Brazil are not the force of old, but such is the quality of their squad I'm expecting goals. Morocco won the AFCON on merit and were coming into it in good form. Judged on that, they could trouble Brazil in this and overall in the group. I'm expecting goals, and again odds against at 11/10 thereabouts is bigger than I envisaged.

Heat and humidity will be key factors in this year's World Cup. I do not expect end-to-end football. These two sides are not the force of old but have decent squads. I envisage a scoring draw or a win for South Korea. BTTS and over 2 goals is the prediction.

Opening fixture of this year's World Cup should see a close encounter. Mexico are the stronger of the two sides, but South Africa have players in their squad who could cause problems for the hosts. 11/10 are bigger odds than I envisaged.

Being one of four host nations, Mexico's matches leading up to this tournament have been friendlies. The quality of the squad and opposition they've been playing is superior to South Africa, who disappointed in the AFCON and in two friendlies at the time of writing against Panama. These two sides have met twice before, 16 and 21 years ago, resulting in a 1-1 in the 2010 World Cup and a 2-1 for South Africa in the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2005. I feel the hosts can win this by two clear goals, making an Asian Handicap value bet at the odds over 90 minutes.

With Pop Star luckless on last run, he was the first pick now he's scratched three places on offer, so it goes to the second choice, Impressor. He has been out of form, but his last run hinted his turn may be near. Any additional rain would certainly aid this CD winner. Price bigger than I envisaged with Pop Star absent.

DANNICK holds an entry on Tuesday at Brighton also. The handicapper has been slow to relent, eased 5 pounds in 18 months and not even won! I feel he's ahead of that mark on several runs last term. Finished 3/7 here as a juvenile on heavy, beaten one and a half lengths. Been gelded since last season and wears first-time headgear and a tongue. He's also had wind surgery prior to his last race, as I recall. This is the lowest weight he's carried in his career. Best run around this weight with soft in the going was the runner-up effort at Ascot in this grade off a 4-pound higher mark last September, beaten half a length by the now 88-rated Forty Years. I envisaged he'd be around 10/1; happy to take the 16/1.

APOLLO ONE is a standing fish in this race. In the past he finished placed twice. His runner-up efforts in last season’s Portland, or a repeat of his Group 3 placed effort when a short head second in the Bengough Stakes, would see him go close. He was third at Newmarket last time, which was respectable considering he came off a three-month layoff. Losing to Double Rush was no disgrace. I feel he is a Group 2 winner in waiting (beaten 3 and 3/4 lengths after leading). I thought he would be around 8/1. I certainly didn't envisage 8/1 ??" not a piece of value at time of writing Thursday afternoon.

Folk Pageant continues to improve. Only disappointment was her handicap debut at Southwell (maybe surface?). She bounced back from that poor run with two subsequent wins. She won well at Chester last time despite lugging left and coming from off the pace and wide. A 6-pound rise makes things tougher, but she could well be up to defying this mark. I envisaged 8/1, so feel the price is value, especially with four places on offer.

Ballydoyle maestro is again mobile-handed. But I feel the Frankel colt has been seriously underestimated (on at 50s, maybe biased). He's unbeaten in three starts and improved with each run. The trip should not pose issues. He holds a Group 1 entry in the Irish Champion Stakes in the autumn. He holds both Action and Christmas Day on his Dante run at York, which for one so inexperienced can be marked up further. I'd be amazed if he was outside the first three.

This filly is blisteringly fast. I fully expect her to lead these a merry dance. The fourth when collared late on at Navan on her seasonal return should put her spot on for this. I envisaged her being around the 7/1 mark, so getting 4 points bigger is fantastic value.

High-class individual for André Fabre. Should strip fitter for the seasonal return at Leopardstown. Went off at a ludicrous pace and tired late, but should settle better with that under her girth. She's a winner at this trip. I cannot see her out of the first 3. With a short-priced Andrew Balding horse in the race, we should get a bit of value, especially if they visit Friday with two expected winners.

Number of horses woefully out of form and some won't handle the ground. Arthurs Realm, in fairness, is out of form but was decent with Ed Dunlop. Handicap mark is in freefall, but he has four wins to his name with 'soft' in the going. Makes stable debut and a change might bring about a resurgence in form. Certainly not a 40/1 shot??"envisaged 20/1??"25/1.

The Andrew Balding stable could end the afternoon with a quick-fire double. Improved last season with each race and was a huge eye-catcher at Chester on the back of a seven-month break, overcoming pace bias, drifting left and coming from some way off the pace, staying on strongly to the line. Upped six pounds on the back of that, but to this eye looks ahead of even this revised mark. Holds entries in the Wokingham and Bunbury Cup. If those are to be realised, needs be winning this in some style. Price is skinny, but I envisaged 2/1??"9/4 about right. Unexposed; looks a class apart if repeating that Chester run.

As races go, this is poor. Holes can be picked in all of the runners in terms of ground, form, and trip. For that reason, take a punt at 66/1 on Somikiyr. He's shown little in two starts for the yard, and the handicapper has released his grip. He had some decent placed form in France. I envisaged half these odds in such a line-up. He won over this trip in France. Not beaten far on the last run before that, with forcing tactics, run down late on.

Could run this several times and get a different result each time. Goes that reason looking a bit left-field and a bit of value. Step forward THUNDER ROAR at 28/1 (5 places). Ended last term with fine runner-up efforts at York. Three runs this term have been underwhelming, but there have been mitigating reasons. The handicapper has eased him a further three pounds, and the booking of Volin Keene for a shrewd yard catches the eye.

Favourite looked average last year, but the step up in trip has seen a different horse. I think this race is ripe for a turn-up. VENETIAN LACE could provide it. Her first run of the season was in the 1000 Guineas. Two in-form of her had race the benefit of previous runs this campaign. Jury is out on the breeding side if she will stay this far, but in a sub-standard, wide-open renewal she could prove a tough cookie to pass if, as expected, she gets an uncontested lead. Positive booking in William Buick. Holds Group 1 entries at Ascot and later.

Amidst the Chaos could find trouble in a two-horse race. That has been the case in her last two starts at Ripon and Beverley. However, this is not the deepest of Class 5 handicaps. She is a previous C&D winner and is now just a pound above her last winning mark, with Alex Jary taking off 3 pounds, making her effectively 2 pounds below.

With rain forecast today, possibly overnight, BOLSTER might get his soft conditions for a change. He's had wind surgery. Although this is his first run of the season, he has gone well fresh before. Previous course and distance winner. The Burke yard have been amongst the winners. At 18/1 with five places up for grabs, it looks value. RESPOND in the line-up should ensure its run at a true gallop. I envisage his price drifting. Shop around. I envisaged 16/1 getting a little bit of value early on if he does comes in for support

Persica posted a career-best effort in this contest last year and, although she has been somewhat underwhelming since, one imagines this has been her seasonal target. She should certainly benefit on the run in the Earl of Sefton on her seasonal debut. 5/2 is slightly bigger than the 9/4 I envisaged. She is 2/2 around here. The stable could win with the yard; such is their current form, and Sean Levey is riding with confidence. There was an each-way in this but only skinny three places on offer. Holding fire in case anyone offers 4.

This is a minefield with little form to go on. I'm going for a value bet on HAVANA FLASH. She was foaled in February 2024 and is well bred. Jockey booked, find it interesting she's been pitched into such a contest on her debut. It could well be that she has been missed in the market at 25/1. I can only see her odds contracting for this nicely bred individual. Interesting trainer had kept a share in her. Could be a tip in itself, possibly!
