouse beats the best Gilding and I expect him to perform better on the night.
12:50 Wesley Plaisier vs Krzysztof Ratajski
Krzysztof Ratajski
Most 180s
50 WIN
@+175
Win
88
I like the odds here of Ratajski to complete the most 180s and find 7/4 tremendous value in doing so.
12:45 Naoya Inoue v Alan Picasso Romero
Naoya Inoue Decision or Technical Decision
Outcome 5-Way
50 WIN
@+450
Win
225
Naoya Inoue is coming into this as an overwhelming favorite, and I expect him to win. With that being said, the value for me is on the method of victory. He's coming up against a Mexican opponent who is the bigger guy, has never been stopped, and will take pride in going the distance versus Inoue as a proud Mexican.

England look way off it and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Australia to continue beating England is the play here.
20:00 Man Utd v Newcastle

Man Utd without Bruno Fernandes tend to struggle due to a lack of creativity. I expect a cagey game with a lot of fouls. My prediction is a 1-1 draw, with both teams sharing the spoils.

I'm convinced on a 1-1 draw, with both teams competing through the midfield and negating each other. Man Utd, without Bruno Fernandes, are a lot less of a threat going forward.
16:30 MT Melsungen vs TVB Stuttgart
MT Melsungen
Money Line
50 WIN
@-454

I like MT Melsungen here. Big favourites and a short price. They have strong home form so expecting a win.
16:30 SG Flensburg Handewitt vs Bergischer HC
SG Flensburg Handewitt
Money Line
50 WIN
@-5000
Win
1
One of the league's best teams and playing at home against lesser opposition. Expected win for SG Flensburg Handewitt with relative ease.
15:00 Bolton v Rotherham
Bolton & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@+220
Win
110
More often than not, Bolton tend to finish every game scoring goals, and I can see no different here. I expect goals, with Rotherham more than capable of scoring themselves, but they have found it difficult away from home to avoid conceding. My prediction here is for both teams to score and Bolton to take all three points and continue their promotion push at the top of the table.

@+175
Void

Small field yet intriguing race with the favorite 'Chuggy' seeking a four-timer for the Skeltons. That horse has gone up 26 lbs for three consecutive wins and, although the handicapper may have yet to catch him, he's probably closer than not. My selection here against the favorite is 'Juby Ball' for trainer Evan Williams. This horse ran well on seasonal debut, showed fight, and came back from being headed to win. I think the horse will take another step forward and land the spoils. Another positive is that the horse has already attracted solid market support.

Jango Baie

I believe this is a two-horse race. I have gone back and forth with my selection, but I have finally landed on Jango Baie. This horse is really on the up and has impressed me even more this season. I believe the step up to 3m is perfect for him, and I expect him to improve past the fantastic Gaelic Warrior, who I believe will take second place.

I believe this will be a race of horses fighting for places, with 'Romeo Coolio' the wide-margin winner here. This horse was most impressive when last seen, and I expect him to continue his winning ways and cement himself as one of the firm favourites for Cheltenham 2026. Smooth-traveling horse with plenty of gears. Everything to like about this horse.

The embodiment of an underdog, Golden Ace comes here in fantastic form. She gets 7 lbs from Sir Gino and has race fitness on her side. Willing to take on the favourite here.

'Indeevar Bleu' is my selection here at current odds of 2/1. He comes into this race favourite, and rightly so, IMO. I definitely think he'll improve on his debut run, in which he still ran to a personal best. The step up in trip is a positive. Any further improvement would make this horse very difficult to beat.

At the prices, Marble Sands makes the appeal for me. I think the favourite is a deserved favourite but has gone up a lot in the weights for that easy win last time out, and it is questionable if that horse can continue progressing. My horse here needed the run out last time and should be even better for today.
13:05 1:05 Aintree
Starmount
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+800
Lose
-50
A race in which the favourite is all the rage, and understandably so with strong connections, coming into this race 3 from 3. I expect that horse to take another step forward and be difficult to beat. I like to look for value, and Starmount, for me, is a horse that can also make a step forward. It's hard to know the ceiling of this horse, and I think he's being overlooked.

Millwall are very much a mixed bag of results and are coming into this fixture against an Ipswich side with key players back fit and firing. However, I can see Millwall frustrate them, as they have shown to do at home to other strong opposition sides this season. I am predicting a 1-1 draw.
Draw #1-1

As previously stated in my other tip on this game, I am doubling down on the 1-1 draw here. Millwall to frustrate Ipswich and settle for a point.

Noble Park

@+150

-50
The famous Michael Buckley silks on horse 'Noble Park' look to be a potentially smart horse. The horse is short enough and it's not a value bet, but I find it hard not to back this horse, especially with his form taking a major boost in recent days with 'Vanderpoel' winning emphatically. I expect a strong, commanding ride from Nico to make it three wins in a row.

El Cairos

-50
'El Cairos' is my selection here for the in-form Gordon Elliott. The favourite commands respect, but this trip might be just too short for it and may become more of a learning race. The fact that Paul Townend is not riding it is also a positive, as he's a class above Danny Mullins as a jockey.

On paper, this looks like a competitive field, with the majority of horses having nice pieces of form. Having said that, I find it hard to look past Josh The Boss, who is in fine form over chase fences. I think this horse has more scope and further improvement than the others, and the jockey claimer continues to take 7 lb off.
12:30 Angola v Zimbabwe
Draw
50 WIN
@+240
Win
120
Not the most prolific of matchups, considering both teams find it a struggle to win matches. I expect a low-scoring, cagey game with the value on a draw. In World Cup qualifiers, both Angola and Zimbabwe drew a large share of their games due to the lack of goals scored.
12:30 Birmingham v Derby
Draw & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS

Both teams are coming into this fixture with choppy form. However, Derby have started to pick up some form with positive results against good opposition. I expect goals in this game, and the value here is one ??" both teams to score draw.

I quite like 'Sweet Magic' here for Alistair Ralph. She ran a very credible second in this race last year and runs off 10st 10lb. Again, this looks like the trainer has specifically targeted this race, and at current odds of 7/1 it looks plenty of value.

Motazzen is coming into this race off some below-average performances, but he's back at his favoured track, boasting a record of 1-1-2 around here. Conditions should suit, and expect him to be hard to beat if allowed to dictate.

Perth Scorchers

@-121

A pick 'em match with both teams evenly poised, as betting suggests. I have given the slight edge to Perth Scorchers as they're playing at home and have shown in recent games they can produce explosive batting figures. H2H figures also favour them.
08:35 Newcastle Jets v Macarthur FC
Macarthur FC
50 WIN
@+259
Win
130
Not much to separate both teams in the current league standings, having tied for points at 12 apiece. This game could honestly go either way, but the value here is a Macarthur win, considering Newcastle Jets tend to win or lose and have yet to register a draw. If Macarthur do cause the upset, I expect it to come in the fashion of a 1-0 victory.

Broncos are heavy favorites and come into this with plenty of motivation as they are fighting for the top seed. Chiefs are without Mahomes and Minshew, so I expect a strong Broncos win.

Keeping it simple. Cowboys are significantly stronger than the Commanders, and the H2H also favors the Cowboys. The odds are short, but it's a simple and reliable outcome.

One of my dark horses to win the competition. Cameroon can mark their first game of AFCON with a victory. Gabon are coming into this tournament in great form and have been consistently scoring goals. However, when they come up against stronger opposition, they tend to come unstuck.

Ivory Coast are the overwhelming favourites here with a star-studded lineup, but they have gotten stuck in matchups like this in recent years. I expect both teams to score and Mozambique to upset one of the competition favourites.
