Leicester City had only narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship in 2014/15 and were 500/1 outsiders to win the Premier League title the following year, but Claudio Ranieri masterminded what many have called the biggest sporting upset of all time. The veteran Italian is now back on English soil at the…

Haydock 1.50 – Ch’Tibello This is a real little minefield of a race, but I’m taking a chance that Ch’Tibello can take advantage of a slipping handicap mark on a track that he loves.
