Racing tips: Sunday, Aug 17 – Deauville, Pontefract, Southwell
Ron Wood's selections NAP: Rosallion (2.50, Deauville) 1pt win @ SP with Tote ⭐⭐⭐ Next best: Mr Lightside (4.12, Pontefract) 1pt win @ SP with Tote ⭐⭐ Other: Philanthropist (4.22, Southwell) 1pt win @ SP with Tote ⭐⭐ Odds provided by Tote and correct at the time of writing. Stars denote strength of selection (max 5). If you already have a Tote account, check out more free bets from the UK's best betting sites, reviewed by our experts 2.50 Deauville – Prix Jacques le Marois (1m, Group 1; Sky Sports Racing) There's top-level action from France and ROSALLION has good claims. He's a three-time Group 1 winner, one of those coming in France as a two-year-old and the other two over this trip last term. Although Richard Hannon's colt has been beaten three times this season, he looked as good as ever when finishing second in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood on his latest start. The 150/1 pacemaker Qirat was given too big a head start and Rosallion was the only one to get near him, being beaten just a neck and finishing over two lengths clear of a smart type in third-placed Henri Matisse. As for his rivals, The Lion In Winter is open to improvement now stepping back up in trip and is feared a little, but he isn't straightforward (headstrong and has looked a bit awkward under pressure) and he doesn't seem to have the gears of Rosallion. Bet £10 and get £50 in bonuses for new Tote customers 4.12 Pontefract – Class 3 Handicap (5f; Racing TV) MR LIGHTSIDE has been disappointing since finishing a smart second at Chelmsford on his seasonal reappearance in April, when he was beaten by the subsequent Group 3 winner Sayidah Dariyan and had Sky Majesty, who has scored in Listed company since, behind in third. However, Mick Appleby's runner has been keeping decent company, most recently showing speed from a wide draw before fading in a Class 2 handicap over 6f at Wolverhampton. He's now down in grade and trip, plus a tongue-tie is added, and he may be able to dominate this small-field contest from stall two, so he could cash in on a much-reduced handicap mark. Already have a Tote account? Check out more free bets from the UK's best betting sites, reviewed by our experts 4.22 Southwell – Class 4 Handicap (7f; Sky Sports Racing) PHILANTHROPIST hasn't progressed since winning a handicap over course and distance on his seasonal return, when he defeated Prince Of India, who won three of his next four starts and has since gone up 27lb. However, this will be Philanthropist's first start on the all-weather since then – and he's 2-2 on artificial surfaces. James Fanshawe's runner drops back in trip and comes into this off a seven-week break, which is probably a good thing remembering that he won on his reappearance, so there are a few reasons to like him. When is the next big horse racing festival? The next big one is the Ebor Festival at York and it starts this coming Wednesday – it's a four-day fixture concluding on Saturday. The headline race, the Ebor, is a valuable 1m 6f handicap on Saturday. There are also four Group 1 contests, the showpiece being the 1m 2f Juddmonte International on Wednesday. The Eclipse 1-2, Delacroix and Ombudsman, head the betting for what looks like a fascinating rematch. The other Group 1s are the 1m 4f Yorkshire Oaks (Thursday), the 5f Nunthorpe Stakes (Friday) and the 7f City of York Stakes (Saturday), which is upgraded to top-level status for the first time. What does NAP mean? NAP is a word used in betting circles to describe a horse that a tipster thinks has a particularly strong chance of winning. Many horse racing tipsters pick out a 'NAP of the day', which is their favoured selection from all the races across the different meetings. The term NAP derives from the French card game Napoleon. When players of this game thought they had a particularly strong hand, they would shout 'Napoleon'.

Jockey, 17, jokes he'll quit undefeated after beating Patrick Mullins on first ride
Jamie Martin's horse Alaskan View finished ahead of the Mullins-ridden favourite Highland Realm in the Majestic Hotel INH Flat Race at Tramore on Friday evening A teenage debutant joked he'd 'retire with a 100 per cent strike rate' after beating Patrick Mullins' horse in a flat race at Tramore. Jamie Martin made the perfect start to his career when his family's horse Alaskan View was the most straightforward in the 2m½f event at the Irish circuit. The 17-year-old had interchanged the lead with Mullins' mount Highland Realm but teenager Martin took advantage when the rival horse appeared to jump a section of the track and lose concentration. There was just half-a-length between them at the line and Martin was delighted to have mastered Grand National-winning jockey Mullins, a 17-time champion amateur rider. Martin smiled: "The plan was if I won this I'd retire with a 100 per cent strike rate but I think I'll have to keep on going!" Highland Realm is from the family of Mullins' former smart dual purpose thoroughbred Wicklow Brave, who took the 2015 County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, 2016 Irish St Leger and 2017 Punchestown Champion Hurdle. Mullins was on-board for the last of the three big wins and the ten-year-old was on-course to add the American Grand National to his record in 2019 when he sadly suffered an injury at the final hurdle. Sent off the 2-5 favourite on his first racecourse appearance, Highland Realm kept on well to press Alaskan View at the finish. But it was school pupil Martin's day and it was a real family affair as the mare was trained by his grandfather Willie and led up by his father Mick. In the same contest, Pat Breen finished third on Lord Lackendarra and his daughter Sarah was sixth on Goodmancon. Martin junior told Racing TV: "I'm just so grateful to have the likes of my father and grandfather to give me the opportunity. My brother didn't want me on the horse, but my Dad had his way. I thought I was dreaming for a second. "I was talking to a few of the lads inside and I thought I was going to be making it, but there was a bit of competition for the lead and there was three horses upsides for nearly whole first round. I was tanking along so I let Alaskan View off in front. She travelled along beautifully and heard Patrick (Mullins) coming near, but lengthened out unreal. "I thought I was going to fall off near the end but I made it! I looked across and said to Patrick 'Did I win or not?"

Man Utd vs Arsenal prediction, team news & bet builder tips
Both teams to score and Manchester United to win - 6/1 Bet365 Bryan Mbuemo to score - 17/5 BetVictor Manchester United kick off their Premier League season on Sunday, taking on Arsenal in the late kick-off, as they look to make a huge improvement on last season. The Red Devils, who have won the title 20 times, finished 15th in May, 32 points behind Sunday's opponents and 42 behind the Champions Liverpool, which is the same as the number of points they picked up from their 38 games. Boss Ruben Amorim only took charge in November, and it was anything but a dream start to life at Old Trafford, winning just 16 of his 42 games in charge, but after spending just shy of £200m, he will be confident of a huge improvement this time around. The Gunners would also love an improvement on their league position after finishing as runners-up for the last three seasons; the last time they bettered that was back in 2003/04, when they won the last of their 13 league titles. United have actually been champions more recently, winning their last title back in 2012/13. Mikel Arteta has spent a similar amount as Amorim, bringing in five players, including strikers Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres, who he hopes can take them to the next step. Gyokeres was long linked with a move to Old Trafford to link up with his former Sporting manager, but instead, after scoring 57 goals in 49 appearances last season, he joined Arsenal for £64m. Man Utd vs Arsenal tips: United to get off to a flying start According to the Premier League winner odds, Arsenal are second favourites behind Liverpool, while United are fifth in the betting behind City and Chelsea. You can also get 15/4 on United finishing in the Premier League top four odds, while the Gunners are 1/5. The first game of the season is always hard to predict, but this is the perfect fixture for both sides to see where they're at. United have lost just two of their last 18 home league games against Arsenal, winning 10 and drawing six; however, both of those defeats have occurred since Arteta took charge. A win on Sunday would be the Reds' 100th over Arsenal in all competitions. They have met 243 times with United winning 99, Arsenal 89 and 55 draws, and a victory this weekend would make them the first ever team to beat Arsenal 100 times. Football betting sites have installed Arsenal as favourites, while United are home underdogs in the latest Premier League odds. The visitors have scored in each of their last 11 away league games at Old Trafford, which could make a compelling case for targeting a score draw. An even bolder bet would be to take the 6/1 odds on both teams to score and United to win. United's biggest issue last season was scoring goals with just 44 league goals but the signing of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko should certainly fix that problem. Man Utd vs Arsenal betting: Mbeumo to shine on debut Former Brentford striker Mbeumo scored the first goal in 10 different games last season, on his way to scoring 21 goals for club and country, including against Arsenal in a 3-1 defeat. He also scored in the first minute in two consecutive games against Tottenham and West Ham, and he would no doubt love to get his United career off to a flying start. Betting sites are offering 10/1 on him doing it again on Sunday, you can also get 11/1 on him scoring last, but we like the price for him to score anytime on his Old Trafford bow. Man Utd vs Arsenal prediction 2: Bryan Mbuemo to score anytime - 17/5 BetVictor Man Utd vs Arsenal team news Man Utd vs Arsenal betting offers Betfred are offering existing customers the chance to claim £10 in free bets after placing a £10 bet builder on Man Utd vs Arsenal or any Premier League match across the opening weekend of the season. To qualify bettors must opt-in on the promotion before placing a £10 bet builder before kick-off on your selected game. Your bet builder must contain three selections or more and odds of 3/1 or greater. Once your qualifying wager has settled, your account will be credited with a £10 free bet to use on a bet builder. Free bets are active until 11.59pm on August 23. Please gamble responsibly When having a bet, it's vital to practice responsible gambling. Betting can be addictive and it's important to stay in control of your betting. Never treat gambling as a way to make money, never bet more than you can afford and when the fun stops, stop. Gambling sites offer punters tools, like deposit limits, profit and loss trackers and self-exclusion options, to help them stay in control. But if you ever feel like you need help or advice on gambling addiction, don't hesitate to contact one of the charities or organisations below.
