Olympic stuff 26 July
Olympic match of the day
Yes, I know it hasn’t started yet but there is more football action tomorrow, this time from the men’s tournament. There is added interest this year as Great Britain has entered a team for the first time since Pontius was a pilot. The last time that the Olympics were held in this country was back in 1948. Matt Busby managed our team back then so it is fitting that are first game takes place at Old Trafford, where Senegal are the opponents.
Elsewhere two of the favourites Brazil and Spain are in action against Egypt and Honduras respectively.
Olympic stuff
Olympic match of the day
Although the Olympics haven’t actually started yet the football competition does get under way tomorrow ahead of the opening ceremony.
It is a case of ladies first as the women’s competition kicks off tomorrow with action at Cardiff, Coventry and Glasgow. Team GB entertain New Zealand and we will need to get off to a winning start as we also have Brazil to contend with in our group along with Cameroon.
The other big game is up at Glasgow where the USA, who have a great record at the Olympics take on one of the stronger European challengers in France.

4.00 It might be worth giving Eshtibaak another chance as he may have been a shade unlucky on his last run.
5.05 Mass Rally is probably well handicapped but is difficult to win with. He should be in the mix though and at 14/1 has an each way chance.

3.20 Haydock winner Montaser has risen in the handicap for that success but there may be more improvement to come.
3.55 Mac’s Power and Top Cop are interesting at the odds. Mac’s Power is the selection.
Haydock
3.05 It might be worth taking a chance with Pea Shooter who is dropped in class.
Newmarket
6.45 Amadeus Wolfe Tone was runner up last time and the 3rd horse has won since.
Pontefract
7.45 Singeur has a chance here. He goes well fresh and as long as the ground is not on the soft side should give us a run for our money.
9.10 The consistent Secret City has an each way chance.

7.35 Fanrouge is a course specialist and at around 8/1 looks value.
Epsom
8.50 Jumeirah Palm Star would have a chance on polytrack form.
