Sky Bet's popular punts
HORSE RACING: Galactic Prince to win 4.35 Newbury
This consistent sort who has been placed in two of last three runs, was available at 11/1 this morning but plenty of each way support has seen the price cut into 6/1.
FOOTBALL: Bristol Rovers, Huddersfield & Accrington
Bristol Rovers and Accrington are among the best-backed sides in the EFL today - Rovers are into 6/5 from 7/5 for a home win over Blackpool, while Accrington are evens from 23/20 at home to Cheltenham. In the Premier League, there's been money for Huddersfield to win at Burnley and they are into 23/10 from 14/5. The treble pays around 27/2 with Sky Bet.
Sporting Life's best bets
HORSE RACING: Oriental Fox to win 3.10 Newmarket
"Over at Newmarket the Betfred Cesarewitch Trial is another complex puzzle, although Time To Study could make it easy for punters if he maintains his current rich vein of form for Mark Johnston. However, he’s had two really tough races in recent weeks and is up another 4lb, so it might be worth chancing his stablemate, Oriental Fox. He simply loves the Cesarewitch course and distance and looks as good as ever this season at the age of nine." (Ben Linfoot)
HORSE RACING: Desert Encounter to win 2.15 Newbury
"With Ayr sadly falling to the weather, attention turns to Newbury on Saturday when trainer David Simcock is fancied to take the Dubai Duty Free Legacy Cup for the second year running with Desert Encounter following the victory of Algometer in 2016. The course and distance could well suit Sean Levey's mount ideally and, though he failed to get involved in a red-hot King George at Ascot last time, his previous third behind Ulysses and Barney Roy in the Eclipse at Sandown must give him solid claims dropping in class albeit in a good quality Group Three." (Simon Holt)
FOOTBALL: Over 3.5 goals in Swansea v Watford
"The betting hints there will not be a lot between this pair and a couple of key defensive absentees for Watford due to injury can be exploited by the home side. That said, I don’t expect much of a hangover lingering on for the visitors and an entertaining draw gets the vote." (David John)
FOOTBALL: Fleetwood to beat Southend
"The home form from Uwe Rosler's side has been key to their campaign with three wins and one draw at Highbury picked up to date in Sky Bet League One. Southend are Saturday's opponents and the out-of-form Shrimpers are without a victory in nine matches since the opening day of the season." (Nick Hext)
DARTS: Mensur Suljovic to win the International Darts Open
"The Austrian's popularity is continuing on a steep upward curve following his heroics at the Champions League of Darts as he defied his pre-tournament status as 40/1 outsider to claim his first major televised title. On last weekend's evidence, you'd be expecting to see him priced much shorter than 9/1 to triumph in a lesser tournament which only features two other players from that high-class Champions League event in Cardiff - namely Peter Wright and Dave Chisnall, both of whom lost to Suljovic and crashed out in the group stage." (Chris Hammer)
RUGBY LEAGUE: Warrington (-20) to beat Hull KR
"Warrington ran in 68 points last week and were outstanding. Several players, plus coach Tony Smith, will be saying their farewells and so I think they’ll have a lot more to play for. Hull KR have now sent a lot of players for operations as they prepare for Super League next year after one last effort last week. Warrington could well be worth siding with here." (Ian Millward)
GREYHOUNDS: Good News to win 9.15 Shelbourne Park
"There are a familiar faces, including Jaytee Jet, the 2016 English Derby hero who is the only veteran in the line-up, and Sonic, who had to settle for third when a hot favourite for his race 12 months ago. The latter is sure to be popular again having had a fantastic 2017 Derby campaign and only lost his unbeaten record when chasing home Good News (T2) a week ago, but reversing that form will not be easy. Graham Holland’s dog has the scintillating early speed of Buckos Dream to contend with on his immediate inside and anything less than his best start could also see him in the firing line as fellow wide seed Jaytee Jet moves off at the bend. This could set it up perfectly for Good News, taking part in his second Derby final of the year having reached the decider in Scotland and the 13/8 available with the sponsors looks fair." (Chris Oliver)
