Tonight’s Arsenal v Man U match looks too tight to call, with the draw being backed into 23/10. Manchester are 2/7 to qualify for the final, but the value must lie with Arsenal at 3/1 in a tie that could go either way.

Tonight’s card at Peterborough is live on Sky Sports 2, with the feature race off at 9:45pm.

3/1 Barnfield Rocky

Should be sent off the favourite and can be forgiven his third to Freedom Obama in Heat 6. At the odds I prefer Droopys Alvaro, but he can at least withstand the charge of Westmead Grant at 4/6 with Sky Bet.

5/1 Westmead Carl

Couldn’t land a blow in the semi-final, despite being drawn in Trap 1.

10/3 Droopys Alvaro

Bet365 have recently cut their 7/2 about Droopys Alvaro, but Skybet are taking him on at 10/3. The local runner will probably be sent off at shorter odds, so get your money on now. The draw isn’t a concern but he’ll need to break quickly.

Sharon Sabreton will have him primed for a big run and you shouldn’t read into the face that Mountjoy Jasper‘s semi final win came in a marginally quicker time.

5/1 Mountjoy Jasper

Beat Freedom Obama by eight lengths on his semi-final, but surely he won’t be able to make all of the running from Trap 4. Passed over, but could run into second place.

16/1 Freedom Obama

No form to suggest that he even has an each-way chance. Rank outsider.

7/2 Westmead Grant

Beat Droopys Alvaro by a head in Heat 3, but will find it difficult breaking from Trap 6. Barnfield Rocky should confirm the semi-final form, when the two dogs broke from the same traps as tonight.

Well bred, out of Mega Delight.

Recommendation:

2pts win @ 3/1 Droopys Alvaro (Stan James, Victor Chandler, Bet365)
