Chelsea v Manchester Utd Tips, Predictions and 10/1 Bet Builder

18 April – 20:00 | Premier League | Stamford Bridge

Chelsea v Manchester Utd Preview

Chelsea FC and Manchester United meet at Stamford Bridge in a clash that could significantly impact the race for European qualification.

Liam Rosenior’s bright start at Chelsea feels like a distant memory. After winning his first four Premier League games in charge, the Blues have managed just one win in their last seven league matches (D2 L4). Across all competitions, Chelsea have lost six of their last nine outings — a dramatic downturn in form that has left their Champions League ambitions hanging in the balance.

Last weekend’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City exposed defensive frailties once again, and Chelsea now sit sixth in the table — closer to mid-table than the top four. Alarmingly, they are at risk of losing four consecutive league matches for the first time since 2023.

However, Stamford Bridge has been a stronghold against United in recent years. Chelsea have lost just one of their last 12 home Premier League meetings with the Red Devils (W6 D5), and they will aim to make that home advantage count once again.

Manchester United, meanwhile, suffered a setback in their 2-1 defeat to Leeds at Old Trafford — their first home loss under interim boss Michael Carrick. Despite sitting third, United are wobbling slightly, having lost two of their last four league matches.

Defensively, concerns persist. United have kept just three clean sheets in 13 Premier League games since the turn of the year and have recorded only one shutout in their last 21 away league fixtures — a stat that suggests Chelsea should create opportunities.

With both sides inconsistent and under pressure, this has the feel of an open, high-intensity encounter where goals look likely.

Reason for Tip

Liverpool FC are still marginal favourites, but this is far from a comfortable pick now. The Reds sit 5th with 52 points, just 5 points ahead of Everton FC in 8th , and recent form is a major concern. Liverpool have lost 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions, averaging just 0.6 goals scored and 2.0 conceded in that run .

In contrast, Everton are in strong form, going 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss in their last 5, and averaging 2.0 goals scored per game . They’ve also won their last two home matches with clean sheets.

However, Liverpool still edge this due to higher attacking ceiling and historical dominance (22 wins in last 40 H2Hs) . This is now a tight, high-risk lean rather than a strong favourite play.

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Virgil van Dijk is a strong aerial threat from set pieces, and this selection is closely tied to Liverpool’s expected corner volume. He averages around 1 shot per game, typically from corners and free kicks, and with Liverpool likely to deliver multiple balls into the box, his chances of testing the goalkeeper increase. With Liverpool also leaning more on set pieces due to attacking inconsistencies, Van Dijk remains a viable but slightly higher-variance pick for a shot on target.

Reason for Tip

AS Roma have been strong at the Stadio Olimpico, where they’ve picked up the majority of their points and maintained a solid defensive record, conceding ~1 goal per game at home. Their structure and game management in big fixtures often give them an edge. Atalanta BC remain dangerous going forward but can be inconsistent away, particularly against organised defensive sides. With Roma’s home advantage and tactical discipline, the home win is a marginal but justified selection.

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Giacomo Raspadori is a consistent attacking outlet, averaging ~2 shots per game and regularly getting efforts on target when playing in advanced roles. His movement between the lines and ability to find space in central areas make him a reliable threat, even in tighter games. Against a Roma defence that can still allow chances, Raspadori is well placed to register at least one shot on target.

Reason for Tip

Brentford FC have been strong at home, averaging ~1.7 goals per game at the Gtech, but remain far from watertight defensively, conceding in 8 of their last 10 matches. Fulham FC are also consistent in attack, scoring in the majority of recent fixtures, but similarly struggle to keep clean sheets. This West London derby historically produces competitive, open games, and with both teams carrying attacking threat but defensive vulnerabilities, the combination of a Brentford win with BTTS is well supported.

Tottenham v Brighton Tips, Predictions and 9/1 Bet Builder

18 April – 17:30 | Premier League | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham v Brighton Preview

Tottenham Hotspur host in-form Brighton & Hove Albion in a high-stakes Premier League encounter with very different pressures on each side.

Tottenham’s start to life under Roberto De Zerbi has been bleak. A 1-0 defeat at Sunderland extended Spurs’ winless league run to 14 matches in 2026, leaving them in the relegation zone with just six games remaining. To make matters worse, captain Cristian Romero has suffered a season-ending knee injury, further weakening an already fragile defence.

Spurs’ home form has been particularly alarming. They have collected just 10 points at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium all season — the worst home record in the division — and have lost 16 league matches overall. While performances have shown minor improvement, results have not followed.

Brighton, meanwhile, are flying. Fabian Hurzeler’s side have won their last three Premier League matches, scoring confidently and keeping clean sheets in each of their last three away victories. With 15 points from their last six games, the Seagulls boast the best recent form in the division.

Historically, Brighton have also enjoyed recent success against Spurs, including a 4-1 win in North London late last season and a 2-2 draw earlier this campaign. Sitting just two points behind sixth place, Brighton are firmly in the European hunt and arrive with momentum.

Given Tottenham’s defensive issues and Brighton’s attacking rhythm, this matchup points toward goals and potentially another difficult afternoon for the hosts.

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Tottenham Hotspur are currently in poor defensive form, conceding in 9 of their last 10 matches, while still averaging ~1.4 goals scored. Brighton & Hove Albion remain one of the most consistent attacking sides, scoring in 12 consecutive matches but keeping very few clean sheets. With both teams unreliable defensively but productive going forward, BTTS is strongly supported.

Reason for Tip

Hull City games have been consistently open, with BTTS landing in 7 of their last 9, while they concede ~1.5 goals per game. Birmingham City have improved attacking output but still struggle defensively, particularly away. With both teams trending toward goals at both ends, this is a solid BTTS angle.

Reason for Tip

Watford FC have scored in 8 of their last 10 matches but kept very few clean sheets. Sheffield United also trend heavily toward BTTS, conceding regularly while maintaining attacking output. With both teams averaging ~1.3–1.5 goals per game, BTTS is well backed.

Reason for Tip

Both sides show defensive vulnerability, with Northampton conceding in 9 of their last 10, while Doncaster Rovers games frequently land BTTS due to their attacking approach and lack of defensive consistency. With both teams averaging ~1.4 goals conceded, this is a strong BTTS setup.

Reason for Tip

Mansfield Town have been strong going forward, scoring in 10 of their last 11 matches, but rarely keep clean sheets. Luton Town bring higher-level attacking quality but can concede in open games. With both teams carrying goal threat, BTTS is well supported.

Reason for Tip

Leyton Orient have seen BTTS land in 6 of their last 8, while Rotherham United average ~1.5 goals scored and conceded per game. Both teams are involved in open fixtures, making BTTS a strong selection.

Reason for Tip

Wycombe Wanderers games tend to open up, particularly at home, while Blackpool FC are one of the more attack-minded sides but struggle defensively. With both teams regularly scoring and conceding, this profiles well for BTTS.

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Gateshead FC are one of the highest-scoring sides in the National League but concede regularly, while Woking FC also trend toward open matches. With both teams consistently finding the net, BTTS is a strong play.

Reason for Tip

Leeds United come into this in strong momentum, including a huge 2-1 win at Old Trafford recently, showing resilience and attacking threat. Wolverhampton Wanderers sit bottom of the table with just 17 points and have been heavily beaten in recent weeks, including a 4-0 loss to West Ham.
With Leeds pushing clear of the relegation zone and Wolves in freefall, this is one of the strongest home win angles on the slate.

Reason for Tip

Southampton FC are in excellent form, winning 6 straight matches across competitions and scoring freely (including a 3-0 win vs Blackburn). Swansea City sit mid-table and concede ~1.5 goals per game, lacking consistency.
Southampton are also unbeaten in 7 away matches, making this a form + data-backed away win.

Reason for Tip

Wrexham AFC have been strong at home and remain highly competitive, particularly in high-intensity fixtures. Stoke City, by contrast, have struggled for consistency and attacking output away from home. With Wrexham’s home support and attacking efficiency, they hold a slight edge in what is likely a tight game.

Reason for Tip

Plymouth Argyle carry stronger overall squad quality and attacking output, particularly in forward areas. AFC Wimbledon have been inconsistent, especially against higher-quality opposition. Plymouth’s ability to create chances and control phases makes them the stronger selection.

Reason for Tip

Stockport County are one of the standout sides in the division, combining strong attacking numbers with consistency. Exeter City have struggled defensively against top-half sides. Stockport’s form and attacking output make them a strong away pick.

Reason for Tip

Colchester United are inconsistent but generally perform better against lower-table opposition. Harrogate Town have one of the weaker defensive records and concede regularly. This is a matchup-based pick rather than form-based, but Colchester still edge it.

Reason for Tip

Bristol Rovers have shown better attacking output and overall consistency compared to Tranmere Rovers, who have struggled to maintain results. Bristol Rovers’ ability to create chances and score goals gives them the edge away from home.

Reason for Tip

Boreham Wood are the more organised and defensively stable side, while Morecambe FC have struggled for consistency and goals. Boreham Wood’s structure and ability to grind out results make them a solid away selection.

Reason for Tip

Alsakib was running creditably but without success at the tail end of last year. Yard opted for a wind op and it paid dividends as this six year old went on to win in fine style at Musselburgh lto despite saddle slipping and looks a major player today despite penalty. This race isn’t overly warm looking and conditions are well suited for Alsakib. Represents a yard in fine form and has a good jockey aboard in Theo Gillard who has equally found plenty of winners of late. Alsakib remains open to further progress on second start post wind op and looks a very likely winner here.

Reason for Tip

Seven year old Tellherthename moved trainers to the Skeltons prior to lto and was sent straight into the County Hurdle at Cheltenham and finished 12th of 23. Didn’t enjoy the cleanest of runs that day and looks like there will be plenty more to offer as a result of residing with Dan Skelton. Has contested numerous Grade 1s and is capable of a big run and today at Ayr looks a possibility. Will appreciate the soft ground and the slightly sharper trip is a positive. Yard and jockey both in good form and both have very strong records at Ayr at around 30% strikerate. Tellherthename was perhaps a little disappointing lto but there’s a good chance we see a much different run today and looks a big player.

Reason for Tip

Very consistent and highly profitable four year old from the Owen yard who is 5 wins from 6 runs over 7f and was very close to winning over the mile lto when going down a nose. 1lb better off today and has shown nothing that would lead us to believe won’t run another big race. Trip and ground are both fine, one of the most consistent types in the race and further progress still highly likely. Yard don’t have a great record here but they do have a fantastic record generally when Harry Davies is aboard. Harry also very much in form at the moment and is a strong booking. Would not be a surprise to see Rogue Diplomat go in again today.

Reason for Tip

Most unexposed horse in the field with only three starts to his name and makes handicap debut today in a very winnable looking race. Was not disgraced in first two starts but came on nicely lto in October when second to a smart type and is open to plenty of further progress today now handicapping. Has been gelded during the break and that should also assist this youngster in settling. Only real question mark is freshness but yard have a decent win rate with horses returning from a break of 60+ days and so not an obvious negative. Rather weak looking handicap and Influential is taken to exploit that. Big chance.

Reason for Tip

Largely consistent type who came on for the application of cheekpieces last summer when winning over the mile at Ffos Las. Not far away on subsequent starts with form of 342. Returns from absence since August today but does act fresh and shouldn’t be too many cobwebs to blow away today. Well drawn in stall 6, drops back to 7f which isn’t an obvious positive as has been running at 1m2f recently but has looked a little stretched and on the interval timings, a sharper test may suit. Needs to be quick out the blocks and take up a prominent position and if that comes to fruition, may be tough to peg back under a strong ride from Mulrennan who knows how to get the job done at this track. Also represents the trainer who won this race last year and who are currently running at a 21% fortnightly strikerate, no small feat for a smaller yard. Chance.

Reason for Tip

Slightly higher than usual priced NAPs but that’s because the two ahead of this one in the market don’t look quite so promising as Turty Tree. Gosden trained 3yo debutant heads the market and whilst nicely bred, looks vulnerable in this field and the Gosden’s have a terrible record at Newbury. Glory Of The Seas from the Varian stable is a nice looking Sea The Stars Colt who i don’t think wants this sharper trick and again represents a yard with an awful course record and is returning from an absence. Turty Tree is primed and fit after running last month and form of 2-3 so far in warm races is not a bad thing. Has shown elements of being green but the experience of those two runs only helps and looks set for a big run today. Looks an ideal trip on good ground and from a yard who won this race last year and also have a very successful time at this track generally. James Doyle aboard is a strong booking and there’s been no shortage of wins when this combination come together. Turty Tree looks nailed on for a big run whilst there’s question marks over the others and has a good chance of bringing home a nicely priced NAP. Major player.

Arsenal FC have a genuine opportunity to secure a historic Premier League and FA Cup double this season, driven by their consistency, squad depth and tactical maturity. They have maintained one of the best defensive records in the league while also averaging over 2 goals per game, showing a balance that is typically required to win major honours. Arsenal’s ability to control games through midfield dominance, combined with their effectiveness in both open play and set pieces, has made them one of the most complete teams in England. Crucially, they have also shown resilience in big matches, regularly picking up points against top opposition, while their squad rotation has allowed them to compete on multiple fronts without a drop in performance levels. With momentum, confidence and a clear tactical identity, Arsenal are well positioned to sustain a title challenge while also progressing deep into the FA Cup, making the double a realistic and compelling outcome

Reason for Tip

Tottenham Hotspur are now firmly in a relegation battle, sitting just above the bottom three, and their recent form suggests this is not a temporary dip but a sustained decline. They have struggled to pick up wins, with a points-per-game return consistent with teams that typically go down, while defensive issues have seen them concede regularly in key matches. Confidence within the squad appears fragile, and in high-pressure situations they have lacked the resilience needed to grind out results. With momentum a crucial factor at this stage of the season, Spurs are trending in the wrong direction, and if they fail to reverse this form quickly—particularly in must-win fixtures against fellow strugglers—they are at genuine risk of being dragged into the bottom three.

Well drawn in stall 6, drops back to 7f which isn’t an obvious positive as has been running at 1m2f recently but has looked a little stretched and on the interval timings, a sharper test may suit. Needs to be quick out the blocks and take up a prominent position and if that comes to fruition, may be tough to peg back under a strong ride from Mulrennan who knows how to get the job done at this track. Also represents the trainer who won this race last year and who are currently running at a 21% fortnightly strikerate, no small feat for a smaller yard. Chance.

Reason for Tip

Slightly higher than usual priced NAPs but that’s because the two ahead of this one in the market don’t look quite so promising as Turty Tree. Gosden trained 3yo debutant heads the market and whilst nicely bred, looks vulnerable in this field and the Gosden’s have a terrible record at Newbury. Glory Of The Seas from the Varian stable is a nice looking Sea The Stars Colt who i don’t think wants this sharper trick and again represents a yard with an awful course record and is returning from an absence. Turty Tree is primed and fit after running last month and form of 2-3 so far in warm races is not a bad thing. Has shown elements of being green but the experience of those two runs only helps and looks set for a big run today. Looks an ideal trip on good ground and from a yard who won this race last year and also have a very successful time at this track generally. James Doyle aboard is a strong booking and there’s been no shortage of wins when this combination come together. Turty Tree looks nailed on for a big run whilst there’s question marks over the others and has a good chance of bringing home a nicely priced NAP. Major player.

Arsenal FC have a genuine opportunity to secure a historic Premier League and FA Cup double this season, driven by their consistency, squad depth and tactical maturity. They have maintained one of the best defensive records in the league while also averaging over 2 goals per game, showing a balance that is typically required to win major honours. Arsenal’s ability to control games through midfield dominance, combined with their effectiveness in both open play and set pieces, has made them one of the most complete teams in England. Crucially, they have also shown resilience in big matches, regularly picking up points against top opposition, while their squad rotation has allowed them to compete on multiple fronts without a drop in performance levels. With momentum, confidence and a clear tactical identity, Arsenal are well positioned to sustain a title challenge while also progressing deep into the FA Cup, making the double a realistic and compelling outcome

Reason for Tip

Tottenham Hotspur are now firmly in a relegation battle, sitting just above the bottom three, and their recent form suggests this is not a temporary dip but a sustained decline. They have struggled to pick up wins, with a points-per-game return consistent with teams that typically go down, while defensive issues have seen them concede regularly in key matches. Confidence within the squad appears fragile, and in high-pressure situations they have lacked the resilience needed to grind out results. With momentum a crucial factor at this stage of the season, Spurs are trending in the wrong direction, and if they fail to reverse this form quickly—particularly in must-win fixtures against fellow strugglers—they are at genuine risk of being dragged into the bottom three.

Chelsea v Manchester Utd Tips, Predictions and 10/1 Bet Builder

18 April – 20:00 | Premier League | Stamford Bridge

Chelsea v Manchester Utd Preview

Chelsea FC and Manchester United meet at Stamford Bridge in a clash that could significantly impact the race for European qualification.

Liam Rosenior’s bright start at Chelsea feels like a distant memory. After winning his first four Premier League games in charge, the Blues have managed just one win in their last seven league matches (D2 L4). Across all competitions, Chelsea have lost six of their last nine outings — a dramatic downturn in form that has left their Champions League ambitions hanging in the balance.

Last weekend’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City exposed defensive frailties once again, and Chelsea now sit sixth in the table — closer to mid-table than the top four. Alarmingly, they are at risk of losing four consecutive league matches for the first time since 2023.

However, Stamford Bridge has been a stronghold against United in recent years. Chelsea have lost just one of their last 12 home Premier League meetings with the Red Devils (W6 D5), and they will aim to make that home advantage count once again.

Manchester United, meanwhile, suffered a setback in their 2-1 defeat to Leeds at Old Trafford — their first home loss under interim boss Michael Carrick. Despite sitting third, United are wobbling slightly, having lost two of their last four league matches.

Defensively, concerns persist. United have kept just three clean sheets in 13 Premier League games since the turn of the year and have recorded only one shutout in their last 21 away league fixtures — a stat that suggests Chelsea should create opportunities.

With both sides inconsistent and under pressure, this has the feel of an open, high-intensity encounter where goals look likely.

Liverpool FC are still marginal favourites, but this is far from a comfortable pick now. The Reds sit 5th with 52 points, just 5 points ahead of Everton FC in 8th , and recent form is a major concern. Liverpool have lost 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions, averaging just 0.6 goals scored and 2.0 conceded in that run .

In contrast, Everton are in strong form, going 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss in their last 5, and averaging 2.0 goals scored per game . They’ve also won their last two home matches with clean sheets.

However, Liverpool still edge this due to higher attacking ceiling and historical dominance (22 wins in last 40 H2Hs) . This is now a tight, high-risk lean rather than a strong favourite play.

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Virgil van Dijk is a strong aerial threat from set pieces, and this selection is closely tied to Liverpool’s expected corner volume. He averages around 1 shot per game, typically from corners and free kicks, and with Liverpool likely to deliver multiple balls into the box, his chances of testing the goalkeeper increase. With Liverpool also leaning more on set pieces due to attacking inconsistencies, Van Dijk remains a viable but slightly higher-variance pick for a shot on target.

Reason for Tip

AS Roma have been strong at the Stadio Olimpico, where they’ve picked up the majority of their points and maintained a solid defensive record, conceding ~1 goal per game at home. Their structure and game management in big fixtures often give them an edge. Atalanta BC remain dangerous going forward but can be inconsistent away, particularly against organised defensive sides. With Roma’s home advantage and tactical discipline, the home win is a marginal but justified selection.

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Giacomo Raspadori is a consistent attacking outlet, averaging ~2 shots per game and regularly getting efforts on target when playing in advanced roles. His movement between the lines and ability to find space in central areas make him a reliable threat, even in tighter games. Against a Roma defence that can still allow chances, Raspadori is well placed to register at least one shot on target.

Reason for Tip

Brentford FC have been strong at home, averaging ~1.7 goals per game at the Gtech, but remain far from watertight defensively, conceding in 8 of their last 10 matches. Fulham FC are also consistent in attack, scoring in the majority of recent fixtures, but similarly struggle to keep clean sheets. This West London derby historically produces competitive, open games, and with both teams carrying attacking threat but defensive vulnerabilities, the combination of a Brentford win with BTTS is well supported.

Tottenham v Brighton Tips, Predictions and 9/1 Bet Builder

18 April – 17:30 | Premier League | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham v Brighton Preview

Tottenham Hotspur host in-form Brighton & Hove Albion in a high-stakes Premier League encounter with very different pressures on each side.

Tottenham’s start to life under Roberto De Zerbi has been bleak. A 1-0 defeat at Sunderland extended Spurs’ winless league run to 14 matches in 2026, leaving them in the relegation zone with just six games remaining. To make matters worse, captain Cristian Romero has suffered a season-ending knee injury, further weakening an already fragile defence.

Spurs’ home form has been particularly alarming. They have collected just 10 points at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium all season — the worst home record in the division — and have lost 16 league matches overall. While performances have shown minor improvement, results have not followed.

Brighton, meanwhile, are flying. Fabian Hurzeler’s side have won their last three Premier League matches, scoring confidently and keeping clean sheets in each of their last three away victories. With 15 points from their last six games, the Seagulls boast the best recent form in the division.

Historically, Brighton have also enjoyed recent success against Spurs, including a 4-1 win in North London late last season and a 2-2 draw earlier this campaign. Sitting just two points behind sixth place, Brighton are firmly in the European hunt and arrive with momentum.

Given Tottenham’s defensive issues and Brighton’s attacking rhythm, this matchup points toward goals and potentially another difficult afternoon for the hosts.

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Tottenham Hotspur are currently in poor defensive form, conceding in 9 of their last 10 matches, while still averaging ~1.4 goals scored. Brighton & Hove Albion remain one of the most consistent attacking sides, scoring in 12 consecutive matches but keeping very few clean sheets. With both teams unreliable defensively but productive going forward, BTTS is strongly supported.

Reason for Tip

Hull City games have been consistently open, with BTTS landing in 7 of their last 9, while they concede ~1.5 goals per game. Birmingham City have improved attacking output but still struggle defensively, particularly away. With both teams trending toward goals at both ends, this is a solid BTTS angle.

Reason for Tip

Watford FC have scored in 8 of their last 10 matches but kept very few clean sheets. Sheffield United also trend heavily toward BTTS, conceding regularly while maintaining attacking output. With both teams averaging ~1.3–1.5 goals per game, BTTS is well backed.

Reason for Tip

Both sides show defensive vulnerability, with Northampton conceding in 9 of their last 10, while Doncaster Rovers games frequently land BTTS due to their attacking approach and lack of defensive consistency. With both teams averaging ~1.4 goals conceded, this is a strong BTTS setup.

Reason for Tip

Mansfield Town have been strong going forward, scoring in 10 of their last 11 matches, but rarely keep clean sheets. Luton Town bring higher-level attacking quality but can concede in open games. With both teams carrying goal threat, BTTS is well supported.

Reason for Tip

Leyton Orient have seen BTTS land in 6 of their last 8, while Rotherham United average ~1.5 goals scored and conceded per game. Both teams are involved in open fixtures, making BTTS a strong selection.

Reason for Tip

Wycombe Wanderers games tend to open up, particularly at home, while Blackpool FC are one of the more attack-minded sides but struggle defensively. With both teams regularly scoring and conceding, this profiles well for BTTS.

Reason for Tip

Reason for Tip

Gateshead FC are one of the highest-scoring sides in the National League but concede regularly, while Woking FC also trend toward open matches. With both teams consistently finding the net, BTTS is a strong play.

Reason for Tip

Leeds United come into this in strong momentum, including a huge 2-1 win at Old Trafford recently, showing resilience and attacking threat. Wolverhampton Wanderers sit bottom of the table with just 17 points and have been heavily beaten in recent weeks, including a 4-0 loss to West Ham.
With Leeds pushing clear of the relegation zone and Wolves in freefall, this is one of the strongest home win angles on the slate.

Reason for Tip

Southampton FC are in excellent form, winning 6 straight matches across competitions and scoring freely (including a 3-0 win vs Blackburn). Swansea City sit mid-table and concede ~1.5 goals per game, lacking consistency.
Southampton are also unbeaten in 7 away matches, making this a form + data-backed away win.

Reason for Tip

Wrexham AFC have been strong at home and remain highly competitive, particularly in high-intensity fixtures. Stoke City, by contrast, have struggled for consistency and attacking output away from home. With Wrexham’s home support and attacking efficiency, they hold a slight edge in what is likely a tight game.

Reason for Tip

Plymouth Argyle carry stronger overall squad quality and attacking output, particularly in forward areas. AFC Wimbledon have been inconsistent, especially against higher-quality opposition. Plymouth’s ability to create chances and control phases makes them the stronger selection.

Reason for Tip

Stockport County are one of the standout sides in the division, combining strong attacking numbers with consistency. Exeter City have struggled defensively against top-half sides. Stockport’s form and attacking output make them a strong away pick.

Reason for Tip

Colchester United are inconsistent but generally perform better against lower-table opposition. Harrogate Town have one of the weaker defensive records and concede regularly. This is a matchup-based pick rather than form-based, but Colchester still edge it.

Reason for Tip

Bristol Rovers have shown better attacking output and overall consistency compared to Tranmere Rovers, who have struggled to maintain results. Bristol Rovers’ ability to create chances and score goals gives them the edge away from home.

Reason for Tip

Boreham Wood are the more organised and defensively stable side, while Morecambe FC have struggled for consistency and goals. Boreham Wood’s structure and ability to grind out results make them a solid away selection.

Reason for Tip

Alsakib was running creditably but without success at the tail end of last year. Yard opted for a wind op and it paid dividends as this six year old went on to win in fine style at Musselburgh lto despite saddle slipping and looks a major player today despite penalty. This race isn’t overly warm looking and conditions are well suited for Alsakib. Represents a yard in fine form and has a good jockey aboard in Theo Gillard who has equally found plenty of winners of late. Alsakib remains open to further progress on second start post wind op and looks a very likely winner here.

Reason for Tip

Seven year old Tellherthename moved trainers to the Skeltons prior to lto and was sent straight into the County Hurdle at Cheltenham and finished 12th of 23. Didn’t enjoy the cleanest of runs that day and looks like there will be plenty more to offer as a result of residing with Dan Skelton. Has contested numerous Grade 1s and is capable of a big run and today at Ayr looks a possibility. Will appreciate the soft ground and the slightly sharper trip is a positive. Yard and jockey both in good form and both have very strong records at Ayr at around 30% strikerate. Tellherthename was perhaps a little disappointing lto but there’s a good chance we see a much different run today and looks a big player.

Reason for Tip

Very consistent and highly profitable four year old from the Owen yard who is 5 wins from 6 runs over 7f and was very close to winning over the mile lto when going down a nose. 1lb better off today and has shown nothing that would lead us to believe won’t run another big race. Trip and ground are both fine, one of the most consistent types in the race and further progress still highly likely. Yard don’t have a great record here but they do have a fantastic record generally when Harry Davies is aboard. Harry also very much in form at the moment and is a strong booking. Would not be a surprise to see Rogue Diplomat go in again today.

Reason for Tip

Most unexposed horse in the field with only three starts to his name and makes handicap debut today in a very winnable looking race. Was not disgraced in first two starts but came on nicely lto in October when second to a smart type and is open to plenty of further progress today now handicapping. Has been gelded during the break and that should also assist this youngster in settling. Only real question mark is freshness but yard have a decent win rate with horses returning from a break of 60+ days and so not an obvious negative. Rather weak looking handicap and Influential is taken to exploit that. Big chance.

Reason for Tip

Largely consistent type who came on for the application of cheekpieces last summer when winning over the mile at Ffos Las. Not far away on subsequent starts with form of 342. Returns from absence since August today but does act fresh and shouldn’t be too many cobwebs to blow away today. Well drawn in stall 6, drops back to 7f which isn’t an obvious positive as has been running at 1m2f recently but has looked a little stretched and on the interval timings, a sharper test may suit. Needs to be quick out the blocks and take up a prominent position and if that comes to fruition, may be tough to peg back under a strong ride from Mulrennan who knows how to get the job done at this track. Also represents the trainer who won this race last year and who are currently running at a 21% fortnightly strikerate, no small feat for a smaller yard. Chance.

Stockport County are one of the standout sides in the division, combining strong attacking numbers with consistency. Exeter City have struggled defensively against top-half sides. Stockport’s form and attacking output make them a strong away pick.

Reason for Tip

Colchester United are inconsistent but generally perform better against lower-table opposition. Harrogate Town have one of the weaker defensive records and concede regularly. This is a matchup-based pick rather than form-based, but Colchester still edge it.

Reason for Tip

Bristol Rovers have shown better attacking output and overall consistency compared to Tranmere Rovers, who have struggled to maintain results. Bristol Rovers’ ability to create chances and score goals gives them the edge away from home.

Reason for Tip

Boreham Wood are the more organised and defensively stable side, while Morecambe FC have struggled for consistency and goals. Boreham Wood’s structure and ability to grind out results make them a solid away selection.

Reason for Tip

Alsakib was running creditably but without success at the tail end of last year. Yard opted for a wind op and it paid dividends as this six year old went on to win in fine style at Musselburgh lto despite saddle slipping and looks a major player today despite penalty. This race isn’t overly warm looking and conditions are well suited for Alsakib. Represents a yard in fine form and has a good jockey aboard in Theo Gillard who has equally found plenty of winners of late. Alsakib remains open to further progress on second start post wind op and looks a very likely winner here.

Reason for Tip

Seven year old Tellherthename moved trainers to the Skeltons prior to lto and was sent straight into the County Hurdle at Cheltenham and finished 12th of 23. Didn’t enjoy the cleanest of runs that day and looks like there will be plenty more to offer as a result of residing with Dan Skelton. Has contested numerous Grade 1s and is capable of a big run and today at Ayr looks a possibility. Will appreciate the soft ground and the slightly sharper trip is a positive. Yard and jockey both in good form and both have very strong records at Ayr at around 30% strikerate. Tellherthename was perhaps a little disappointing lto but there’s a good chance we see a much different run today and looks a big player.

Reason for Tip

Very consistent and highly profitable four year old from the Owen yard who is 5 wins from 6 runs over 7f and was very close to winning over the mile lto when going down a nose. 1lb better off today and has shown nothing that would lead us to believe won’t run another big race. Trip and ground are both fine, one of the most consistent types in the race and further progress still highly likely. Yard don’t have a great record here but they do have a fantastic record generally when Harry Davies is aboard. Harry also very much in form at the moment and is a strong booking. Would not be a surprise to see Rogue Diplomat go in again today.

Reason for Tip

Most unexposed horse in the field with only three starts to his name and makes handicap debut today in a very winnable looking race. Was not disgraced in first two starts but came on nicely lto in October when second to a smart type and is open to plenty of further progress today now handicapping. Has been gelded during the break and that should also assist this youngster in settling. Only real question mark is freshness but yard have a decent win rate with horses returning from a break of 60+ days and so not an obvious negative. Rather weak looking handicap and Influential is taken to exploit that. Big chance.

Reason for Tip

Largely consistent type who came on for the application of cheekpieces last summer when winning over the mile at Ffos Las. Not far away on subsequent starts with form of 342. Returns from absence since August today but does act fresh and shouldn’t be too many cobwebs to blow away today. Well drawn in stall 6, drops back to 7f which isn’t an obvious positive as has been running at 1m2f recently but has looked a little stretched and on the interval timings, a sharper test may suit. Needs to be quick out the blocks and take up a prominent position and if that comes to fruition, may be tough to peg back under a strong ride from Mulrennan who knows how to get the job done at this track. Also represents the trainer who won this race last year and who are currently running at a 21% fortnightly strikerate, no small feat for a smaller yard. Chance.

Reason for Tip

Slightly higher than usual priced NAPs but that’s because the two ahead of this one in the market don’t look quite so promising as Turty Tree. Gosden trained 3yo debutant heads the market and whilst nicely bred, looks vulnerable in this field and the Gosden’s have a terrible record at Newbury. Glory Of The Seas from the Varian stable is a nice looking Sea The Stars Colt who i don’t think wants this sharper trick and again represents a yard with an awful course record and is returning from an absence. Turty Tree is primed and fit after running last month and form of 2-3 so far in warm races is not a bad thing. Has shown elements of being green but the experience of those two runs only helps and looks set for a big run today. Looks an ideal trip on good ground and from a yard who won this race last year and also have a very successful time at this track generally. James Doyle aboard is a strong booking and there’s been no shortage of wins when this combination come together. Turty Tree looks nailed on for a big run whilst there’s question marks over the others and has a good chance of bringing home a nicely priced NAP. Major player.
