The first leg of the Spanish Super Cup was action-packed and Sky Bet have seen money in one of the side markets ahead of tonight's second leg.

Quargent - 6.40 Kempton

Jeremy Noseda saddles Quargent in the 7f novice stakes and strong market support suggests this one is expected to go very well for Jamie Spencer. The War Front filly made her debut when midfield in a hot Newmarket maiden in July which has already produced three subsequent winners, including one at Glorious Goodwood. The winner, third and fourth all went on to run in the Group 3 Sweet Solera last weekend so the money looks well placed. Having been 5/2, Quargent is now 10/11 and looks set for a big run.

17 or more corners in Real v Barca at 8/1

Sky Bet punters are getting creative ahead of the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup, going high on all corner markets. There were 17 in the first leg and this no doubt explains why 17 or more is being punted at 8/1, with 12 or more a very strong fancy with the firm's punters at evens. Elsewhere, both home teams in the Sky Bet Championship have shortened while Liverpool have been nibbled at for the Champions League, with the current 25/1 attracting some support.

Ben Linfoot - Waseem Faris, 2.50 Salisbury

"He obviously likes it here and has run twice at the course this season, beaten around three lengths on both occasions off marks of 82 and 84. His last two starts haven’t been too inspiring, but a hood and blinkers were experimented with and now the headgear has been left off he’s interesting off his new, competitive mark of 76."

Murt Khan - Raleagh Mountain, 7.50 Bangor

"Over the past year the gelding has been applying his trade in the point-to-points - without much success if truth be told. Prior to this he had at least shown glimpses of form over hurdles and, only six, one would be hopeful there is plenty more to come - especially now he has joined Skelton's firing operation."

Ben Coley - Mikko Ilonen in the PL Match Play

"This is a fairly straightforward case, really. Ilonen is one of the few players in this field with high-class match play form and it's not all that long ago, either. Fifth through 54 holes at this course in the 2015 European Open, Ilonen is worth chancing."

Andy Schooler - Astana to qualify for CL group stage

"Seven points clear at the top of their domestic league in which they have won their last eight games, Astana know what to expect at Parkhead this time around and look the value call across the tie as a whole."

Dave Tickner - West Indies to win the first Test

"Some players also claim the pink ball goes softer quicker than the red, others say it swings less. The manufacturer insists this is not true. I’m genuinely fascinated by this Test, and looking forward to it more than any other recent game. As Broad says, the uncertainty is beguiling. And because of that uncertainty, I can’t resist a bit of loose change on a West Indies win."
