Racing ambassador previews his weekend rides Saturday – Newbury 12.05 – Legal History I start the day on Legal History, who is having his first run over hurdles.  He’s schooled nicely, and while it’s a competitive looking race, we’re hopeful of a nice start. His flat form is respectable, and he’s pleased us at home so I’m looking forward to this. 2.25 – Aurillac…

Week 17 is here and the final Sunday of the regular season looks set to be a dramatic one that is full of tension, nerves and touchdowns. The final week can be tough as injuries rack up and some teams may rest their stars ahead of the playoffs. There are often shocks on the final day when two teams meet who have little to…

Odds and preview of Prem tussle It may be the season of goodwill, but neither Southampton nor West Ham United will be in a generous mood, with tonight’s Premier League clash vital for both sides. Saints are bidding to boost their three-point gap above the drop zone after a couple of wins under new boss Ralph Hassenhuttl. As for the Irons, victory could take…

There are three games to enjoy on Sky Sports Premier League as you tuck into your turkey sandwiches. First up is a clash between two promoted sides, as Fulham host Wolves.

12.30 Chepstow – Nativegetaway They have given him a handicap mark of 120 but he could not qualify for the handicap race there as he has had just the two runs so he needs to have another spin. He likes the track and 2m3f is just about ok on this ground. It looks to be a competitive maiden hurdle and there might be one…

12.30 Chepstow – Jasmine Des Bordes We were pleased with his first run where he showed a good attitude at Exeter. We have decided to go straight to hurdling with him now as he has schooled well at home. His point-to-point form is solid and hopefully I can get the day off to a good start at Chepstow with a winner. David Pipe’s horses…

Premier League Boxing Day Accumulator: New manager bounce in full flow at Old Trafford and St Mary’s It’s somewhat ironically the dawn of a new era at Old Trafford given those who have replaced Jose Mourinho are from a bygone era, a much happier time. There’s no denying that United fans have a lot to be festive about, even though many rival fans will argue ‘they…

Daklondike and Eden Du Houx I was really pleased with Daklondike winning the Tommy Whittle. David’s horses are running very well. It was a good couple of days for Caroline Tisdall as we won the Listed Bumper too at Ascot. Daklondike is an enigma but he was on his best behaviour on Saturday. It was a great performance from him as he isn’t the…

  3.05 Kempton – The King George Chase  – Thistlecrack and Native River Thistlecrack We are really pleased with Thistlecrack, in fact we couldn’t be happier with him. He’s doing work like he did two years ago, and is better than ever at home. He schooled well on Wednesday with Tom Scudamore. We now just hope that he can put it on the track…

Odds and review of the NBA action The NBA world was dominated by trade talk last week as each team begins to get a feel for where they need to make additions. Toronto Raptors still lead the way in the East, but did lose three of their five games last week. Denver Nuggets are one of the teams that netted a victory over the…

Latest odds and preview for Premier League match The final Premier League fixture before Christmas looks set to be a cracker as Everton welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Goodison Park. Marco Silva’s men may be on a poor run of form but their performances at least hint towards a difficult match for today’s visitors. Spurs, though, won’t fear anyone after 10 wins in their last…

Preview and odds for Europa League clash All eyes will be on the Cardiff City Stadium tonight as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer takes charge of Manchester United for the first time. The Red Devils legend has been handed the reins in a caretaker capacity, following Jose Mourinho’s sacking on Tuesday. By coincidence, his first match in charge of his beloved club is away at the…
