Wales 33.50

Handicap

50 WIN

@-120

Lose

-50

France will win, just a question of by how much. Won last season's match 43??"0 and have lost 22 of their last 24 internationals. I think the Welsh will try to nullify France. This line is 3 points above what I envisaged, so on that reasoning I am happy to side with the Welsh to lose but cover the handicap.

Talor Gooch very up and down. But he's won a round here before and holds course records here over 54 and 18 holes. He excels here. I feel his chances have been overlooked.

-50

There's been nibbles at Abraham. Initial price of around 28/1 early doors ??" easy to see why. He comes into this following a fourth-place finish in Riyadh with two closing rounds of 65 and 66. His record here is respectable: last three visits 20th, 9th and a runner-up effort last year. I feel the current odds still offer value.

Lucas Herbert

Lose

-50

Jon Rahm is short; value could lie elsewhere. Lucas Herbert, a bit like Scottie Scheffler, had a shocking opening round in Riyadh but had an excellent closing three rounds, finishing -20 with rounds of 67, 65, 64. He comes into this surely with confidence. He performed well here back in 2024. The course obviously suits and plays to his strengths.

Talor Gooch

Feel Talor's chances have been seriously underestimated here. This previous winner excels around here and holds course records over 54 holes (72). At 33/1 on course, does well and has to be added into the mix.

One of the best bets of the graded card tonight. Holds these on the clock with a best time here in A3 of 28.74. The bitch AERO BROOKE should hopefully get a clear run and can take advantage of dropping into A3 after respectable efforts in A2 and Open Company. She's won 2 of her 6 starts in this grade and is 5/22 overall.

Sharp Bobby deserves a change of fortune. He goes wide at the first and has been getting a bump. With 4 vacant, hoping 5 goes middle, he'll finally get a clear run. Holds these on the clock with a best time of 30.12. He's 1 from 2 in this grade, winning 34 of his 107 races round here. Turned over 11/8 in this grade back on the 8th February.
17:45 Aston Villa v Newcastle

Newcastle

50 WIN

@+187

Win

94

Villa have fine remarkably well to still lie third in the PL, but their stretched and thin squad may well see Emery massively rotating his team, with PL and CL obvious priorities notwithstanding a growing injury list. The fact is they have been playing very poorly of late and look tired and jaded, and will have one eye on Wednesday's Champions League tie. Newcastle are not in a great place themselves. Like Villa, they have injury problems, but PL safety assured, this is their only hope of realistic silverware and they can cause an upset here. These two last met was a 0-0 draw and at the odds may well ve worth getting involved in them to qualify

-50

England were quite impressive against a woeful Welsh side. They meet a Scots side who were shockingly poor ??" an Italian side. If turning up in the same form this afternoon, they'll get hammered in this Calcutta Cup match. 2/7 is short, but arguably on form against the Scots they should be shorter.

England -9.50

@+100

-50

England impressed in the opening game, although Wales were terrible in the first half. They meet a Scotland side humbled in Italy. Notwithstanding the conditions, it was a poor performance. Whereas England look very strong in all areas, including attack, the Scots are not. I envisage this line being covered. It's not a happy hunting ground for the English, but this is an average-looking Scotland side. The forecast is clear sky and no rain, which will suit England.

City will win. However, I envisage Pep rotating in this cup tie with an eye on the PL and CL. But I can see Salford perhaps getting a token goal, probably from a set play. Especially as City's first XI defence has not looked as rock solid this year, and a much-changed back four may aid this bet. They will certainly outscore the visitors.

Norwich have looked rejuvenated under new management, and Philippe Clement has got his side playing some cracking football, scoring plenty. They have won 6 of their last 7 matches. They meet an Albion side in a mess, who lost the recent league fixture 5-0. Comfortable home win.

West Ham have improved out of all recognition of late, winning 4 of their last 6. They meet a Burton side ripe for the taking, having 6 of their last ten and struggling in League One. I really expected the Hammers to be shorter. My outside pick to lift the cup.

-500

Firstly admitted small money, but there's 7/4 out there on the fair. Delta Blues Belle looks the best bet in an uninspiring sausage race by some considerable distance. The fact this mare is odds-against is the cherry on top! She's totally unexposed after just five races. She seemed to benefit from the step up to 3 miles and a furlong at Huntingdon, where she travelled like a dream throughout, never once coming off the bridle. Post-race, trainers represented that the improvement in form was the step up in trip. She's actually three pounds ahead of the handicapper under her 7-pound penalty. Trip, ground, and opposition are all big pluses. As such, she's a rare maximum-win at odds-against of 6/4??"7/4. I envisaged if she was turned out quickly after that run last week she'd be 4/5 or thereabouts. Fully expect her to be shorter if she drifts happily go in agsin. The Noel Feilly Racing Syndicate have an exciting mare on their hands. No way she should anywhere near this price come race time.

Ballymac Sargie is 7/17 and 3/4 in open races. He has blistering early pace and holds these on the clock, with a best time of 28.27, which he set on his last run back on January 22nd. With three slow starters on his inner, all railers, there's guaranteed to be trouble. His principal danger could come from the dog in 5, who trialed well recently but has not been involved in the hurly-burly of a six-dog race for several weeks. 15/8 looks very good value.

SIGNCASTLE CITY is extremely well handicapped at present and hinted his turn may be close at hand with a very good second at Lingfield behind a decent yardstick in Monsieur Kodi. He was taken on for the lead that day but knuckled down. He should get an uncontested lead here. With doubts over the trip and the form of some of these, he looks overpriced and impossible to leave out of the frame. Richard Hannon stable have been amongst the winners of late.

The Giant has risen up the rankings and finds himself as world number 3, but he has a poor record against The Iceman. In the last 9 meetings he's only won one game.

In what could be a scrappy game, I'm taking The Ferret to win at just under evens. It should be a close encounter which may go to the wire.

135

Surprising to see Zambezi River at those odds. Admittedly he showed promise at Kempton last month, but his form does not warrant 4/7. The value, I think, lies with Sea Salty, who I envisaged around the 6/4??"2/1 mark. Seeing 9/2 I had to look twice. This one should not be inconvenienced by dropping a furlong following a perfectly redoubtable debut, finishing 4th and very much looking in need of the run. The winner certainly looks above average and may well have had big chance on that occasion. The third that day, Shafdar, has come out and won. The trainer is 0-5 with his 2-year-olds here. But this race is much easier on paper than last month’s. At 3 points above the odds I envisaged, he's tremendous value and today's NAP.

Tryfan is a crazy price. Ran a shocker last month at Newcastle with doubts over five of the runners in terms of trip. CARLTON is quite a big price. 15221 form figures in the last five runs; just beaten here last month. But he loves the track ??" four of his six wins have come here. Trip's perfect. Good draw to operate from. Thus a dual-purpose runner won't lack fitness. And young Ashley Lewis takes off a further 5 pounds, partly negating the 3-pound ride for that last effort.

A race not to get too heavily involved with, as inexperienced apprentices and no whips are allowed. But Angelika K did me a good turn two days ago, and although penalised 5 pounds for the Classified Stakes win this March, she won very easily and looks some way ahead off this mark. She has won off higher in the past. The danger is probably River Wharf, who should benefit from stepping up in trip. But Simon Hodgeson runner is an uncomplicated ride and can make all the running. I made her a 6/4 shot so 5/2 is tremendous value
