HORSE RACING

Ben Linfoot

BISHOPS ROAD – 3.20 Newcastle

Kerry Lee’s horse was a big eyecatcher at Haydock last Saturday when he was second to Red Infantry, a mistake at the last ending his hopes of victory after he had looked a live threat to the winner all the way up the straight.

The ground was lively enough for him at Haydock but the rain at Newcastle this week means that conditions have turned in his favour and he’s handicapped to win after going up just 2lb on Tuesday.

Fourth and second in this race the last two years off marks of 154 and 144 respectively, he runs off 137 on Saturday and that gives him a fine chance of winning this race for the first time.

David Ord

Dentley De Mee - 1.45 Doncaster

Nick Williams’ charge caught the eye on his chasing debut at Sandown, travelling and jumping well and faring best of those held-up when third to Springtown Lake in a competitive heat.

He’s a winner-waiting-to-happen over the larger obstacles and this strong-travelling sort will be suited by racing around Town Moor.

He should be cherry-ripe after two starts this term and is potentially better than a 130 horse.

Matthew Brocklebank

Adrien Du Pont -1.20 Newbury

Paul Nicholls’ charge banged heads with some really classy novices last season and only won the once but shaped well on several occasions.

His comeback run at Ascot also promised plenty, shaping like the outing may just have been needed, while he was ridden by restraint on his first go at three miles.

Dropping back to the intermediate trip looks a massive plus at Newbury and the race doesn’t appear half as hot as the Ascot event so, with the promise of further improvement to come, the six-year-old is backed to successfully concede weight all round.

FOOTBALL

George Pitts

Huddersfield Town have scored in the first half of their last three games, while Brighton have done the same in five of their last six.

Despite betting opportunities being hard to pin down it may be that it's in the sub-markets that the best bet can be found.

Both sides in the top three for total corners this season. Manchester City are top with 93, Bournemouth third with 80 and over 12.5 total corners in the match at 9/4, given the expected emphasis on attack, is one of the bets of the weekend.

Tom Carnduff

The winger has three goals on his tally this season despite starting just one of their first 11 league games. Wszolek sits in sixth for shots taken in this QPR side and anything upwards of 3/1 looks a bet.

The Leeds forward has already been shown two yellow cards this season, those coming in tricky away ties at Swansea and Blackburn. He has also committed the fifth-highest amount of fouls in this Leeds squad, and it is worth remembering that he missed six games due to injury.

SNOOKER

Richard Mann

UK Championship - Liam Highfield to beat Luca Brecel at 6/4

In truth, a good run for Highfield in one of these major tournaments has looked to be on the cards for a while now after he pushed Jack Lisowski hard in the Northern Ireland Open and was just edged out by Mark Allen in the International Championship earlier in the season. At 6/4, he looks worth taking a chance on up against Luca Brecel, a player who is enduring a poor season and continues to frustrate.

NFL

Touchdown Treble

S. Barkley (NYG), D. Hopkins (HOU) & C. McCaffrey (CAR) all to Score a Touchdown at 4/1

Saquon Barkley has scored 12 touchdowns this season, including five in the last two games; DeAndre Hopkins has scored eight touchdowns this season; while Christian McCaffrey has 10 touchdowns and has scored nice in his last five games.
