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…

We’ve listed 10 of our favourite moments from 2018 below, if you think there’s one we’ve missed, then let us know! England win a shootout An unbelievable summer produced…

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…

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…
