(20/03 15:00) Stoke v Tottenham : Stoke or Draw Win @ 1.70

Premiership

quite attracted by the odds for the double chance here.. ie laying spurs

spur shave defoe now injured to join lenno and as such will no doubt rely on dawson to ping thos elong balls to crouch an dpav...

this should play into stokes hands totally and unless arry comes up with some decent tactics then this is the sort of game stoke will relish

also, they are decent at home as we know

and spurs flatter to deceive so much that this is exactly the sort of gam ethey come a cropper in.. good chance to stake that claim for 4th and they will probably stutter to a 1-0 loss here depsite having gomes in superb form in between the sticks

stoke to win or at least draw looks a good bet to me

(20/03 15:00) Portsmouth v Hull : Hull Win @ 3.75

Premiership

new manager at hull... usually has a positive effect

pompey finally docked those 9pts so obviously way adrift

grant supposedly givenup with league and will be looking for a lkast hurrah in the cup

hull desperately need pts and well see the reaction from the players ot how they felt about brown i guess

good chance for hull to take 3pts and bookies obviously agree although still make them underdogs.. worth a dabble for me

(16/03 16:00) 4:00 Cheltenham : Double Dizzy EW @ 26.00

Horse Racing

ran this distance in december and struggled a bit with it so will be pushing its limits to get home today

but not bad price for one thathas some decent form - has had some ok finihses at reasonable prices

shouldnt really contend what with the two top rated horses in this but you never know... was 5th in that race mentioned above, then ran on new yrs day here and was 3rd and again looked bit pushed to see almost 3 and a hal fmiles - soft that day though so may relish the better surface today - will be hard work but fancy a sneaky appearance in the frame

(16/03 15:20) 3:20 Cheltenham : Starluck Win @ 13.35

Horse Racing

have a liking for starluck to surprise a bit here
whislt the top of the market concerns the likely combatants for the champion hurdle ie go native, kyber kim etc (both whom I think will be contesting) I can see a blanket finihs here perhaps and the unlikely starluck nipping in and showing he can handle the finish

trip is about the max as seems to struggle getting past 2 miles so thats ok - will relish a fast race I think and had a good warm up for speed on the AW at kempton last time out

usual jockey murphy on board again today and form has been very good - boxing day was very near to pipping go native although the latter was easing... could be a decent surprise package here this one if the others dont watch out and if starluck has a decent run and jumps well of course

(14/03 16:50) 4:50 Towcester : Master Billy EW @ 21.00

Horse Racing

the fav looks very decent here and should romp this...so looking at the field for a decent place shout at good odds

have an inkling for master billy as must be a reason he is back in this sort of event now... won a point race last wk well so should be in good fettle.. and has won 2of 3 points races on the mainland

others havent got much to recommend them so take your pick almost from the field..

trip and ground should be ok and with ground being good to soft in places will help this selection.. small stakes dabble each way for me

(14/03 16:20) 4:20 Towcester : Silver Snitch EW @ 13.00

Horse Racing

good chance of improvement for silver snitch here based on last run

also seems to go well up to about 19-20 furlongs but struggles thereafter 9as per last few races) so drop in trip today to 19 could be ideal

mark is looking favourable now as down a lot in last two years (hasnt run that much)

hope the conditional jock can coax a good run today and with everything else looking ok and not much to beat, then this one has a good chance here at an ok price - ground may be a tad on the good side but should be able to handle it nonetheless

(14/03 15:50) 3:50 Towcester : Early Wings EW @ 12.00

Horse Racing

backed millarky for the win but have a liking for early wings to place

has been consistent in last dozen races with 10 of them being in the top 4...

usually races over shorter but looked ok when racing 3 miles at leicester recently finishing 2nd to plum pudding - kept on well that day and may appreciate the slog over 3 miles here too

usual jock thornton on top again today - has quite a few ticks in the right boxes sos houl dbe a contender - unlikely to win based on past record as places a lot but doesnt seem to get over the line first so an each way dabble is the call here

(14/03 15:50) 3:50 Towcester : Millarky Win @ 8.00

Horse Racing

fancy this one and early wings here - will go for the win bet on millarky as like the line of improvement that has been shown

last three races have been good efforts, well, two of them have been - barring the penultimate when it may well have been the heavy ground that took its toll

same jockey as last two runs and tripis spot on - yard going well currently too which all helps

just get the feeling that this millarky is a fairly decent sort and in this field should go well - improvement on last race 3rd would be no surprise for me and odds are attractive too

(14/03 15:20) 3:20 Towcester : Ostland EW @ 11.00

Horse Racing

very open race with plenty vyeing for attention here - fancy the chances of ostland as has some decent form in th enot too distant past including abroad and comes here on the back of some good runs

last time out was a bit of a setback but perhaps the cheekpieces didnt help - handicap bow and was sent off as fav so obviously was rated - didnt show well but one poor race shouldnt stop the interest - worth a look for me as has won well previously and over hurdles

if learning from that last race then may well improve here, trip and ground look spot on and although yard arent flying they are ok - could be a place shout rather than a winner

(14/03 14:50) 2:50 Towcester : Bobbisox EW @ 34.00

Horse Racing

big outsider but has a sniff of a chance for me...

yard have got into some decent form with last few runs being decent results including a couple of winners

bobbisox has run ok without impressing too much but i think needs better ground than has been having in last half dozen races - good should suit

trip fine and ran quite well last time when 5th at a huge price - has hint of ability and if ridden well may sneak into the frame at a nice big 33/1 - seems to prefer hurdles and if taking well to the better ground then who knows..
