‘Coral will certainly be trimming their 6/1 on Arsenal to win the cup.’ The best that you can find this morning is 9/2!

Arsenal dazzled Wigan 3-0 last night, but Manchester United needed a Carlos Tevez penalty to beat QPR. Tonight’s feature match is Tottenham v Liverpool, where punters are ploughing money into Harry Redknapp‘s side. Spurs were 2/1 yesterday, but are 13/8 at the moment. To give you an idea about the betting mood, Blue Square have a special makret for ‘When will Tottenham lose their first match under Harry Redknapp?’

Our attention turns towards the dogs tonight, the William Hill All England Cup Final in particular. The race is 1 of 8 to be televised on Sky Sports 3 tonight. bookies.com are giving you a trap by trap guide to the feature race at 9.45pm.

Sky Sports 3 – 9.45pm – WILLIAM HILL ALL ENGLAND CUP FINAL

1. 8/1 Eye Onthe Brave

Trap 1 has had a 40% strike rate in the big race, so you wouldn’t bet against Eye Onthe Brave. He was impressive when he got the better of Affleck Elite and has posted some nippy times. At 8/1, he could be the one to trouble the favourite.

2. 11/10 Boherna Best 

Favourites have won 50% of the runnings and Bonhera Best is certainly a worthy one. He has not stopped improving and see the trip out well. He has the early pace and should lead off the first bend. On course punters will be hoping that he can add another piece of silverware to his bulging cabinet.

3. 25/1 Coolavanny Smoke

Only 2 of the last 10 winners returned odds bigger than 5/2 and it is easy to discount this long shot.

4. 7/4 Dotland Hit Man

He did well in the semis to beat Trap 1, but I’d rather take the latter in a match bet. Dotland Hit Man has been inconsistent and will find it difficult to find a good position into the first bend. A definite threat to the favourite if everything falls into place, but I won’t be taking any 7/4.

5. 12/1 Eye Onthe Pulse

Mark Wallis prefers the chances of Eye Onthe Brave, so a win would come as a great surprise.Traps 3 and 5 haven’t produced a winner in over 10 years.

6.10/1 Droopys Carvalho

Won the Sussex Cup in July and even reached the Yarmouth Derby decider. Still, he was beaten by comprehensively by the favourite last time out, so you wouldn’t back this one in a match bet.The trainer is hopeful for a big run, coming from off the pace.

Recommendation:

1pt ew 8/1 Eye Onthe Brave
