The ground could be key to who wins this race as plenty appear to have chances. Better Times Ahead receives weight from all of his seventeen rivals. He has won and been placed when racing on heavy ground. He has won his last two races and appears to be in decent form.

Ace of Spades was not disgraced when finishing runner-up behind Ma Shantou at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. He has gone up four pounds since that race. The Skeltons are in good form, and this could be another winner for them.

Ionity has not been seen on a racecourse for over a year but looks worth taking a chance on. In total, he has raced seven times over hurdles. His last four runs saw him finish first once, second once, and third twice. He races off a mark four pounds higher than his last winning mark. Those four races were on soft and good-to-soft ground, with his sole success coming on good-to-soft. He appears to go well when fresh, so looks worth following for a place finish.

20:00 Stoke v Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough
A win tonight against seventh-place Stoke will see Middlesbrough move into second spot. They won their last away game at West Brom and won this fixture last season.
19:45 Carlisle v York
York
Tonight's National League game sees top of the table York City take on third-place Carlisle. Both of these teams are on fifty-six points, with Carlisle having played one game more. When these two teams met earlier in the season at York City's ground, the home side scored five times without reply. York City have won their last four away National League games and have not lost away in the league this season. Carlisle have been strong at home this season and have only lost twice in their last ten home games. However, I'm sticking with York City to do the double.
19:45 Southampton v Sheff Utd
Southampton
Southampton's home form has recently dipped, with just two points from their last three home games. Prior to that, they had won four consecutive home games. With Sheffield United losing three of their last four away games, I'm going for Southampton to get the win.
17:45 Galatasaray v Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid are three points ahead of Galatasaray in the table, and a win tonight would move them into a top-eight spot. Atletico Madrid have had plenty of recent away wins, and they won on their last visit to Galatasaray.

In his last race, Rukaana put in an improved display to gain his first career win. He won that race by a comfortable six lengths. Even with the nine-pound hike he has gone up in the weights, if taking another step forward he could well gain his second success over hurdles.

Inferno Sacree has been knocking on the door in each of his three races this season. He opened up with a third at Plumpton and then finished second in each of his last two races. His latest effort was at Taunton over a very similar distance to today, and he was denied by just a nose. Today there should be no issue with conditions, and with the help of a seven-pound claimer on board, Inferno Sacree has every chance of recording his first win of the season.

Coco Gauff only dropped five games in her first-round match. She is ranked sixty-six places higher than her opponent, who overcame Venus Williams in three sets in her opening-round match. The all-around game of Gauff should prove to be too strong for Danilovic.

20:00 Inter Milan v Arsenal
Arsenal
Top of the table, Arsenal will be looking to maintain their 100% win rate in this season's Champions League group stage. Tonight they travel to Inter Milan, who are sixth and six points behind Arsenal. Inter Milan won their opening four games but have gone on to lose the next two. Those defeats were at home to Liverpool and away at Atlético Madrid. Arsenal have been very solid in the six games they have played, scoring seventeen goals and conceding only once. They have won their previous two away Champions League games without conceding a goal. Inter Milan will be a tough test, but Arsenal have the form to give them every chance of making it seven wins from seven games.
20:00 Olympiacos v Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen are higher in the table than Olympiacos. In this competition they have played two away games and won them both. These were against Manchester City and Benfica. Another solid away performance could net them another three points.
20:00 Sporting v PSG
Sporting
In their last ten home games, Sporting have kept a clean sheet seven times. They have won both home games in this competition. This will be their toughest game to date, but if they can keep PSG at bay then they will have every chance of scoring a goal at the other end for a memorable win.
20:00 Tottenham v Borussia Dortmund
Tottenham
With pressure appearing to be mounting on Thomas Frank's side in the Premiership, they will be looking to put in another good performance in the Champions League, where they are currently level on points with tonight's opponents. In two home games in this competition they have taken maximum points, scoring seven goals and conceding none. With another solid defensive display, Tottenham will have every chance of collecting another three points.

Tigers Moon has been out three times this season, winning twice and finishing second the other time, all with Jack Andrews as the jockey. Hopefully the rain will stay away from Leicester, as Tigers Moon’s two wins this season have come on good-to-soft ground. The two wins both came in two-mile races, and while the winning margins might not be large, he was always doing enough. He has a ten-pound rise to contend with, but in his current mood and with Jack Andrews once again in the saddle, he appears to have a decent chance.

In the Premiership table, Brighton are twelfth on twenty-nine points and Bournemouth are fifteenth on twenty-six points after each side has played twenty-one games. Bournemouth's last eight away Premiership games have seen them lose four and draw four. Brighton's last eight home Premiership games have finished with four wins, three draws, and one defeat. The last four times Brighton have welcomed Bournemouth, the home supporters have been rewarded with a home win.

@+750
Lose
-50
Having won his last race, Art Decco has to contend with a seven-pound rise. His win at Exeter was over a slightly longer trip than today and was his second win in three races. In his racing career he has won six chase races with differing underfoot conditions. These include soft and good-to-soft, so he should be fine with today's ground conditions. He carries eleven stone and thirteen pounds, which is a weight he has won with before. With today's race over a slightly longer distance he could well improve again for the extra distance, so a top-five finish looks very possible.

20:00 Real Sociedad v Barcelona
Real Sociedad
Top of the table, Barcelona travel to Real Sociedad, where in this fixture last season they lost. Their last La Liga home game saw Real Sociedad draw with Atletico Madrid, and so it is not without hope that they can repeat the success of last season.
19:00 Senegal v Morocco
Morocco
With this competition being held in Morocco, I'm going for the home team to win the Africa Cup of Nations for the second time. In the FIFA rankings, Morocco are ranked eleventh and Senegal eighteenth. Both teams have been strong defensively, with Morocco only conceding once and Senegal twice. Last year they played Senegal in the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations and won on penalties. Prior to that match, in their last four meetings since 2007, Morocco have beaten Senegal three times and lost once. Both semi-finals went to penalties. However, with this being the final, I'm predicting Morocco to win in ninety minutes.
16:30 Aston Villa v Everton
Aston Villa
In all competitions, Aston Villa have won their last eleven home games. With Arsenal and Manchester City dropping points, a win for Villa would see them move second in the table, four points behind Arsenal. The last four times they have welcomed Everton in a Premier League game, they have won.

Special John
Daily Racing
Special John receives weight from all but two of the runners as he takes a step up in grade. This year he has won his two races, both in Class Five company. In winning his last race the first three pulled sixteen lengths clear of the rest of the field. He is five pounds higher today, and with every chance he can take this step up in grade in his stride, taking him to complete a hat-trick of wins this season.

The Willie Mullins-trained Appreciate It is the elder statesman in this race and has to give weight to his four rivals. He is now a twelve-year-old and won this race last year. He looks to do so again following an encouraging season opener at this track where he finished second.

Protektorat won this race last year. Following his seasonal return where he finished third at Cheltenham, he could once again win this race. With nearly a stone less on his back than at Cheltenham, he could be another winner for the Skeltons.

Premiership side Aberdeen welcome Raith, who play in the Championship. The last four away games Raith have played have all ended in a draw, with neither side being able to find the back of the net. Against Premiership teams, Aberdeen have scored in seven of their last eight games. With that record, I expect Aberdeen to win.

Bottom of the table, Wolves welcome Newcastle, who are ninth. Newcastle have won their last three Premier League games and last season won this fixture.

Since moving to the Willie Mullins yard, Espresso Milan has raced once over hurdles. Despite not putting in a perfect round of jumping, he still managed to win by over one length. With improvement expected, he has every chance of making it two from two in hurdle races.
