Get on Celtic (2/1) to reignite title race

Celtic fans have endured a nightmare month which has seen them go out of the Champions’ League and Scottish Cup.
They have slipped further behind Old Firm rivals Rangers in the SPL and it’s this simple – if they lose on Saturday at Ibrox, they will not win the title.
Truth be told, this Celtic team don’t look up to it. They have hit too many flat spots in the season and that has cost them dearly.
The Strachan signings this season have just not been good enough and he could find himself out of a job if the weekend result goes against them.
Rangers have already secured the CIS Cup and are still in the UEFA and Scottish Cup and are long odds-on to win the SPL.
A great season for blue side of Ibrox but any Rangers fan would tell you – it’s the league they want.
The Scottish national side was decimated earlier in the week when FOUR out five Rangers player picked pulled out – this is how big this game is on Saturday .
The last meeting between the two was way back in October at Ibrox and the ’Gers ran out easy 3-0 winners.
Gordon Strachan knows his team need a win on Saturday, not only to save the season but also to save his job.
We are sticking our necks out and taking a Celtic win at 2/1 and the SPL’s leading scorer Scott McDonald looks a solid punt at 6/1 to open the scoring.
Next down in the weekend quad are BIRMINGHAM (11/8) who need points on the board and quick and should get them at home to out-of-sorts Man City.
CHARLTON (11/10) need points on the board and quick and can take three at home to Wolves.
Making the weekend quad up are are SHEFFIELD UTD (7/4) who are in great form and they still could make the play-offs if they beat Preston at Deepdale
The quad pays around £205 for a fiver
Punters Guide XXX: Yeovil v Bristol Rovers (2/1), Reading v Blackburn (21/10), Hull v Watford (11/5)
Punters Guide FIVE-HIT: Portsmouth (4/5), Leeds (5/6), Queen of the South (8/11), MK Dons (8/11), Livingston (4/6)
The rest as usual is up to you!


Will it be a DC-Reds Final?
Local football fans will be hoping that Donegal Celtic and Cliftonville can win their respective semi-finals on Saturday.
What a final that would be!
The Reds face Linfield and are the 9/4 outsiders to beat the Blues while Donegal Celtic are 5/2 to beat Coleraine in the other semi-final.
That’s nearly 12-1 for the dream final (known by some as the mug’s double).
We are suggesting a nice first goalscorer double for the weekend.
We start with one of the best strikers in the Irish League, Chris Scannell (left), at 8/1, along with the most underestimated striker in the league, Paul McVeigh, who is also available at 8/1.
A massive 81/1 double. Worth a quid at least, we think.

Happy Boy looks decent value
We have the world’s richest race this weekend when the Dubai World Cup takes place in Ned Al Sheba on Saturday.
A punter went into BetFred in Manchester on Monday and placed £105,000 on hot favourite Curlin at 1/2. Curlin sluiced home in the Breeders Cup Classic earlier in the year and is widely regarded as the best flat horse on the planet at the moment.
As punters well know, you don’t get rich by backing odds-on shots, unless you are JP McManus – we have come up with a first and gone for a Brazilian trained horse; that’s right, Brazilian.
The aptly named Happy Boy won the Al Maktoum Challenge Round One at an absolute canter and looks a great each-way shout at 12/1 – that’s 3/1 the place, which is better than lumping on the jolly.

Red-hot Utd priced at 2/7 to regain title
After last weekend’s results in the Premiership Man Utd now trade as the 2/7 favourites after they opened a FIVE point gap at the top over rivals Chelsea and Arsenal.
Most Man Utd fans I know thought Chelsea were the big dangers prior to the weekend, and that really looks the case now. Chelsea get a 7/2 quote from most layers and, remember, Man U visit them at the end of April in what is shaping up as the most pivotal match of the season.
The wheels have well and truly fallen off at Arsenal, who were odds-on for the title at the start of the month and they are now as big as 9/1.
They have picked up just four out of a possible 15 points which is .
If you are completely mad, Liverpool get a 500/1 quote to win the league. They (again) failed to turn up at Old Trafford on Sunday and if they go out of the Champions’ League then expect manager Rafa Benitez to say adios in April.

Easter Sunday showdown for Premiership big four

Armchair punters are in for a live TV feast of football on Easter Sunday as the top four in the Premiership face each other in what could be the most pivotal weekend of the season.
First up is the visit of Liverpool to leaders and champions Man Utd who seem to hold the hoodoo over the Anfield club in recent times.
Bookmakers class Rafael Benitez’s team as the 10/3 underdogs and Man Utd as the 10/11 favourites.
Liverpool go to Old Trafford in a wee bit of form and know that a win on Sunday could cement fourth place in the Premiership. In Fernando Torres they have the most in-form striker in the Premiership and he has to be backed to grab first goal at 6/1.
The champions have hit the front on the bridle and it’s now in their hands. Alex Ferguson will look for the big three of Carlos Tevez, Wayne Rooney and that man Christiano Ronaldo (below) to shine on Sunday and they know a win on Sunday will move them one step closer to holding on to their title.
I’m not sure I would advise punters to lump on Man Utd at odds-on against their bitter rivals, so we are going for the safe option and taking the draw at 12/5.
You just get time to draw breath and then it’s on to Stamford Bridge for the eagerly anticipated London derby with Arsenal and Chelsea locking horns.
Bookmakers class the misfiring Gunners as the 9/4 underdogs and Avram Grant’s team are the 6/5 favourites.
Is it just me or do the Gunners look a wee bit jaded? They have drawn their last four matches and handed the advantage firmly back to Old Trafford. Sandwiched in between those draws was that great victory in the San Siro and it’s that kind of performance they will need on Sunday if they are to get back in the title hunt.
Chelsea went out of the FA Cup without a whimper at Barnsley but have been quietly slipping back into the title race and are in the slipstream of the front two.
Again, the teams are very evenly matched and I’m going to opt for a draw in this one at 11/5.
The Sunday draw double works out a 11/1 – worth a fiver of anybody’s money.
Punters Guide Quad: Reading 11/10, Preston 5/4, Cardiff 6/4, Leicester 11/8
Punters Guide XXX: Sheffield Wednesday v Crystal Palace 11/5, Brentford v Wrexham 9/4, Gillingham v Bournemouth 11/5.
Punters Guide FIVE-HIT: Aberdeen 4/5, Hearts 4/5, St Johnstone 5/4, Hereford 8/13, Chesterfield 4/5.
The rest is up to you.

Spring is in the air as the flat returns with the Lincoln

IT can’t be Easter already! Where does the time go? You work that hard the time just flies by.
Cheltenham 2008 has been and gone and by the smiles on local bookmakers’ faces it was not a good Festival for punters, except for the local girls in the chippy who caned McGranaghans for 12 big ones. or the North Belfast punter who took Sean Grahams for 16 big ones with a £6 bet last Thursday.
On Saturday we have the first part of what the older generation of punters call the ‘Spring Double” – the William Hill Lincoln, which returns to Doncaster this year and the other part of the double is the English Grand National.
Before you have a punt in this race check out the all-important draw.
his street and he is one to beat.
We have put up the John Gosden-trained Escape Route who gets a 14/1 pricing. He’s fit from a spell in Dubai where he ran some creditable races.
We have the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse on Sunday and hopefully we can follow up on last year when we gave out the winner, Butlers Cabin.
As we go to print Albertas Run is still an attended runner along with fellow Festival winner Old Benny.
Old Benny has more appeal and gets an 8/1 pricing. The trip will be right up his street and we think he can defy an eight-pound penalty after last week’s cosy win.

Watch those Irish placepots, punter urges

Dear PG,
Can I just draw attention to something for the punters who place bets on placepots, especially placepots at Irish meetings.
Up until last September bookmakers did not lay bets on placepots at Irish meetings. Now most of them do.
Punters who place bets at Irish meetings are unaware that if you bet in bookmakers that have Tote Direct machines and your horse finishes fourth in any race with 16 winners or more, modern hurdles or bumper races or flat races, your bet is up!
It’s as simple as this: If I do a placepot with Tote Direct I will be paid the same dividend with the fourth horse included as the bookmakers who are not Tote Direct. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a plug for Sean Grahams Bookmakers, for I believe they should put the fourth horse on their results screens and let the punters be aware that their bet is up.
The situation is that dozens of punters who have successful bets do not know. I will give you an example. A few weeks ago there were six races at Gowran Park: Four maiden hurdles with over 16 runners, one bumper race over 16 runners and one 16-runner handicap.
This meant there was a fourth horse in every race. I got the placepot up that day. In two of my races I had the fourth-placed horse. I picked up £900.
If I had not done my bet with Tote Direct I would not have received anything, so punters out there, just check those dockets before throwing them away.

Kauto ready to show Den who’s the Man

Mohayer (5.20)

I have fond memories of the Cheltenham Gold Cup and indeed found my biggest ever winner in the Blue Riband event when Norton’s Coin won the race in 1990 at 100/1.
What a mouthwatering race we punters have to look forward to this Friday. I have been regularly asked in recent weeks: who do you fancy, Denman or Kauto Star?
I have sat on the fence literally until starting to type this week’s column and after giving it much thought it’s hard to desert the reigning champ, Kauto Star. Bookmakers price the Star as their even money favourite and it’s 6/4 the unbeaten Denman.
Make no mistake folks, eight wins from eight chases – Denman is a superstar in the making and will give his stable companion a race on Friday, that’s for sure.
After listening to the view of trainers, jockeys and fellow tipsters and watching all their races this year, I have come up with the way I think the race will be run.
Denman will take it up and lead for about three miles and one furlong and then Kauto Star will hit the front on the bridle going to the last and outpace his stable companion.
I wish it was that predictable!
It’s a three mile two furlong race and as we all know anything can happen in race – there will be fallers and we just hope that the big two in the market survive any mishaps that may happen.
So is it a two-horse race? On paper and stats yes, but where is the value each-way bet in the race? We have opted for Letheby and Christopher Chase winner Knowhere (40/1) who hacked up in the Gold Cup trial over the course in January. He loves the course and should run well at big price.
Hopefully a few winners. If not, then at least let’s pray you get a run for your money!

The good news folks is that this is not the end of the BLOG - it's been that popular, we are keeping it going all-year. It's had more hits than Frank Brunos chin. So you are stuck with us for another while.

Happy Punting

Big Day at Cheltenham ahead

One things for sure you will need a lot of money for the TEN BIG RACES today at the Festival..
A winner or two in the first THREE race would be ideal.
We start with the big one today the World Hurdle. and the $64,000 question is, can Inglis Drever make it a treble in the race?
Bookmakers make him as short as 6/4 for the race and if rumours are right this could be the last run of his career.
He has run six times at Cheltenham and has never been out of the first two; many punters have him down as their festival banker.
He beat second favourite Blazing Bailey (6/1) by five lengths in the Cleeve Hurdle last time out and there is no reason why he shouldn’t be the same come this afternoon. Kasbah Bliss (7/1) is next in the betting but he too has to make up about 20 lengths on the jolly after he finished well beaten in the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury.
We have put two dangers up and our first one is the Eoin Griffin-trained Kazal (left) (20/1) who was tried over fences earlier in the winter but after a couple of hefty falls his trainer put him back over hurdles and in his last run he hacked up in the Grade 2 Boyne Hurdle. He looks a decent sort over hurdles and is our each-way bet of the race.
Wichita Lineman (10/1) has been in awful form and so too have been much of the Jonjo O’Neill yard. To be honest, that has put me off a wee bit, but with Champion Jockey Tony McCoy back in the frame it’s very much a case of ignore him at your peril.
Tthe Jewson Novices' Handicap Chase is a hrad race to work out and we like the look of Barbers Shop (10/1) who hacked up at Kempton last time out.
The Ryanair Chase looks a cracking affair this year and it’s hard to split Old Vic, The Listener and Mossbank in the betting, all quoted in and around 4/1.
We think that Mossbank(4/1) will take all the beating after his gallant second behind Denman in the Lexus Chase at Christmas. The Listener (4/1) was only a head behind but I just think that the two mile five furlongs will suit and the Michael Hourigan-trained horse will take all the beating.
They Bet: Mossbank 4/1, Our Vic 4/1, The Listener 9/2, Tamarinbleu 6/1, L Antartique 8/1, Turko 8/1, Racing Demon 16/1, Billyvoddan 25/1, Forget The Past 33/1, Newmill 33/1, Justified 40/1, Howle Hill 50/1, Knight Legend 50/1, Patman Du Charmil 66/1.
Don’t Push It (7/2) will take all the beating in the Racing Post Plate . He hasn’t been seen out since October when he won a hurdle race at Chepstow, which is a worry, so that has put us off him a wee bit. Bible Lord (10/1) could answer punters’ prayers with a big run. His trainer Andy Turnell is enjoying a purple patch at the minute and this horse hacked up at Exeter in early February and will be primed for this race.
The Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup is another race of the amateurs and we like the look of the Alan King-trained Nykel (20/1) in this one with the promising Charlie Huxley in the plate.
The Pertemps Final Handicap Hurdle concludes the third day and we have put two up for this one.
Robert Tyner is a shrewd trainer and his Footy Facts is as consistent as they come and gets a 14/1 quote for the three-miler.
Cryptic looks the staying type, is one for the future and could run a big race. Consequently he gets a (16/1) quote.
In the first race today I think Sizing Australia has a big each-way punt at 28/1. We are sticking by Albertas Run in the ROYAL & SUNALLIANCE CHASE in the second race today and w ethink Master Minded and Fair Along are still good to go in the Champion Chase.
In the Bumper tonight we have Zaarito (4/1) - one of the my colleagues in Navan told me that Corskeagh Royale is a good thing at (9/1) after he had a chat with Noel Meade give him a wee bit of info!!

Group Captain to spoil Paddy party

DAY TWO
The opening race of Day 2 is the Ballymore Properties Novices' Hurdle (2pm) and, like so many other races at the Festival, it looks wide open.
The betting is led by the unbeaten Aigle D’Or from the Nicky Henderson yard at around 9/2 – he’s won his first two races pulling a cart and will doubtless be thereabouts, but I like the look of two other horses in the race.
Forpaddydeplasterer is trained by Thomas Cooper who could have a big Cheltenham – remember he has River Lane running in the Fred Winter Hurdle on the opening day.
This horse has had four starts and won three. His last start saw him win the Deloitte Hurdle at the expense of Cork All-Star. He is owned by a group of flamboyant Sunderland supporters, the Goat Racing Syndicate, who will light the place up if he wins.
I think if anybody is going to spoil the party then it could be the Alan King-trained Group Captain (11/2) who has won all three races over hurdles – the trainer thinks this is his banker bet of the Festival.
The former smart flat horse didn’t set the racing world alight in his first two jaunts over hurdles but in his last win at Exeter he looked a real star in the making, winning a listed hurdle event.
The Royal & Sun Alliance Chase is always tricky to work out and we have narrowed it down to just two.
We think Albertas Run (6/1) will take all the beating, his only defeat was at Aintree behind Tidal Bay. He has won well at Cheltenham and at Ascot and looks a worthy wager on Wednesday. The danger in the race could come from the Irish-trained French import Pomme Tiepy (12/1). She has done nothing wrong, winning four from four over here.
Leg Spinner (5/1) leads the markets for the Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle, but we like the look of Ringaroses who gets a 7/1 pricing. Our outside bet is the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained Peacock at 25/1.
On to the big amateur race, the Peter O'Sullevan National Hunt Chase Challenge Cup, and Beat the Boys looks like the four miles will be right up his street; the 20/1 on offer looks too good to turn down.
The finale on Day 2 is the Weatherbys Champion Bumper and as usual the Irish have a strong hand this year.
I think Colm Murphy holds the aces with the unbeaten Zaarito the 7/2 jolly.
He is unbeaten in three races and he is one of my naps of the Festival.

Master Minded the one to beat in Chase
....but watch out for Fair Along from the back-to-form Hobbs yard
On to Wednesday and the big race of the day is the Queen Mother Champion Chase – another puzzling race to work out.
Master Minded is the favourite at the moment at around 11/4, but that could change come 3.15 next Wednesday.
Stablemate Twist Magic (3/1) and last year’s winner Voy Por Ustedes (7/2) are fighting it out for favouritism and it’s a hard call to make to see who goes off the jolly.
Master Minded easily disposed of Voy Por Ustedes in the Game Spirit Chase and his odds plummeted for the Champion Chase from 20/1 in to 3/1. But he is prone to the odd error and fell on his debut at Exeter. Word is he is flying at home. Ruby Walsh has picked him ahead of Twist Magic so that could be a tip within itself.
It looks a thrilling race but if the front three in the betting cut off each other’s noses then two outsiders might just run into a place.
The Irish-trained Nickname was pulled out of last year’s race on the day because the conditions didn’t suit him. Any sign of rain next week then back this mudlark who is 25/1 at the minute. If the heavens open, just watch that price tumble.
He jumps for fun and if he takes his place in the field expect a big run.
The Peter Hobbs yard have had a quiet season by their usual high standards but in recent days things have been picking up with a few winners on the board.
They have Fair Along entered and if they revert back to front-running tactics, this one might have a few of the big ones in trouble.
He was last seen finishing fourth to Kauto Star at Ascot after trying to force the pace there – the drop back to just two miles will be right up his street.
He is as big as 16/1 and that could be the value bet of what looks a muddling race.
They Bet: Master Minded 11/4, Twist Magic 3/1, Voy Por Ustedes 7/2, Tamarinbleu 15/2, Fair Along 16/1, My Way de Solzen 20/1, Mansony 25/1, Newmill 25/1, Nickname 25/1, Don’t Push It 33/1, Andreas 50/1, Another Promise 50/1, Justified 66/1, Schindlers Hunt 66/1.

Harchibald the danger to Sizing Europe

DAY ONE
Cheltenham 2008 fever is upon us and the countdown to Tuesday is well and truly on.
It looks a fascinating Festival this year with some new pretenders on the scene and everyone is looking forward to the Kauto Star v Denman bettle in the Gold Cup on Friday – more on that firecracker next week.
We start with the big race of the opening day – the Champion Hurdle (3.15).
The Henry De Bromhead-trained Sizing Europe leads the markets at around 9/4 – I think you might get bigger on the day. He has done nothing wrong this season, winning with ease the Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham and then his big test came at Leopardstown when he took on seasoned campaigners Hardy Eustace and Al Eile and destroyed them in the AIG Hurdle. On that run alone he has to be the one they have to beat on Tuesday.
Of the dangers, nearly horse Harchibald (above right) comes into the reckoning and with the Noel Meade stable back in the groove, could this be the year for Harchibald? Discount him at your peril – he gets a 7/1 pricing.
Last year’s surprise winner, Sublimity (5/1), was fourth in his seasonal bow in the Boylesports International Hurdle and goes to the Festival fresh, just as he he did last year, and trainer John Carr is confident of following up.
Last year’s Triumph Hurdle winner Katchit gets a 9/1 pricing. Although he is a horse who loves it round Cheltenham, history is against him as there has not been a Triumph winner going on to win the Champion in 23 years. But he will thereabouts come Tuesday.
David Pipe runs Osana who bested Katchit when winning over course and distance in January; but he was well beaten by Sizing Europe in the Greatwood Hurdle and is a general 6/1 shot.
Of the outsiders, we like Farmer Brown who is a consistent sort and can be found as big as 50/1 in places. He might just run into a place
They Bet: Sizing Europe 9/4, Sublimity 5/1, Osana 6/1, Harchibald 7/1, Katchit 9/1, Catch Me 20/1, Silent Oscar 25/1, Afsoun 33/1, Amaretto Rose 33/1, Blythe Knight 33/1, Ebaziyan 33/1, Hardy Eustace 33/1, Straw Bear 33/1, De Valira 40/1, Aitmatov 50/1, Bobs Pride 50/1, Farmer Brown 50/1, Jazz Messenger 50/1, Punjabi 50/1, Accordion Etoile 100/1, Kalderon 100/1, Lounaos 100/1, Salford City 100/1, Kawagino 150/1, Pigeon Island 200/1.

Rest of Day One
The Festival kicks off on Tuesday with the Anglo Irish Bank Supreme Novices' Hurdle (2pm) – as ever, to start with a winner would be great. The betting is led by the Irish-trained duo Captain Cee Bee and Muirhead at 8/1 – it’s that wide-open.
We like Khyber Kim in this race. He made an eye-catching debut over hurdles at Newbury after Christmas beating a good ’un in the shape of Theatre Girl by three lengths but disappointed next time out at Doncaster. Reports from the Nicky Henderson yard in recent days have been encouraging and the 10/1 on offer looks a good opening punt.
Last year’s Bumper winner, Cork All-Star (11/1, above), has been let down by his jumping in recent races but he loves the track and will play a part in the finish.
Next race is the Irish Independent Arkle Challenge Trophy Chase (2.35). The betting is led by Noland who has won his last six races and he is as low as 3/1 in places. The Paul Nicholls-trained horse didn’t impress me much with his win over My Petra.
I put Tidal Bay (9/1) up for this race earlier in the season and I’m sticking by that, even though Leslingtaylor (14/1) beat him at Doncaster – he is another horse that will relish Cheltenham.
The Edward O’Grady-trained Clopf could run a big race. He won on his chase debut and had the Flyingbolt Chase in the bag but fell at the last. The 11/1 looks tempting. The William Hill Trophy Handicap Chase (4pm) is a race that punters always struggle with.
We like the look of two in the race. The Nicky Henderson-trained Kenzo lll (14/1), who jumped brillantly to win at Wincanton, will have the very much underestimated Charlie Studd aboard. Meanwhile, the Nigel Twistion-Davies-trained Fundamentalist is having a great season and looks to be overpriced at 20/1.
The BGC Cross Country Handicap Chase (4.40) is usually won by us Irish and last year’s winner, Headsontheground (11/2), will take some beating again this year.
Each-way choice is Yanns, who has been running well and is as big as 50/1.
The last race on Day 1 is the Fred Winter Hurdle (5.20). Anyone who witnessed River Lane winning at Leopardstown on Sunday would agree that if he turns up on Tuesday evening, he will take some stopping. He is 9/2 from 16s and that tells the story of how easy he won on Sunday. Each-way choice in this race is Hibiki (20/1) who is ultra-tough and also very hard to pass when in front.

And the FIRST £25 winner is........
