The hosts Girona come in-to the match winless in their previous three matches, meanwhile the visitors Barcelona have managed to win four of their previous five matches. Within the previous three head-to-head matches the visitors Barcelona have a perfect record, winning all three games.

Reason for Tip

The hosts Rio Ave have been involved in four matches resulting in over 2.5 match goals within their previous five matches. Within the previous four head-to-head matches, three games have resulted in over 2.5 match goals.

Reason for Tip

The hosts Bastia have only managed to win once within their previous five attempts, only scoring in one match within their previous five games. Within the previous five head-to-head matches the visitors Troyes are unbeaten, winning four and drawing once.

The hosts Jong Ajax have been involved in four matches resulting in over 2.5 match goals within their previous four games, meanwhile the visitors Cambuur have been involved in four matches resulting in over 2.5 match goals within their previous five games.

The hosts Coventry have been involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches, meanwhile the visitors Middlesbrough have managed to score in all five of their previous five games.

Reason for Tip

The hosts Macclesfield should fancy a goal here today as they come in-to the match in good scoring form, scoring 17 goals in their previous five matches. A goal for the visitors Brentford in our opinion and the bookies opinion is inevitable.

The hosts Jong Utrecht have been involved in five matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches. Meanwhile the visitors Willem II have been involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches, managing to score in all five games.

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

The hosts Cagliari come in-to the match in good form, managing to win four of their previous five matches. Within the previous two head-to-head matches the hosts Cagliari have a perfect record, winning both matches.

Reason for Tip

Unexposed 6 year old who was runner up in his debut point before again being runner up in rules debut in a bumper here at Carlisle. Got up to win on hurdling debut lto on his third start and did so in nice style in a relatively warm race and so looks very capable of taking this today. Further progression highly likely and will be ideally suited to the soft ground. Represents a yard with a strong history at Carlisle and has a good booking in Brian Hughes. There is a couple of useful looking types who are equally unexposed in the line up but what we saw from Kilnesare Flight lto at Ayr was a big positive and with any further improvement is likely to take this race today. Big chance.

Reason for Tip

Despite being 0-18 under rules, Hawkseye View has ran very well in defeat on a number of occasions. Is on a very workable mark and a line can be put through the run lto as previously had been largely consistent in challenging. Drops back in trip today which looks to be a positive, some of his best runs have been over this shorter trip. Pretty versatile to the ground and acts on the forecasted soft ground. Looks on a mark that is hard to pass up today, particularly with a strong booking in Danny McMenamin who is riding well at the moment and has a very good strikerate at this track. If Hawkseye View can return to form, has every chance of getting his first win today.

Reason for Tip

Wide open race here in the last on the card at Fairyhouse and with the principals having either question marks over the heavy ground or massive weight raises to defy, this looks a fantastic opportunity for seven year old Forceonmyown to start his handicapping with a win. This is definitely a reasonable mark for handicap debut and from what we’ve seen so far, has plenty of ability and form of 21634 in recent maidens/bumpers. Should relish the heavy ground today and the trip looks a positive on pedigree. Represents a major Irish yard with a top jockey aboard in Jack Kennedy. Unlikely to be far away today and looks a big player.

Reason for Tip

Hierarchy is very capable of getting the job done, but can be tricky and a bit inconsistent at times which is shown by the form of 21891. Returned to form lto at Lingfield and only gone up 3lb for that win so looks to remain on a workable mark, particularly today with Conor Whiteley aboard taking off 7lb with his apprentice allowance. Conor has been riding well of late and finding plenty of winners so it’s a positive booking. Hierarchy is taken to continue the good form and has a plum draw here today from stall 1. Pretty open race and we are likely to see Hierarchy come with a late surge in the final furlong and if Conor can find him a clear path through, may take some stopping. Good chance.

Reason for Tip

Elliot trained youngster Lynches Knock is the most unexposed horse in this field with only three races and the form from those runs is 312. Should be suited by the heavy ground today as the ground lto at Naas was rather testing and he handled it well. Trip is fine and whilst this is course debut here at Fairyhouse, should handle this track with no issues and has a top jockey aboard in Gordon Elliot. Lynches Knock has looked better and better each time over the obstacles and further progression is highly likely still. From a powerful yard who are going along nicely at the moment and stable first string jockey Jack Kennedy prefers this youngster to the other Elliot horse. Lynches Knock looks the likely winner here today and could take this in his stride.

Reason for Tip

Not a lot in this race who look nailed on for winning this but one who looks to have a reasonable a chance at a big price is eight year old Annandale from the Goldie yard. Had shown a glimpse of a return to form earlier this year with a close third at Newcastle but was subpar lto with an 8th place finish. However, that run last time was dropped back to the straight mile and was clearly not suited to it. Returns to usual 1m4f today and is now 7lb below last winning mark and 19lb below highest winning mark. Jockey change to Lauren Young also sees Annandale with a 5lb apprentice allowance which makes the mark impossible to ignore in such a weak looking race. Drawn wide but won’t pose a threat, is pretty versatile to positioning and can run from the front or the rear. 14/1 looks generous today and would not be any sort of surprise to see Annandale return to the top 3 today and is not written off for win purposes either.

EFL Championship – Coventry City v Middlesbrough

16 February, 20:00 – CBS Arena

Coventry City v Middlesbrough Preview

Coventry City have been one of the Championship’s standout performers this season, spending more time at the summit than any other side. However, a wobble at a crucial stage has seen the Sky Blues relinquish top spot after two defeats and a draw in their last three outings.

A major concern has been a dip in attacking output. Coventry averaged 2.8 goals per game across their opening 18 fixtures but have since slowed dramatically, managing just one goal per match across their last 13 league games. That drop-off has coincided with mounting pressure in the promotion race.

In contrast, Middlesbrough arrive in formidable form under new boss Kim Hellberg. Since replacing Rob Edwards in November, Hellberg has overseen 11 wins from 16 matches, including six straight league victories. A composed 2-0 win at Sheffield United last time out moved Boro two points clear at the top.

The reverse fixture in November saw Coventry claim a thrilling 4-2 win, but momentum has shifted significantly since then. With both sides boasting attacking quality and promotion ambitions, this Monday night clash promises intensity and goals.

Looks on a mark that is hard to pass up today, particularly with a strong booking in Danny McMenamin who is riding well at the moment and has a very good strikerate at this track. If Hawkseye View can return to form, has every chance of getting his first win today.

Reason for Tip

Wide open race here in the last on the card at Fairyhouse and with the principals having either question marks over the heavy ground or massive weight raises to defy, this looks a fantastic opportunity for seven year old Forceonmyown to start his handicapping with a win. This is definitely a reasonable mark for handicap debut and from what we’ve seen so far, has plenty of ability and form of 21634 in recent maidens/bumpers. Should relish the heavy ground today and the trip looks a positive on pedigree. Represents a major Irish yard with a top jockey aboard in Jack Kennedy. Unlikely to be far away today and looks a big player.

Reason for Tip

Hierarchy is very capable of getting the job done, but can be tricky and a bit inconsistent at times which is shown by the form of 21891. Returned to form lto at Lingfield and only gone up 3lb for that win so looks to remain on a workable mark, particularly today with Conor Whiteley aboard taking off 7lb with his apprentice allowance. Conor has been riding well of late and finding plenty of winners so it’s a positive booking. Hierarchy is taken to continue the good form and has a plum draw here today from stall 1. Pretty open race and we are likely to see Hierarchy come with a late surge in the final furlong and if Conor can find him a clear path through, may take some stopping. Good chance.

Reason for Tip

Elliot trained youngster Lynches Knock is the most unexposed horse in this field with only three races and the form from those runs is 312. Should be suited by the heavy ground today as the ground lto at Naas was rather testing and he handled it well. Trip is fine and whilst this is course debut here at Fairyhouse, should handle this track with no issues and has a top jockey aboard in Gordon Elliot. Lynches Knock has looked better and better each time over the obstacles and further progression is highly likely still. From a powerful yard who are going along nicely at the moment and stable first string jockey Jack Kennedy prefers this youngster to the other Elliot horse. Lynches Knock looks the likely winner here today and could take this in his stride.

Reason for Tip

Not a lot in this race who look nailed on for winning this but one who looks to have a reasonable a chance at a big price is eight year old Annandale from the Goldie yard. Had shown a glimpse of a return to form earlier this year with a close third at Newcastle but was subpar lto with an 8th place finish. However, that run last time was dropped back to the straight mile and was clearly not suited to it. Returns to usual 1m4f today and is now 7lb below last winning mark and 19lb below highest winning mark. Jockey change to Lauren Young also sees Annandale with a 5lb apprentice allowance which makes the mark impossible to ignore in such a weak looking race. Drawn wide but won’t pose a threat, is pretty versatile to positioning and can run from the front or the rear. 14/1 looks generous today and would not be any sort of surprise to see Annandale return to the top 3 today and is not written off for win purposes either.

EFL Championship – Coventry City v Middlesbrough

16 February, 20:00 – CBS Arena

Coventry City v Middlesbrough Preview

Coventry City have been one of the Championship’s standout performers this season, spending more time at the summit than any other side. However, a wobble at a crucial stage has seen the Sky Blues relinquish top spot after two defeats and a draw in their last three outings.

A major concern has been a dip in attacking output. Coventry averaged 2.8 goals per game across their opening 18 fixtures but have since slowed dramatically, managing just one goal per match across their last 13 league games. That drop-off has coincided with mounting pressure in the promotion race.

In contrast, Middlesbrough arrive in formidable form under new boss Kim Hellberg. Since replacing Rob Edwards in November, Hellberg has overseen 11 wins from 16 matches, including six straight league victories. A composed 2-0 win at Sheffield United last time out moved Boro two points clear at the top.

The reverse fixture in November saw Coventry claim a thrilling 4-2 win, but momentum has shifted significantly since then. With both sides boasting attacking quality and promotion ambitions, this Monday night clash promises intensity and goals.

Drawn wide but won’t pose a threat, is pretty versatile to positioning and can run from the front or the rear. 14/1 looks generous today and would not be any sort of surprise to see Annandale return to the top 3 today and is not written off for win purposes either.

EFL Championship – Coventry City v Middlesbrough

16 February, 20:00 – CBS Arena

Coventry City v Middlesbrough Preview

Coventry City have been one of the Championship’s standout performers this season, spending more time at the summit than any other side. However, a wobble at a crucial stage has seen the Sky Blues relinquish top spot after two defeats and a draw in their last three outings.

A major concern has been a dip in attacking output. Coventry averaged 2.8 goals per game across their opening 18 fixtures but have since slowed dramatically, managing just one goal per match across their last 13 league games. That drop-off has coincided with mounting pressure in the promotion race.

In contrast, Middlesbrough arrive in formidable form under new boss Kim Hellberg. Since replacing Rob Edwards in November, Hellberg has overseen 11 wins from 16 matches, including six straight league victories. A composed 2-0 win at Sheffield United last time out moved Boro two points clear at the top.

The reverse fixture in November saw Coventry claim a thrilling 4-2 win, but momentum has shifted significantly since then. With both sides boasting attacking quality and promotion ambitions, this Monday night clash promises intensity and goals.

Reason for Tip

Unexposed 6 year old who was runner up in his debut point before again being runner up in rules debut in a bumper here at Carlisle. Got up to win on hurdling debut lto on his third start and did so in nice style in a relatively warm race and so looks very capable of taking this today. Further progression highly likely and will be ideally suited to the soft ground. Represents a yard with a strong history at Carlisle and has a good booking in Brian Hughes. There is a couple of useful looking types who are equally unexposed in the line up but what we saw from Kilnesare Flight lto at Ayr was a big positive and with any further improvement is likely to take this race today. Big chance.

Reason for Tip

Despite being 0-18 under rules, Hawkseye View has ran very well in defeat on a number of occasions. Is on a very workable mark and a line can be put through the run lto as previously had been largely consistent in challenging. Drops back in trip today which looks to be a positive, some of his best runs have been over this shorter trip. Pretty versatile to the ground and acts on the forecasted soft ground. Looks on a mark that is hard to pass up today, particularly with a strong booking in Danny McMenamin who is riding well at the moment and has a very good strikerate at this track. If Hawkseye View can return to form, has every chance of getting his first win today.

Reason for Tip

Wide open race here in the last on the card at Fairyhouse and with the principals having either question marks over the heavy ground or massive weight raises to defy, this looks a fantastic opportunity for seven year old Forceonmyown to start his handicapping with a win. This is definitely a reasonable mark for handicap debut and from what we’ve seen so far, has plenty of ability and form of 21634 in recent maidens/bumpers. Should relish the heavy ground today and the trip looks a positive on pedigree. Represents a major Irish yard with a top jockey aboard in Jack Kennedy. Unlikely to be far away today and looks a big player.

Reason for Tip

Hierarchy is very capable of getting the job done, but can be tricky and a bit inconsistent at times which is shown by the form of 21891. Returned to form lto at Lingfield and only gone up 3lb for that win so looks to remain on a workable mark, particularly today with Conor Whiteley aboard taking off 7lb with his apprentice allowance. Conor has been riding well of late and finding plenty of winners so it’s a positive booking. Hierarchy is taken to continue the good form and has a plum draw here today from stall 1. Pretty open race and we are likely to see Hierarchy come with a late surge in the final furlong and if Conor can find him a clear path through, may take some stopping. Good chance.

Reason for Tip

Elliot trained youngster Lynches Knock is the most unexposed horse in this field with only three races and the form from those runs is 312. Should be suited by the heavy ground today as the ground lto at Naas was rather testing and he handled it well. Trip is fine and whilst this is course debut here at Fairyhouse, should handle this track with no issues and has a top jockey aboard in Gordon Elliot. Lynches Knock has looked better and better each time over the obstacles and further progression is highly likely still. From a powerful yard who are going along nicely at the moment and stable first string jockey Jack Kennedy prefers this youngster to the other Elliot horse. Lynches Knock looks the likely winner here today and could take this in his stride.

Reason for Tip

Not a lot in this race who look nailed on for winning this but one who looks to have a reasonable a chance at a big price is eight year old Annandale from the Goldie yard. Had shown a glimpse of a return to form earlier this year with a close third at Newcastle but was subpar lto with an 8th place finish. However, that run last time was dropped back to the straight mile and was clearly not suited to it. Returns to usual 1m4f today and is now 7lb below last winning mark and 19lb below highest winning mark. Jockey change to Lauren Young also sees Annandale with a 5lb apprentice allowance which makes the mark impossible to ignore in such a weak looking race. Drawn wide but won’t pose a threat, is pretty versatile to positioning and can run from the front or the rear. 14/1 looks generous today and would not be any sort of surprise to see Annandale return to the top 3 today and is not written off for win purposes either.
