Christian Williams' second runner of the meeting can be expected to improve. He had a run at Newbury seventeen days ago when he finished third. Amateur Mr J. J. Murphy-Knight keeps the ride and gives him seven pounds off, leaving him to carry 9-9. With plenty of weight on others in the field, he looks set for a big run.

Won at Ayr, where he did make the odd mistake with the last couple of hurdles, but this may have been down to the heavy ground. The ground will be slightly better here. That can see him expressing himself once more with cleaner hurdling.

Samuel Drinkwater is a part owner of the nine-year-old and he has come here with two runners, this being the second. Spike Jones has a light weight, and his jockey Benjamin Macey, a conditional jockey, takes five pounds off. On this heavy ground that can assist greatly to get home. Looking at Spike Jones's racecard form, you'll notice a few instances where the trainer has taken him out, once due to heavy ground at Haydock. He has won on this surface at Fontwell. That win was over three miles and two furlongs with 11-10 off a mark of 111. He is only five pounds higher here, but the jockey's claim brings it level. Spike Jones's highest rating was 121. He could be within a chance of running a big race with no weight on his back. He was bigger than 18/1 earlier; I think he may go slightly shorter.

Joe Tizzard is another trainer who has put the miles in to get here with JPR One, coming up from Milborne Port, Dorset. He has another runner here tomorrow, which could see both running big races. The other is Rock My Way. JPR One is stepping up in distance, but this tight track could play to his strengths with him being ridden prominently.

AFC Wimbledon were held to a 1-1 result last week by Rotherham away. Bolton can do the same by taking a point here, which would bode well for them to stay in the play-offs.

Cannot believe Bradford are not odds-on to win this home game against Doncaster. Bradford have lost their last three games; two were on the road. They can record a win over Doncaster that will see Doncaster stay in the bottom four and Bradford stay in fifth place, with two other sides on 49 points having better goal differences.

Stuart Edmund has brought his charge back in distance and could be a competitive player with conditions to suit and having the ability to hurdle well. Admittedly, he unshipped Charlie Hammond after the last at Fontwell, possibly a tired horse, as he was hurdling well until then over nineteen furlongs. Can put his experience to good use here with a big run appearing.

Both clubs hold a good position with a chance of making a playoff spot. Derby have gone three games without losing and can be a force to deal with away. Derby have not had much luck at Ashton Gate, not winning in their last five visits; four were 1-0 wins for the Robins and the other was 3-2. Under 2.5 goals could result from this Championship game, with a goal each appearing, Bristol City potentially disappointed at not getting the upper hand for the win.

First-place St Johnstone take on second-place Partick Thistle, who are now two points behind. St Johnstone lost 1-0 last week at McDiarmid Park to Dunfermline. St Johnstone need to get their minds fixed on this game and forget about last week's dropped points. By winning this game, they can go five points clear at the top, giving themselves some breathing space. This is going to be a tough game. Joshua McPake or James Gullan could find their goal-scoring touch to win this match with one or two goals, possibly two to one. Hopefully St Johnstone are not missing Adama Sidibeh, who has joined Stockport, as he was a key player earlier in the season for St Johnstone.

Judd Trump beat Si Jiahui 5-2, but Judd made things hard for himself in the last frame. He eventually got his game back and made it into the quarterfinals, where he plays Xiao Guodong, who beat John Higgins 5-3. Xiao Guodong has played Judd Trump thirteen times and only won twice, and those wins were way back in 2011/12 in Players Tour Championships. Judd Trump could be comfortable with how the table is playing??"fast. This could see him landing three frames before Xiao Guodong gets one back. Judd Trump then regains composure and secures the last two frames for a 5-1 victory, making it a day of 5-1 results from all games in the German Open on quarter-final day.

Brian Meehan is not often seen at this venue, and this might be a runner with substance. With this being his only runner here, he has two at Wolverhampton tonight. Another interesting pointer is Charles Bishop, who is in the saddle; this is his only mount here today. I was talking to my brother-in-law today, and he was telling me about the Lodge he was at the other day, which I find appropriate to select: Lodge. Lodge is a filly by Churchill and could be robust like him. She has raced just three times, winning her first race at Ffos Las, and was second at Windsor and fifth in her first run of the season at Wolverhampton, beaten two lengths over this trip. This was just eleven days ago. She could be ready to show progress, and, being well drawn in stall two, she can have a handy position to be a big player. This is her first handicap, and racing off 74 looks a very feasible mark for a big run.

Allister Carter has beaten Stuart Bingham the last five times. With the way he beat Ronnie O'Sullivan 5-3 and then hammered Si X 5-0, he is confident at the table and can rack up high breaks.

Cannot underestimate Kyren Wilson. His play at the table can be impressive, and I must admit I do like watching him, with his cue positioning before being on the table for the shot to take place. But he might be thinking of not leaving Shaun Murphy chances, given Shaun has struggled against the number seven seed numerous times, even though Kyren is the number two seed. Shaun could take the match to 4-3, and with pressure on Kyren to try to stay in the game, Kyren might lose the white ball with positioning and allow Shaun to finish off and win 5-3.
