@+2800

Open

Has been in reasonable form this year and game looks in a good place at present. Finished seventh here last year with five places up for grabs at 28/1. Can better that.

Tyrrell Hatton

50 WIN

@+1000

Open

0

Tyrrell Hatton posted his best-ever finish at Augusta when tied third. His overall game looks in good shape. This course will certainly play to his strengths, and 10/1.
22:45 RBC Heritage

Jordan Spieth

25 EW

@+2800

Open

0

Jordan Spieth, following a loss of form and injury, seemed to be bringing all aspects of his game together coming into The Masters last week. Tied 12th was respectable with 12 birdies and an eagle, but nine bogeys did for him over the four days. If he can get over that disappointment, this 32-year-old's game is coming together. It's only a matter of time before he picks up another title.

Russell Henley

25 EW

@+1600

Open

0

Russell Henley, after a slowish start, finished with a bang at Augusta, finishing third. He has gone well around here in the last five years with four top-20 finishes and eighth here last year.

Ryo Hisatsune

25 EW

@+5000

Open

0

It will be interesting how many turn up here after The Masters and who are not drained either physically or mentally. For that reason I'm looking for a bit of value. Ryo Hisatsune, a young Japanese player, was an obvious absentee from the first major but prior to that he was in good form both off the tee and in the putting department. He comes here fresh, having missed playing since finishing tied 8th in the Texas Open. This emerging talent could upset the big guns at a generous-looking 50/1.

Nicolai Hojgaard

Top European

25 EW

@+1600

Open

0

Nicola came into The Masters in good form. One of my outright picks couldn't seem to get into any kind of rhythm, and he missed the cut. I fully expect him to bounce back here. The value may well be in this market.

Daniel Berger

Top American

25 EW

@+3300

Open

0

Daniel Berger unsurprisingly missed the cut in The Masters. Obviously, from an early stage he was not going to be suited by the course. Prior he'd been in good nick and should have won at Bay Hill. He'll be looking to better last year's third. He's worth a small bet in the outright and first-round markets.

J T Poston

Top American

25 EW

@+4000

Open

0

3, 5, 6, 8, 11 on JT Poston. Form figures in recent starts around here. There are hints of late that he's got to grips with both his iron play and putting, which look like they are coming together. 40/1, 5 places up for grabs ??" Top American looks generous in a tournament he's invariably done well at in recent years.

Maverick McNealy

Top American

25 EW

@+1800

Open

0

Maverick McNealy has undoubtedly talent. Not a player I can seem to get a handle on. He had his best finish in a major last week when tied for 18th. His overall game will be suited to this course. He tied for third here last year, three shots off Justin Thomas.

Scottie Scheffler

Top American

50 WIN

@+275

Open

0

Scottie showed glimpses at Augusta with a strong finish. I'd rather take the 11/4 as Top American then 4/1 outright, as it would be no surprise if last week's major took a bit out of him. His iron play and putting were great over the weekend.

Xander Schauffele

Top American

25 EW

@+900

Open

0

Xander Schauffele, after a slow start, never really fired or got involved at the business end at Augusta. But his overall game is in a good place. He only finished 4 shots off Rory. He finished 18th here last year. Arguably he's in better form coming into this event this year. At 10/1 in this market is a couple of points bigger than I envisaged

Robert MacIntyre

Top GB and Ireland

25 EW

@+450

Open

0

Scotchman Robert MacIntyre had a Masters to forget. But prior, he had finished tied for second in Texas at 16 under par and was 4th in The Players and 4th in Hawaii at the beginning of the year. Dispersed among those finishes were four top-40 finishes. He'll be disappointed in missing his first weekend of the season at Augusta, but his overall game is in a good place. He has the skill set to figure prominently in this market.

Tommy Fleetwood

Top GB and Ireland

50 WIN

@+275

Open

0

Tommy Fleetwood had an up-and-down time in August, finishing tied 33rd. But prior to that he finished 10th in the Texas Open, 8th in the Players Championship, tied 7th in The Genesis, and tied 4th at Pebble Beach. His only poor effort in five tournaments was a 49th-place finish in the Arnold Palmer. This course will suit him. He finished seventh in this tournament last season. It's a tall ask to win this outright, but I can see him being involved in this market as a worthy favourite.
20:50 RBC Heritage

Xander Schauffele

25 EW

@+1200

Open

0

Xander finished 9th, 4 shots behind the winner Rory. This came on the back of further top-10 finishes prior. This course certainly suits his game, with 6 places up for grabs. I would be seriously disappointed were he not involved come Sunday.

Jordan Spieth

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@+3300

Open

0

There's been hints in recent weeks that it's only a matter of time before Spieth lifts a PGA title. He played well over four days for a tied 12th finish, his bogeys undermining him. This course should play to his strengths. At 33/1, he could be a spot of value in the First Round Leader market with five places up for grabs.

Kurt Kitayama

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@+5000

Open

0

34-year-old Kurt has been playing well coming into The Masters. He was tied third after the opening round, 69, with 7 birdies, 3 bogeys, and a double bogey. But 5 bogeys, two double bogeys, and just two birds in the second round saw his chances disappear. He closed the final weekend in 51st place, only 6 dropped shots over the weekend. Despite the second-round horror show, I was quite taken by the way he battled and didn't let Friday get to him. He was 80/1 to be first-round leader that day, giving us 20/1 winner. Been in good form, tends to start well in his tournaments. At 50/1 he might again get in the money in this market.

Ryo Hisatsune

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@+4000

Open

0

Few players may be feeling the physical and mental effects of the first major, so I'm splitting my stakes between lower-ranked players. Emerging Japanese talent Ryo Hisatsune comes into this fresh after a bye week and a tied 8th in the Texas Open, five shots off the winner. He was in good form even prior to Texas and could well score low in the opening round at 40/1. Some 96 hours in advance of the start, I can only see his odds shortening.

Scottie Scheffler

1st Round Leader

50 WIN

@+1000

Open

0

It's only a question of time before Scottie gets another win on the PGA Tour. He finished strongly on Sunday but was just denied by Rory. Such is the overall strength of his game that he could take this course apart at 11/1. Worth a small play in this market.

Xander Schauffele

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@+2200

Open

0

My outright pick for the Masters on the back of several recent top-5 finishes, but he finished 9th, 4 shots off the lead after a number of poor shots. His overall game continues to be in excellent shape. This course is certainly not as demanding as last week. He looks to be 22/1 with 5 places up for grabs, which looks like a bit of value.

A huge game which will be pivotal for where the PL title heads. City have improved of late, leading up to the League Cup final win over the visitors, whereas Arsenal have gone in the opposite direction, with the sheer weight of expectation seemingly getting to them. I can see this being an entertaining, high-scoring draw. BTTS at 4/5 is the bet.

How anyone can back Chelsea in their current form at these odds defies belief. United haven't been much better themselves in their last two, but prior on a decent run under Carrick showed progress, whereas under Rosenior Chelsea regressed. He looks out of his depth. Not sure players are buying into his methods, whereas United and Carrick are. Bigger prices out there for a United win, and the draw double-result I think are the value plays.

Two sides in particular, Chelsea, whose form dropped off in recent weeks. Blues have one of the worst records for discipline in the PL. Both sides need 3 points for their European aspirations next term to be realised. There's history between the two sides under this official. I expect his pencil to be busy. A red wouldn't surprise me either.

At a shade over 2/1, going to take a chance on Spurs to get 3 points against a Seagulls side who have got their mojo back in recent weeks. They're enjoying a very good run of five wins in their last six. Spurs are dire. Loss of Romero for the remainder of the season is a blow. They have not won a Premier League game since December 28 last year. But I just feel they will grind a result out in a must-win game. Certainly cannot get any worse than they have been. I made them slightly shorter than the current odds. The manager had a couple of weeks to get his ideas across; now I expect improvement and a bit more desire.

This looked a two-horse race on paper. Our Guide backed from 4/1 into 8/11, and October Hill went in the opposite direction, 8/11 out to 9/4. The latter is 0-10 now but brings solid placed form into this weak contest. As a mare she gets the allowances and receives 7 pounds off the hot pot. Sports' first-time cheekpieces, along with a tongue tie ??" this is the worst race she's contested. Hoping she'll get a soft lead in front with Jack Tudor.

With the Godolphin runner pulled up, it's difficult to know where to put the performance of Wareeth and his win at Newcastle on 21st March. He won by a mammoth 14 lengths, always travelling strongly and not asked a serious question by Hollie Doyle. He holds no classic entries, not unreasonably surprising as this Sea The Stars colt didn't run as a two-year-old. But foes have an entry at York in the Group 2 Dante next month, so he could yet get a Derby entry. Stepping up a furlong on breeding should suit. He looks an exciting prospect, and a market watch will tell if he's fancied stepping up in grade tomorrow. Foes have a fitness edge over these, with those that ran last month.

Won well on debut at Haydock back in September, overcoming greenness. That was an ordinary maiden in itself. To be fair, he was a little underwhelming at Newcastle later that month. That run came just three weeks later under a penalty; the quick turnaround, surface and penalty could have been his undoing. He was then put away for the winter. Not seen for five months until making a seasonal return over a mile in a Class 5 at Southwell. He won there, going away under a penalty, looking potentially useful. This is a slight rise in class, but his opening handicap mark looks lenient in my view. There are slightly bigger prices available, so shop around. He also has the advantage of race fitness. I envisaged around 5/2, so there's value in his current odds. With four places on offer over a trip that will suit over a straight mile, there's lots to like. PJ McDonald retains the ride once again.

Ian Williams' yard have been ticking over nicely, and the booking of William Buick suggests a prominent showing is anticipated. Comes here fit after two runs this year in Meydan. At around 8/1, expect him to enhance his 50% win-and-place strike after 16 runs on turf: 3 wins, 2 runner-up efforts, and 3 third placings.

With normal progress from two to three years of age, Crazee Icon is worth keeping on side this season. Improved after gaining a handicap mark with two runner-up efforts. If forward enough, with this yard in form, looks worthy of an each-way bet, with ground/draw/pace of the race all positive.

Coming into round 5 of the IPL, both sides have had atrocious starts and find themselves in 8th and bottom place respectively. CSK snapped a 3-game losing run by edging past Delhi Capitals for their first win. Whereas, barring a no result, the Knight Riders have been beaten in all their games. They look weak in attack and bowling compared to the hosts. With home advantage and raucous support, I envisage CSK improving their overall head-to-head record.

Tony will have to settle better if a 2000 Guineas entry is to be warranted. Richie Secret may be the beneficiary. Decent third on debut, then bolted up on the next start. Beaten favourite on seasonal return in a Listed contest after rearing in the stalls and being slowly away. Was still only beaten a length and a half without being given an unduly hard time. Worth another chance to show initial promise was not a fluke. Ross, Ryan takes over.

Two sides in contrasting form. Leeds will be buoyed by their cup win at West Ham, but they are in danger of being sucked into a last-day relegation battle. A draw is no good for either side, so I'm expecting United to continue their good form under Michael Carrick. With Leeds struggling in front of goal, I'm backing United on a goals handicap (United to win by two clear goals) at around even money rather than short odds for 90 minutes. Leeds have a more winnable home game at the weekend, so be no surprise if he rotates his squad tonight. Plus United offer more potency up front.

Leeds are struggling for form as they try and pull themselves away from the relegation zone. It's only really the form of Forest and Spurs that sees them no worse than there are. They meet a resurgent United side under Carrick, who are still in the hunt for European football. I'm expecting a physical game in this northern derby where a draw is no good for either side's aspirations. I envisaged the cards line would open up at 4.5; at this mark it's overs.
