Battle of Ideas Update: Battle of Ideas came back from Taunton with a dirty nose. We’ve had a couple of them like it. You look at them in the paddock and they look superb, he travelled beautifully for the first circuit, and then went out like a light. Then by the time we loaded him on the lorry, it had brought it out of…

Betting preview and latest odds for Ally Pally showpiece A tournament which began with 96 tungsten tossing hopefuls has been whittled down to just two. But who will come out on top between Michael van Gerwen and Michael Smith in the 2019 PDC World Darts Championship Final?   MVG is going for his third Alexandra Palace crown, while Smith is hoping to upset the…

I haven't ridden a winner over the Christmas period so it's been a bit frustrating in that respect but quite a few horses have run well including Thistlecrack in the King George so there has been plenty of positives.  I was really pleased with Thistlecrack's run and I probably did the winner Clan Des Obeaux a dis-service beforehand because I didn't expect that he'd…

Betting preview and odds for Premier League clash Manchester City must beat Southampton this afternoon or face the possibility of falling further behind runaway league leaders Liverpool.   The Citizens are currently enduring one of their worst spells under Pep Guardiola, following back-to-back defeats against Crystal Palace and Leicester City over Christmas. Can they stem the tide on the South Coast? Or will Ralph…

Odds and preview for Premier League clash Liverpool have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table at home to Arsenal this evening. But a patched-up Gunners side will be looking to get back on track after a recent blip. There tends to be goals when these two meet. And with so much at stake, this should be a must-watch.…

Saturday racing odds, tips and preview It’s the final Saturday of 2018, but there’s still time for Ed Chamberlin and the ITV crew to provide another cracking afternoon of racing. Settle in for a quartet of races from both Doncaster and Newbury, kicking off with the 1.30 at the Yorkshire venue. The Challow Novices’ Hurdle is the pick of the day’s contests at 3.00, with Champ…

The latest weekend preview from the Tizzard stables Saturday – Newbury 2.25 – Sandy Beach For whatever reason we couldn’t quite get Sandy Beach right last year, but we had his wind looked at and he did it nicely on his return at Uttoxeter last month. He’s won at Newbury before and hopefully he’s still got a pound or two in hand here, it’s…

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. Arsenal then travel to Brighton & Hove…

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…
