This should be a formality. A win for the Gunners. I expect most of the goal-mouth action to be in the hosts' box. Wolves average 3 at home, one of the lowest stats in the PL. The Gunners average 6 away. I think this is on the low side. Happy to go overs.

The 5/4 being offered for Milan looks incredible. When I first saw it I assumed it was a mistake. Coral going 13/10! Milan some twenty points clear of Como. They have won 4 of their last 5 games and are unbeaten at home. They meet a Como side who've improved going into their second season in Serie A, but they've yet to win against top??'4 opposition and looked ragged against Fiorentina at home in their 3-1 defeat on Sunday. Quite simply, such is the disparity between the two sides and the hosts' strong, well-organised defence under Max Allegri that they should be odds on. This warrants a maximum bet.

CIOTOG is proving a frustrating horse. Not a horse for an inexperienced amateur. I can forgive his performance last time under Miss Hope Regan ??" only beaten five and a half lengths that day. He needs to be kidded into his races. Although he's not won in 12 months, this is his trip. He's off an eleven-pound lower mark. Trip and draw are okay. He's dropping into a Class 6 (0-60) against some exposed, out-of-sorts horses. He's certainly been racing against better. I envisage around 5/1, at a shade over a couple of points bigger. He's today's NAP in a race that should theoretically be run to suit.

Two sides, including the reigning champions, would have qualified for the next stage automatically. Both have had poor seasons in Ligue 1. This could be a tight first leg, with the Principality keeping four clean sheets in their last four fixtures in all competitions and PSG two. Envisaging a low-scoring draw.

I'm a bit surprised to see such big odds. I had this nearer 1/2. Both sides have failed to score only twice in the case of the Robins and once for the visitors in their last 6 games in all competitions. City had a fantastic result at Hull but were abject at home to Derby. Both sides' defenses leave a lot to be desired, and at a bigger price than I envisaged I'm happy to get involved at 4/5 for Both Teams to Score. The reverse fixture resulted in a 2-0 home win.

Think we've yet to see the best of Forever Noah. He finally broke his duck at his sixteenth time of asking at Chelmsford 9 days ago. But I can see him being hassled for the lead by Freedom. On that basis and price I'm siding with SECOND VOLLECTION, as I feel the race pace will collapse in front, setting it up for a closer. This 10-year-old mare, judged on any of her last four runs, has an outstanding each-way chance in this. I envisaged her being around 9/2 at one point, and a half bigger she's the value.

Quite how Rosco is favourite on the back 0-11 on career, not bred to stay, I cannot fathom. I'm a massive layer. Forglen would be a danger to Queensland Boy for his in-form stable. He's dropped down to his last winning mark, which came here last season. He's dropping in grade. Raced in this grade once and won it. Ryan Kavanagh takes off a further 5 pounds. Trip, surface, draw, and moderate opposition point to a huge run.

Contrary to the betting, this is wide open. Although he has been missing in action since winning a division of this last year, I'm prepared to have a small each-way play on BLACK SMOKE. He's got blinkers and a tongue tie this afternoon and is now 5 pounds lower than when winning this contest last season. He's a three-time course-and-distance winner. Although nowhere near 9/2 SP last year, he's still 13 points bigger than I envisaged. Shop around; there's a bit bigger to small money around on exchanges.

Beauzon Bern is in the form of his life recently. That's obviously a factor in his price. But a chance might be worth taking at 3 times the odds on Hes An Angel. He won over course and distance last time for the second time. He handles Tapeta and is still 11 pounds below the form of two years ago when gaining a four-timer. He's 5 wins from 17 starts on the AW with one runner-up effort and two thirds.

The most competitive race of the night/day. Water of Leith is potentially well handicapped, 15 pounds off the selection SILKY WILKIE. However, a marginal preference is for the top weight. Despite advancing years, he's been in good form this year with a win and a third and fourth place. Zake takes off 5 pounds to ease the burden; he's some 28 pounds below his peak mark. Fair draw to operate from. Twice winner over the trip and had one win on Tapeta. Envisaged this Mehmas gelding would be slightly shorter.

Zesty Kiwi. I envisaged him being favourite to win this decider. He's 9/4 or 9/49 around here and holds these on better times. The make-up looks perfect. A slow starter either side of him ??" I can see him leading up and making every metre. Danger is the kennel's other dog in 4, but I can see him getting in a tangle with 3 and 5 in the run to the bend.

A race that's pretty dire even for a Class 6. We have a favourite who won last time out but was previously winless in 15 and he's been hiked up in the weights by 9 pounds. Could not back Oldbury Lad with your money. NAMMOS was backed at Southwell last week but ran disappointingly. He was short of room a furlong out and was allowed to come home in his own time. Prior to that he had been going off at huge odds. Ashley takes off 5 pounds. He is very well handicapped presently and James Owen does very well with others' cast-offs. 26 starts, 15 coming on the AW, which included both his career wins, three runner-up efforts and a third. Has a change of headgear this afternoon. This is by far the worst race he's contested in a while. He's previously won off 63 and 61. Runs off 54 today.

With my principal danger now a non-runner, Streamsworth Lad, the way looks open for WOLFSBURG to win. A winner two runs back, he patently didn't stay when upped to 3 miles and a furlong at Catterick last time. That Wetherby form could not have worked out better. The runner-up ran an excellent race when second last week, and the horses placed third and fourth have come out subsequently and won. Shop around ??" marginally bigger odds out there. On an uninspiring fare, even for a Monday, this one stands out with trip and ground all positive against some dodgy opposition. Would have been the NAP but for the price.

With the stable coming back into form in the last week or so, TWO AULD PALS makes some appeal. He's racing off a career-low mark. The stickier the ground the better. Any further wet stuff won't hinder his chances. Jedd O'Keefe, runner on last run, holds him on form, but Gregor's claim of ten pounds offsets that. Only slight negative, which is why it's an each-way bet, is the claimer has not had many rides over the last two years. He has a number of placed efforts but last won back in May 2024. Had just two wins from 50 rides. On the upside, he has ridden this horse before. Shop around as you can get 4 places at 9/1. He makes each-way appeal.

With slow starters either side, it's not inconceivable she could lead these up. She's not the most prolific of winners 3/23 but on this line up from this draw she can add to her winning sum.

The banker of the PGR meeting. Lynnia Maisie rated second of these strictly on the clock from T3. But she can lead and she does stay. With Trap 5 vacant on her inside, she should get a trouble-free run to the first bend and can make every metre, with bunching looking a certainty between those on the inside. Being the sole wide runner, she can avoid all of that and cash in. She's 3/12 around here and won once from two starts in A7 company.

In a deep field there are one or two players at juicy prices. Happy to get involved in EW and Top 10 & Top 20 markets. Collin Morikawa is a class act on his day, although he made a poor start to the year with an MC in Hawaii and a lowly 54th in Phoenix. But four rounds of 72, 69, 71, 69 showed his game hasn't completely gone to pot. If he can get his putter going, this 66/1 could look big on a course that should suit.

Worth noting there is no cut for this. It takes place at Spyglass Hill and Pebble Beach. The first two days are at the former; the weekend's at the latter. Justin Rose is the first arrow at a big-looking 25/1. He started the year well and climbed to third in the world standings. He has an excellent record in this, including a win in 2023, 11th in 2024, and tied third last year. He clearly acts on both courses. Worth bearing in mind he's in better form now than he was coming into the tournament before.

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

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.

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.
