Horse Racing Betting Tips: All I’m asking is for a little Respect in Betway Bowl April 3, 2019 ASK ANYBODY on the street to name one horse race and you can be pretty sure the vast majority will say the Grand National. There is no race quite like it, but Aintree have done a great job to make the rest of the Randox Health Grand National Festival so popular. Fun is the name [...]
David Pipe looks at the chances of his Aintree team April 3, 2019 WE said goodbye to a couple of our stable stars earlier this week when we retired former Cheltenham Festival winners Un Temps Pour Tout and Moon Racer.

Horse Racing Betting Tips: Supasundae the each-way play against Buveur April 3, 2019 AS LONG as he is none the worse for his early fall in last month’s Unibet Champion Hurdle, Buveur D’Air should take all the beating in this afternoon’s Betway Aintree Hurdle (3.25pm). It was the first time in 21 starts under rules that Nicky Henderson’s eight-year-old has ended up on the floor and I suppose [...]

Football Betting Tips: Back West Ham can earn sweet victory at home to Toffees March 28, 2019 THEY say there’s no place like home and after a couple of transitional seasons West Ham have once again found theirs. It’s safe to say the move from Upton Park to the London Stadium went less than smoothly but under the tutelage of Manuel Pellegrini, their new home has become a tough place for sides [...]
Football Betting Tips: Fresher Liverpool to extend Spurs’ poor away run March 28, 2019 WHILE it’s been less than two weeks, for many it seems an eternity since we’ve had any Premier League action. Yes, England got their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign off to the best possible start, but the league is what most are concerned with and it’s back with a bang this weekend. The standout fixture is [...]
David Pipe looks ahead to the Grand National March 28, 2019 AS THIS weekend is pretty quiet on the jumping front, it’s a good opportunity to look ahead to next Saturday’s Grand National. It’s a race we won back in 2008 with Comply Or Die and I’d obviously love to win it again. I don’t remember that day much as it remains a bit of a [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Castle can cap a Dream night for Godolphin March 28, 2019 THERE is a mouth-watering $35million up for grabs across eight races at Meydan racecourse tomorrow afternoon, culminating in the showpiece Dubai World Cup (4.40pm).
