Andy Holding Selection for 14:10 Sedgefield
ENLIGHTEN (NAP) ran out a ready winner over today’s C&D two starts ago and even though he failed in his bid to follow up at Newcastle, his speed figure in finishing a creditable second suggests he’s well worth keeping on side on his return to the Durham track.
A fine third here back in December, the valuable knowledge he gained clearly stood him in good stead when he came back to the sharp, left-handed circuit a month later and it was noticeable how strong he was in the finish that day. Up a grade to Class 4 company last time out, David and Mick Easterby’s gelding was unlucky to bump into a horse who clearly was well-treated off a mark of 117, but with the pair well clear in a slick time figure for a race of its kind, he came out of the race at the Gosforth Park venue was a gold star on his chart. Clearly well-suited by a strongly run two miles, the presence of the likes of Spiritofthenorth and Lou Trek should provide the eight-year-old with the perfect platform for him to run to maximum capacity and at his favourable morning odds, he deserves to be played accordingly.

George Gamble Selection for Liverpool vs Manchester United
Liverpool have scored nine goals in their last two matches with Manchester United and you could argue that the visitors are at an all-time low. They look all over the place and struggled to overcome bottom side Norwich City at Old Trafford over the weekend, relying on a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick to seal a 3-2 victory.
To combat this Liverpool outfit you need energy in the midfield and an organised backline, something which this Manchester United side simply doesn’t possess right now. If Liverpool are even at 80% of their best, they could put a heavy beating on the ‘Red Devils’ but it wouldn’t surprise me if the visitors are able to nick a goal themselves.
There have been at least four goals scored in all of Liverpool's last four games as well as in both previous meetings between these two clubs. I’ll have another point on over 3.5 goals here.
