Helsgetaway
Daily Racing
25 EWNAP
@7.00
Lose
-50
This season Helsgetaway moved from running in bumpers to start his hurdling career. Today will be his first venture into a handicap. With a slight step up in trip and the trainer making use of a seven pound claimer, hopefully he will run well.
08:00 Eva Lys vs Iga Swiatek
Iga Swiatek
Win Match
100 WIN
@1.02
Win
2
With a ranking of over one hundred and twenty places higher, this should be straightforward for Swiatek, who is yet to drop a set at this year's tournament. Their only previous meeting was won by Swiatek.
03:00 Elena Rybakina vs Madison Keys
Elena Rybakina
Win Match

-50
Elena Rybakina is the higher-ranked player of the two and is yet to drop a set at this tournament. She has won the last two meetings between these two players.

Judd Trump
50 WIN
@4.33
Lose
-50
With the prestige of this tournament, expect Judd Trump to once again be a force to be reckoned with. He should be well-rested and ready to endeavor to add another Triple Crown event to his already impressive CV. Since winning the UK Championship, he has only played one match, which he lost in Saudi Arabia against Mark Williams. Back on home soil, he could once again be the Masters champion.

Minella Missile
Daily Racing
25 EWNAP
@6.00
Lose
-50
After being pulled up in a point-to-point race, Minella Missile moved from Ireland to the Evan Williams yard. It was nearly two hundred days later that Minella Missile returned to a racecourse and duly won. He followed that up with a win at Cheltenham in November 2023. That race was over four hundred days ago. However, Evan Williams has shown he can produce this horse to win after a long layoff and is taking him to do the same today.
14:00 Nottm Forest v Southampton
Nottm Forest
50 WIN
@1.40
Win
20
This season, Nottingham Forest have been the surprise team in the Premiership. A win today will see them move level on points with second place Arsenal. Against the team at the bottom of the table who have only collected six points from the twenty-one games they have played, there is every chance another three points is coming Forest's way.
13:15 Shaun Murphy v Kyren Wilson
Shaun Murphy
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.20

Having produced a wonderful maximum in his semi-final, take the former world champion Shaun Murphy to beat the current world champion Kyren Wilson. Murphy has won their last three meetings.

When these two have met Shaun Murphy has beaten Kyren Wilson far more times than he has lost. He has won the last three meetings by at least two frames.
13:05 1:05 Fakenham
Kalif Dairy
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@2.10
Lose
-50
Kalif Dairy was sent off favorite when he ran on Boxing Day. On that occasion, he was beaten by just over a length with the rest of the field over thirty lengths behind. Today, he runs in the same class of race and takes a drop in trip, which can hopefully see him go one better from a three-pound higher mark.
00:30 Aryna Sabalenka vs Mirra Andreeva
Aryna Sabalenka
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.25
Win
12
Three matches played in the Australian Open and Aryna Sabalenka is yet to drop a set. These two met earlier this month in Brisbane and Sabalenka won in straight sets.

19:45 Atalanta v Napoli
Napoli
50 WIN
@3.25
Win
112
Napoli are top of the table and Atalanta are third. Napoli have won their last five league games. They won this fixture last season and have won their last four away league games, so I'm taking them to do so again this time around.
19:00 Judd Trump v Kyren Wilson
Judd Trump
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.50
Lose
-50
These two met in November last year in a best of eleven frame match, and Trump won by four frames. After a slow start against Ding, Trump won five consecutive frames to book his semi-final place. A better start for Trump today could lay the foundation for another comfortable win.
15:32 3:32 Ascot
Jonbon
Daily Racing
A mouth-watering clash between the Henderson and Mullins horses. Providing Jonbon gets into a good rhythm and jumps well, then every chance he will add another win to his already impressive CV before taking his chance at Cheltenham.
14:50 2:50 Ascot
Stoners Choice
Daily Racing

@41.00
Lose
-50
Stones Choice is now a ten year old. He has had two runs since being off a race course for over eighteen months. Both runs saw him finish in the top four. If he can jump better than he did last time out then maybe he could once again record a top four finish.
14:15 2:15 Ascot
Martator
Daily Racing
In 2024, Martator raced three times at Ascot over shorter distances than today's and won them all. He has won over two and a half miles, so hopefully, he can maintain his good record at Ascot over a longer trip than he is used to when running at this venue.
13:55 1:55 Haydock
Royal Infantry
Daily Racing
Royal Infantry finished eighth in the bumper at Cheltenham last March. This season, he has won two hurdle races and won them both. Taking Royal Infantry to complete the hat trick.

Lulamba has only been seen on a French racecourse once and yet has been very well supported to win the Triumph hurdle. If the hype is to be believed then surely he should be winning this race.

These two have only met once before and Ons Jabeur won in straight sets. In this tournament Jabeur is yet to drop a set while the two matches her opponent has played both went to a third set.

Kyren Wilson
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.44
Win
22
Since 2020, these two players have only met four times, with each player winning twice. Wilson is the higher-ranked of the two players, so I'm going for a Wilson win.
Kyren Wilson to win 6-4
Frame Betting
50 WIN
@6.00
Win
250
The current world champion won his last match by two frames. That was his eighth successive win. With momentum on his side, he is likely to dispatch Brecel by the same scoreline, as he is only ranked two places higher than Wilson's previous opponent.

Hansard
Daily Racing
25 EWNAP
@8.00
Lose
-50
In the 2022/23 season and again in the 2023/24 season, Hansard won his second race of the season. His seasonal reappearance was at Kempton back in December, where he appeared to be in need of the run and eventually finished fourth. Hopefully, that race will have him spot on for today. He has winning form at Newbury and is hopeful he can make it the third season in a row when he wins his second race of the season.
13:00 Judd Trump v Ding Junhui
Judd Trump
Win Match
50 WIN

The last three times Judd Trump has played Ding Junhui, they have all been very comfortable wins. So, I'm taking the same to happen again today.

Trump looked in decent form when beating Hawkins in the last round by only dropping one frame. When these two last met, Trump won without dropping a frame.

Paula Badosa

@1.44

Paula Badosa won her last match in under fifty minutes and dropped only one game. They have met twice before in the Australian Open and each time Paula Badosa has won.

Aryna Sabalenka
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.11

A win today for Aryna Sabalenka will make it ten consecutive wins. She has won her opening two matches in straight sets. She is the higher-ranked player by forty-one places, so taking Sabalenka to continue her winning run.
00:30 CLE Cavaliers @ OKC Thunder
OKC Thunder
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.83
Win

Both these teams are currently top of their respective tables. OKC Thunder will be looking to exact revenge for the seven-point defeat they suffered when playing at CLE Cavaliers. OKC Thunder have won their last ten home games, and with that strength of home form, taking OKC Thunder to get the win.
OKC Thunder -2.00

These two players met in a best of seven match in December last year and Mark Allen won by two frames. Today may be a longer format but there is not much between these two players with Allen ranked fourth and Selby fifth. Could be another close match with Allen once again winning by a couple of frames.

After nearly an absence of two hundred and sixty days, Firestream reappeared and duly won. He had two further runs in 2023 and was not seen at all throughout 2024. Now back after an absence of nearly seven hundred and twenty days and from a mark of ten pounds lower than when last seen, taking Anthony Honeyball to have Firestream race fit and ready to do himself justice.
13:00 Neil Robertson v Shaun Murphy
Shaun Murphy
Win Match
50 WIN
@2.30
Win
65
Two of the last three meetings between these two players have seen Murphy win two and Robertson once. Murphy had an easier win in the last round than Robertson did so going for a Murphy win.

The last two matches Shaun Murphy has won he has dropped three frames. Looks worth a shout for him to do the same against Neil Robertson.
00:40 BOS Celtics @ TOR Raptors
BOS Celtics
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.09
Lose
-50
These two met in December when BOS Celtics were at home, and they won by over fifty points. With that being such a commanding win and the fact that BOS Celtics have won three of their last five away games, taking them to register another win.
00:30 Rebecca Sramkova vs Iga Swiatek
Iga Swiatek
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.03
Win

Three losses in her last four matches do not bode well for Rebecca Sramkova against the number two seed. Swiatek won her first-round match in straight sets and looks set for another win.

Emma Raducanu
Win Match

The opponent Emma Raducanu beat in the last round had a higher ranking than Amanda Anisimova. Raducanu has won her last four matches. Her latest win was in straight sets, with each set going to a tie-break.

@4.00
Lose
-50
The last four runs of Double Dragon have seen him finish in the top four. His latest run was at Wincanton where he finished second. Today he has a change of jockey. A ten-pound claimer takes over in the saddle, and that could make all the difference for Double Dragon to get his first win of 2025.

Lightningupourdays improved for his seasonal reappearance to go one better the next time of asking when winning by just under three lengths at Uttoxeter in December. That was the first win of his racing career, and even though he has gone up five pounds, hopefully, he can still be very competitive.
13:00 Kyren Wilson v Zhang Anda
Kyren Wilson
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.40

Kyren Wilson has been in decent form in the recent Championship League, winning his last seven matches. If he can take that form into the arena today, then he has every chance of reaching the next round.

Four of the last seven wins that the current world champion, Kyren Wilson, has recorded have been by two frames. Today may be a longer format, but still taking Wilson to win by two frames.
05:30 Harriet Dart vs Donna Vekic
Harriet Dart
Win Match
50 WIN
@5.00
Lose
-50
The British player made the most of the opportunity given her when winning her first round match. These two have only met once before and the British player came away with the win. With only one win in her last five games Donna Vekic looks vulnerable if Dart can play anywhere near her best level of tennis.
00:30 Aryna Sabalenka vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro
Aryna Sabalenka
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.02
Win
1
Aryna Sabalenka took just over seventy minutes to complete her first-round match to make it eight consecutive match victories. It is highly unlikely that Maneiro, who is ranked over fifty places lower, will be able to offer much resistance before Sabalenka moves to nine consecutive wins.

OKC Thunder
Money Line
50 WIN
@1.12
Win
6
The only win that PHI 76ers have had in their last four games was against the bottom of the table WAS Wizards. That form just does not look strong enough to cope with the top of the table OKC Thunder, who have won six of their last seven away games.
00:00 Laura Siegemund vs Qinwen Zheng
Qinwen Zheng
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.04
Lose
-50
With only two defeats in her last ten matches, Qinwen Zheng should have a comfortable win against a player ranked over ninety places lower than herself. Zheng's two defeats came against Gauff and Sabalenka, who both have a single-figure ranking.

20:00 Nottm Forest v Liverpool
Liverpool
50 WIN
@1.67
Lose
-50
Over the years, Nottingham Forest has not proved a happy hunting ground for Liverpool, as they have only won there twice in twelve visits. Forest have been the surprise package of the Premiership this season, but I expect them to come up short against the current Premiership leaders. Liverpool have scored seventeen goals in their last four Premiership away games, which is just over four goals a game. That scoring power could be too strong for the Nottingham Forest defense to contend with.

-50
Cherry Tree Dawn has raced five times. All those runs have been on turf and she has shown absolutely nothing. In the hope that a switch to the all-weather, the fitting of first-time blinkers, and a different jockey bring about significant improvement, at these odds Cherry Tree Dawn looks worth an EW shout.

Kazontherazz ran her best race for a while when last seen in December, where she finished third. Sean Bowen is back in the saddle today, and if she can improve from that run, then she appears to have a chance against a field of runners where only one horse has winning form in any of their two previous races.

Jurancon

@1.62

Providing the extra half a mile which Jurancon will have to run today is within his capabilities, then Jurancon looks to have every chance of returning to the winner's enclosure. His last three runs have all been over hurdles, resulting in one win and second twice.
13:00 Judd Trump v Barry Hawkins
Judd Trump
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.44
Win
22
These two met in the UK Championship final where Judd Trump won by two frames. Since then, Trump has lost his next two matches. Trump has beaten Hawkins the last five times, so I'm expecting him to bounce back and win.

Elena Rybakina is a former finalist at the Australian Open. With a ranking of over two hundred and eighty places higher than her opponent, she is likely to safely negotiate her way into the second round.

Emma Raducanu has played at the Australian Open three times before and is yet to lose a first-round match. Providing she is fully fit and back to her best, then every chance she will once again make it through to the second round. Her opponent has lost four of her five previous matches.
