20:15 Wolverhampton

Andy Holding Selection for 20:15 Wolverhampton

ABNAA (NAP) (best price 11-2) has only won a quarter of his 32 races, so he’s never one for maximum stakes, but there were signs here last time that he’s not too far away from win number five and at the morning prices, a chance is taken on Anthony Brittain’s gelding producing the goods.

Amazingly, the son of Dark Angel has had 13 starts since the turn of the year, but he’s still managing to run to a decent standard and there is a good case to be argued that he might have landed a seven-furlong handicap here two weeks ago with a clear run. Held up towards the rear – which is often the case – the five-year-old was noted going extremely strongly turning for home, but from that point onwards he ran into the equivalent of rush hour traffic on a Friday evening and he ended up finishing hard on the bridle just behind the main players. Clearly still in a decent shape on the evidence of that display, he now goes back over a trip that arguably suits him best and based on his overall record at tonight’s track and career speed figures, he looks one of the more overpriced runners in the line-up.

George Gamble Selection for Real Madrid vs Chelsea

Thomas Tuchel’s men make the trip to the Spanish Capital and they’ll be hoping that they can pull off a miracle as they look to overturn the 3-1 deficit from the first leg. The ‘Blues’ were put to the sword at Stamford Bridge as Karim Benzema notched himself a hat-trick and helped ‘Los Blancos’ take a step towards a place in the semi-final.

If there’s one person that personifies the term ‘getting better with age’ then it’s Karim Benzema. He’s been utterly phenomenal throughout Real Madrid’s Champions League (UCL) campaign so far, scoring hat-tricks against both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side were able to follow up that first-leg victory by earning a win over Getafe at the weekend - a result that ensured their 12 point lead at the top of La Liga remains intact. However, as they prepare for the return fixture, they’ll be fully aware that Chelsea are going to throw the gauntlet at them but they’ll be confident they can pen them back, especially as they have found the back of the net in eight of their nine UCL games so far.

The visitors bounced back with a bang as they thumped Southampton 6-0 on Saturday and now their attention turns to creating a memorable night in Madrid. It’s a tall order, especially considering they could be without Romelu Lukaku, Callum Hudson-Odoi and captain Cesar Azpilicueta. As such, Kai Havertz will likely be deployed in his usual attacking berth alongside fellow countryman Timo Werner. The hammering of Southampton will have done wonders for their confidence and considering Chelsea registered 20 shots in the first leg and need to go for it, both teams getting on the scoresheet makes appeal.
