It's difficult to know which Catalan Dragons side will turn up. I fully expect to see a number of points in tonight's game, which should see this points total reached quite early and surpassed.

Millwall surprise package lie third. Albion 20th, but the Lions' away form is good, having won their last 5 away games. They look big at these odds. Enhance that away form against a host that cannot keep a clean sheet.

This is anybody's race. I really wanted to see a stronger jockey on board No Ordinary Joe, as I feel he needs his mind made up for him. He's winless in 24 months but has shown glimmers of his old self on a number of occasions. Of late he's come in for significant support. He last won over this trip off a 12-pound lower mark back in December '23. It's interesting that, at the ripe old age of 10, connections apply a visor. At 28/1, with five places on offer over this trip and two recent runs, he should be spot on for this. There's no way he'll go off anywhere near this price. I envisaged around 16/1.

Both players come into this on the back of poor form and career breaks. But former number one Karolina Pliskova looks in good form in the opening two matches in Linz, and she leads 7-3 in H2H between these two.

Although there are 154 ranking places between the two players, Karolína Plíšková is technically the better of the two on clay as she continues to climb the rankings following injury. She's won 4 of her last 5 matches here and in Doha, and here she's yet to drop a set. Donna had a bye in the last round but previously saved several match points in a final-set decider against Volynets.

DALSTON LAD has won his last 3 starts and form looks rock solid. Stays all day. The application of cheekpieces rejuvenated him. Comes here after a 55-day break. Unlike market principals, he skipped Cheltenham and is around 8/1. The ground will suit him over a trip that will play to his strengths. With 4 places up for grabs, he holds strong each-way claims.

Madara hosed up at Cheltenham, having been laid out for it with several half-vsck performances. But has a penalty to contend with and no price. GENTLEMAN DE MEE at around 10/1 with 6 places on offer, taking him to defend his crown off a three-pound higher mark. His three runs to date have not exactly taken the breath away, but I personally think he's been laid out for this and the cynical side is trying to protect his mark perhaps. The trip and ground will suit, but he will need luck in running due to his running style.

7 runners and 3 races up for grabs. At 8/1 Gidleigh Park looks overpriced. This race has been cut up with some notable absentees. Jumping was abysmal on his last run in the Clarence House. The bit before was second to Jango Baie, who since was second in the Gold Cup and won yesterday's Bowl. This is not the deepest renewal; some want rain or had hard races at Cheltenham. He comes here fresh after swerving the Festival. A repeat of runner-up efforts behind Jango Baie on his seasonal return and on his run here in The Manifesto at last year's meeting would be strong. He's double the price I envisaged; that's with Jonbon and Impaire Et Passe absent.

SANS BRUIT comes into this fresh after an absence of 133 days following, shall we say, a gentle race at Windsor when fourth. He has won this race for the past two seasons. This obviously would have appeared to have been his seasonal aim. Three pounds higher this year but with ground suitable, runs well fresh and the race should be run to suit.

If the two market principles were not to run, in your form EL FABIOLO might be the beneficiary. He's won several chases. Arguably he would have had more but for his jumping. Returning to this trip and smaller obstacles (2 from 3 this season), he could cause an upset. He is another swerved Cheltenham, so comes here fresh after winning the Quinn Bet Hurdle at Leopardstown at the beginning of March in a canter. At 6/1 with 3 places up for grabs, looks the each-way play in the race.

The New Lion was not disgraced behind super mare Losdiemouth in the Champion Hurdle last month and should confirm his form with the principals behind the winner that day. The step up in trip/feel will suit this one better than Gordon Elliott's runner, who was half a length in front of him that day.

Top 3 look about right price-wise but are short enough. I'm going to take a chance on JOKER DE MAI at 22/1 (bigger prices ??" shop around). Had a couple of runs in February, swerved Cheltenham and comes here fresher than most. Was quietly fancied and supported in this last season when a quarter of this price when with Harry Dereham. He's half a stone lower this time around. Granted luck in running; if there or thereabouts on the final circuit he can get involved. Five places up for grabs ??" could well get into the places. In 18 NH starts he's won 3, finished runner-up 5 times and finished third 3 times. Trip, ground and frenetic pace give him something to aim at and get him into a rhythm. I know nothing, I'll be honest, about the jockey. He's had, on checking, just six rides since the beginning of the year but he has ridden winners.

Jango has drifted 8/11??"6/4 since Monday. Is form pick. But this should be run at a frenetic pace with Pic and Prok in the race. Although he ran a shocker in the Ryanair, never traveling at any stage and jumping to his right before being pulled up. That might be worth forgiving. He's run here twice, winning both times.

Popping this up 72 hours in advance as I cannot see 5/1 lasting. I can see this even going off favourite. Won three on the bounce before finishing third at Leopardstown behind the current favourite for this. Think that run can be marked up as the ground was heavy that day; she patently hated it. Swerved the Cheltenham Triumph after that showing, so comes here fresher than most on ground that will be perfect. Each-way price ??" this says Conveyance won't be out of the frame and I think will win comfortably.

Mange Tout has drifted several points. 7/1 is the strong each-way angle in this. But reviewing the Triumph race, adding SELMA DE VARY, who didn't get the clearest of runs, arguably should perhaps have finished closer. She's another who has drifted slightly in recent days. Gets a sex allowance. Townsend keeps the faith. She has a form line through Nacisico, Has Geade 1 Juvenike Leopardstown in February, and our other pick Mange Tout.

Liverpool were abysmal once again against the Citizens on Saturday. They looked tired, disjointed, and lacked passion and fight. In my view, they gave up midway through the game. Defensively, they are making far too many errors against both good and poor sides. PSG could well put this tie to bed in the first leg. Liverpool started off in the doldrums in this tournament, but in recent weeks have started to peak. I envisage the Reds getting a real thumping.

Tupero could be tough to beat but makes no appeal at the prices. STELLAR MASTERPIECE won this race last year. This one loves it around here. She's had 12 flat starts. Eight of those have come around here, producing 4 wins, 1 runner-up effort, and 3 third-placed efforts. She comes into this fit from hurdling and goes well fresh. Very surprised to see 9/2 and bigger. I had her as a 3/1 shot in a race where the majority of the remaining 8 runners are woefully out of form and two running officially out of the handicap

Clueless on debut, and again ran green on the subsequent two starts despite being supported in the betting. Looked like a handicap project moving forward. Opening mark looks fair. Under his shrewd, canny trainer, he could be well ahead of this mark over a stiff 5 furlongs. Positive booking in David Allan representing last season's winning connections. 19/2 in such a weak race is a fair price; bigger on the exchanges.

Represents last year's winning stable and ran a shocker at Wolverhampton but prior had been runner-up thrice. Handicapper dropped him a pound on the back of that last run. If one included Cian's 3-pound claim. He's rated 10 pounds lower than when 5th on his last run on turf last May at Beverley after being slowly away. Tommytoohoots should ensure this is run at a good clip. If he can get away on terms he can win this if the pace collapses in front. Four places up for grabs. Better was expected, one imagines, last time when going off second favourite. Double that price in the same grade tomorrow.

Bromley have proved expensive to follow, losing at home to bottom club Barrow and drawing away to Barnet at the weekend. They can get over their mini wobble with a win at home to Shrewsbury, who have won 2 and lost 4 of their last 6. They look safe from relegation and have nothing to play for. Envisaged Bromley would be a banker at 1/2. Despite dropping points recently, they can get back on track.

Doubt surrounds Harry Kane's participation. If he is an absentee, I can see Real Madrid's odds plummeting. That said, 19/10 in a place is too big for the hosts. Both sides have looked vulnerable in the last fortnight in their domestic leagues. The value lies with the Spanish side.

Arsenal were abject against City's in the League Cup final and were not much better in their 1/4 final loss to Southampton in the FA Cup. But despite their injuries, they should have the edge in quality and, in front of goal, can nick this by the odd goal in 3. Value at the odds lies with 90 minutes rather than on the AH.

Port Vale scored 3 and conceded 15 in all competitions over their last 6 games and are rock bottom. Rotherham scored 2 and conceded 9 over the same number of games and are 2 places and 6 points above them. Rotherham lost 4 and drew 2 of their last 6. Vale have 4 losses, 1 win and 1 draw. Thus it will be an edgy, tight affair. I'm envisaging a low-scoring draw.

Both sides have struggled this term and look likely to go down despite games in hand. Each side kept only 2 clean sheets in their last 7 games. I'd be amazed if this ends with anything less than a goal apiece. Both defenses are shocking, conceding 54 and 58 goals respectively.

Thought was a good thing last season's Ayr Gold Cup (finished 4th). Changed stables with drop back to 5 furlongs and strong jockey booking. May well be time to back him. He was placed in Group company as a juvenile. Totally unexposed at just 5 years of age. One of his better efforts of his career came over this trip. Has to overcome a 185-day layoff but is certainly handicapped to win and has been supported overnight (on at 7/1). With trip, pace and draw all positive, and four places up for grabs, this is a strong each-way play.
