The gap between these two players is huge. Josh Rock is currently ranked eleventh, and Gemma Hayter will no doubt enjoy the experience of playing in this competition but will soon be exiting the competition.

This six-year-old mare has only raced four times in public, recording three wins and a second. She was seen twice in 2023, winning the two bumpers she ran in, one of which was at Ascot. Last year she also raced twice. The first of those saw her finish second on her hurdling debut. Next time out she made no mistake and won by eight lengths. It's been over a year since the Skeltons brought her to a racecourse, but the team know how to have a horse ready to win first time out.

Given what we have seen since going chasing, Excelero could make it back-to-back wins at the main expense of the Harry Cobden ride, Stencil. In his last race, Excelero jumped well and ran out an impressive nine-length winner with the third horse nearly thirty lengths behind. He is up seven pounds, and with another good round of jumping he could make it back-to-back wins.

OKC Thunder suffered somewhat of a surprise defeat when losing at home to SA Spurs in their last game. So if they again underperform, then with this starting advantage LA Clippers could make a real game of this.

WAS Wizards appear to be slowly improving after recording two wins in the seven games they have played in December. They won their last game, and with SA Spurs losing their last game, if WAS Wizards can find some consistency then a possible shock is on the cards.

In early December, Havana Rum returned to race on the all-weather with today's jockey on board and duly obliged by half a length. That race was over five furlongs, and he finished strongly. Today's trip is six furlongs, where he has winning form on both turf and the all-weather. He is up four pounds from his last race, so hopefully he will once again be competitive.

-50
On her only visit to a racecourse, Paradise Walk finished second in a race where the front three finished over nine lengths ahead of the rest of the field. That race was over seven furlongs, and today she drops down to six furlongs, which could suit her better and enable her to get the all-important first win of her career.

-50
MIN Timberwolves are the higher of the two teams in the table. They have won four of their last five games, compared to MEM Grizzlies, who have won three of their last five games. Having won six of their last seven home games, I am taking MIN Timberwolves to gain another home win.
MEM Grizzlies 8.50
Pointspread

On their last visit to MIN Timberwolves, MEM Grizzlies came away with the points, having won by two points. They have won four of their last five away games, so with an eight-point starting advantage this could be a winning selection.

When these two were racing over hurdles, Lucky Place was the better of the pair. Both finished third on their chasing debut. Lucky Place was sent off the odds-on favourite last time out, and with only this one opponent should make amends and get his first win over fences.

Rangers

Rangers are currently two points ahead of Hibs in the table with a game in hand. This season they have played each other in a cup and a league game, with Rangers winning both. Rangers have a strong record against Hibs when playing at home, and a win tonight would see them move up to third.

The last time these two teams met it went to overtime and SAC Kings pleased their home fans by winning. They have won four of their last five visits to MIN Timberwolves. With this starting advantage and the fact that MIN Timberwolves lost their last home game, this void could prove a fruitful selection.

20:00 CD Alaves v Real Madrid
Real Madrid
A win for Real Madrid would see them move to within four points of Barcelona, who currently top the table. Alavés, who have a game in hand on Real Madrid, are eleventh in the table on half the number of points that Real Madrid have. Real Madrid have won on their last five visits to CD Alavés. Real Madrid won their last away game at Athletic Bilbao, giving them another away win.

Each team has played fifteen games. Marseille are third on twenty-nine points and Monaco are eighth on twenty-three. Marseille have scored more goals than Monaco and have also conceded fewer than their opponents. They have taken five points from their last three home league games and won this fixture last season. Monaco lost their last away league game to a team that is lower in the table than themselves.

14:00 Crystal Palace v Man City
Crystal Palace
Over the last couple of seasons, Palace are probably one of the most improved sides. They are currently five points behind City. They won this fixture last season, so I expect them to do so again.
14:00 Nottm Forest v Tottenham
Nottm Forest
Tottenham have only taken one point from their last three away Premiership games, while Forest have taken four points from their last three home league games. They bested Tottenham the last time they welcomed them to their ground.

This tournament has been held sixteen times, and no one has won it more than once. Shaun Murphy is yet to win this tournament but is the only player to register a maximum 147 break. This tournament is something of a lottery, and Shaun Murphy looks to have as good a chance as anyone.
17:30 Barcelona v Osasuna

Since moving to Dan Skelton's yard, Theonewedreamof has raced twice. She started with a second at Chepstow and then improved when stepping up in distance to three miles at Exeter to win by just over two lengths. She is up five pounds for that success. Today she is down in distance, but her stamina could come into good effect coming up the Cheltenham hill. Theonewedreamof could be another Dan and Harry Skelton success at Cheltenham. With five places on offer, play safe with the each-way option.

Reading between the lines of what the trainer has had to say about this race, with all three runners coming from his yard, he will be disappointed if Hansard doesn't win. Apparently, if he is to be believed, his other two runners were kept in the race so Hansard gets a run.

Sheff Utd might be below West Brom by two points, but they appear to be the more in-form team. From their last five Championship games they have picked up twelve points, while West Brom have only managed four points. Although West Brom have gone six home games without defeat, if Sheff Utd continue to play as they do, the home supporters could see their team lose.

Pisa are in the relegation zone and Lecce are one place and three points above them, outside the relegation. The last four league away games played by Pisa have seen them lose once and draw the last three. Lecce won their most recent home game, which was against Torino, who are one place above them. The last time Lecce welcomed Pisa they won without conceding a goal.

After a break of about four months, Stateira returned to racing and won at Newcastle by over four lengths last month. That was over the same distance as today. Provided she is in the same or better form, Stateira could complete back-to-back wins despite the eight-pound rise in the ratings.

Latenightpass won this race in 2023 when trained by Dan Skelton with Gina Andrews riding. Today the same jockey is onboard, but with a different trainer, and he races off a mark two pounds higher than in 2023. Latenightpass is two pounds lower than when finishing third in this race last year. Following wind surgery, Latenightpass finished seventh on his seasonal reappearance at Cheltenham, where he was going well until running out of steam. With that run behind him and a two-pound drop in weight, Latenightpass should run much better today.

The bookies have HOU Rockets favourites based on current form, but in the last two meetings between these two sides it is the LA Clippers who have won. Although they have lost their last two games, each defeat was by nine points or less. With both of those games being played away, I'm willing to believe that the LA Clippers can make this a close affair.
