Andy Holding & George Gamble's Horse Racing & Football Double

Andy Holding's NAP Selection (15:35 Ascot)

ENEMY (NAP) (best price 4/1) may not have the sexy profile of some of his more well-known rivals, but he does arrive here in spankingly good form courtesy of his demolition job at Musselburgh last time out and, with the strong possibility of even more to come, Ian Williams’ inmate can make the transition in to a Group-race performer a seamless one.

Campaigned mainly over a mile for previous French connections, the son of Muhaarar was significantly upped in trip on his second start out in the desert during the winter and despite being extremely tardy out of the gates along with not receiving a clear run down the home straight, he managed to finish a creditable fourth behind one of the potential global stars in the staying division in the shape of Manobo.

Back on home soil for his latest assignment at the Scottish venue 11 days ago, the five-year-old gelding once again found himself at the back of the field following another slow beginning, but despite given his rivals a significant early advantage, he still came through in powerful fashion to score with plenty in hand. Additionally, he also clocked a pretty impressive speed figure in the process and with his hold-up style tailor made for how races often pan out on the round track at the Berkshire venue, it wouldn’t come as the biggest shock in the world if he were to double his tally at today’s

George Gamble's Selection for Liverpool vs Villarreal 

Etienne Capoue is a name that will be familiar to many after his time in England with Watford. The defensive midfielder has been at the heart of the Villarreal midfield this campaign and is not shy when it comes to taking a yellow card for his team.

The Frenchman has picked up eight yellow cards across all competitions this campaign and he is going to be the man looking to break up Liverpool's midfield play. He’s likely to be battling with Thiago for supremacy of the midfield and he’s going to have to get stuck in early to disrupt the flow of the match.

An opposition midfielder has been booked in three of Liverpool’s Champions League home games this season and Capoue looks to be the most likely candidate to give Szymon Marciniak a decision to make.

He’s a healthy price of 5/2 to be shown a card and I think that’s a little high given the calibre of opposition he’s going to be up against.
