Afternoon Mr T.

Raonic down to 5/4. Another slice sir?

Regarding Lewis Hamilton, another way to get with him is to back him for SPOTY. Currently he is 10-1 in several places, and 14-1 with 365 and winner. Favourite in the market is Andy Murray who will have to have another back operation soon if he is to have any chance, and 2nd fav is the skeleton woman!

its a long way out for a person who is very much marmite. Ddn't win it the year he won the WDC either

Like Rosberg e/w. spoilsports go 9/2 1/5.

Best I can get is 4/1, that any good?

redarmi's call.

I bet 4-1 so yeah I like it at that.

You can't get Boylesports?

The New One heads the betting for the 2015 Champion Hurdle after finishing an unlucky third behind Jezki on Tuesday.

Trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies, the six-year-old suffered interference when Our Conor suffered a fatal fall but rallied superbly to be beaten under three lengths at the line.

My Tent Or Yours also ran superbly to finish second, beaten a neck, but all three could have their work cut out to beat Vautour should he be kept to hurdling next season.

Trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by Ruby Walsh, the five-year-old produced an electric performance to win the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle by six lengths and joins the first three home in the Champion at the top of the market for next year's renewal.

Unsurprisingly, there are mixed views between the layers but The New One is favourite at a general 6/1 and as short as 4/1 with Coral, who also make Jezki 4/1 compared to William Hill's 7/1.

My Tent Or Yours is 7/1 with both bet365 and William Hill, while Vautour is no bigger than Paddy Power's 8/1 and this year's sponsors, Stan James, actually bet 5/1 each of four.

Sky Bet offer 6/1 about all four horses and their Michael Shinners said: "It's hard to split the three main protagonists from this year's race based on Tuesday's evidence and Vautour looked to be potentially from the top drawer when winning the Sky Bet Supreme."

The Supreme winner may well prove an able substitute for Hurricane Fly, who found precious little for pressure to finish a well-beaten fourth having been sent off favourite for the Champion and is 16/1 to win back his crown next year, when he'll be 11 years of age.

However, those wishing to back Vautour must also consider the possibility that he's sent chasing, and William Hill make him a 7/1 chance for the 2015 Arkle Trophy compared to the 9/2 offered by Stan James.

This year's renewal went the way of 33/1 outsider Western Warhorse, who touched 999/1 in-running on Betfair before battling to victory over Champagne Fever.

BetVictor aren't totally convinced by the performance of the winner, whose future may lie over further, and make him 25/1 for the 2015 Queen Mother Champion Chase which is a standout price.

Champagne Fever ranges from the 6/1 offered by Stan James to William Hill's 12/1, but again it's possible he'll be campaigned over further and Friday's revised 2015 Gold Cup market may prove more relevant.

Mullins' successful day continued when he saddled a one-two in the OLBG Mares' Hurdle, with 8/11 favourite Quevega winning the race for a record-breaking sixth year in succession.

William Hill offer 3/1 that she makes it seven next year and their Jon Ivan-Duke said: "Quevega is one of the greatest mares ever to grace Prestbury Park and she has set a record that may never be beaten."

Hi tomsom,

It is different for every bookmaker. Let me know which bookmakers and I will try to help

Thanks a lot.  The one I was looking for actually appeared about an hour after the race had finished.  I have since butchered it!!!

Thanks for any potential future help though, I will let you know if I have any further difficulties.

Has Mr Claisse mentioned the "w" word yet?

Looking ahead to Cheltenham tomorrow, Sire De Grugy is currently a best price of 3/1 for the feature race, the BetVictor Queen Mother Champion Chase.

A further Cheltenham price update - Coral have just announced they are going 4/1 about Sire De Grugy winning the Champion Chase from 0830 GMT.

The maximum stake will be £20 and the offer will onyl be available for "a limited time".

Captain Conan has attracted cash today and is now no bigger than 5/1.

Many firms have tonight gone up with five places in their each-way terms for the 28-runner Coral Cup.

In addition, several bet to four places in the Weatherby's Champion Bumper, while Hill's go four in the RSA Chase.

Sky Bet will refund losing bets as a free bet (up to £25) if the favourite, currently Faugheen, wins the opening race, the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner has predicted that Mercedes could win this weekend's season-opening Australian GP by two clear laps.

With the World Champions enduring a torrid winter after failing to extract either pace or reliability from the brittle RB10 and, in sharp contrast, the Mercedes W05 consistently impressing throughout pre-season testing, the Silver Arrows team have arrived in Melbourne as the clear favourites to prevail as the sport embarks on a slate-cleaning new era of turbo engines and ambitious energy recovery systems.

Horner's declaration midway through the first Bahrain test that Mercedes were favourites to prosper was dismissed by Lewis Hamilton's as F1's version of mind games, but Horner is adamant that the Brackley team could be driving in a different league to the rest of the field on race day this Sunday.

"You could see a higher level of domination than we had last year," he told The Daily Mail. "Looking at Mercedes' race simulation, it wouldn't be a surprise if they finished two laps ahead of everyone in Melbourne. They have a massive advantage. What we know about Lewis is that he is extremely talented and naturally fast. And he's in a good team, so he's probably got to be the favourite going into the season."

There is no way a merc will win by two laps, they may win and get the top eight places as an engine manufacturer but the new fuel regs and the risk of mechanical failure will mean they turn the engine down and spend the last ten laps with their fingers crossed.

Bottas E/w at 16s is my personal pick

T20 World Cup is going to be exactly the same

Slow dry wickets, teams open the bowling with spinners

the teams that struggle against spin (England but also SA, NZ etc) will lose early wickets and numbers 5-7 will be priced at 8-1 plus

Biggest cricket sub market inefficiency I have seen in ages, for the right teams/games

Arsenal had their substitutes sorted...before realising one of them isn't registered in the Champions League squad.
