ALL VIEWS ARE MY OWNAs I write I am awaiting a reply from the BHA regarding a YouTube video recorded by the Bar Stewards at Thirsk (link here https://x.com/barstewardsthe/status/1911729332168409096?s=12&t=ERYQID_jIu8mTBUWnAFnrA) in the vain hope that someone misjudged when April Fools’ Day was this year – but I won’t hold my breath.

As you know I rarely bet in handicaps for sensible reasons, but I was very taken with the recent victories of Berkshire Whisper, one of three runners here for Andrew Balding who won the race last season with the well-supported Fire Demon. Oisin Murphy rides the Dark Angel colt who was second on debut before going one better at Kempton, and then here at Newcastle over course and distance when he was sent clear for a two and a half length success.

All-weather action only this Friday afternoon (not so “good” after all), and my two bets will be out the way bright and early starting with then 1.15pm at Newcastle. This may be over a mile on the Tapeta and not the turf, but I would not be shocked in the slightest if the winner went on to compete at a much higher level – possibly even a classic or two, here or abroad.

Michael van Gerwen is hoping a return to home soil can inspire his revival when the BetMGM Premier League season continues in Rotterdam on Thursday evening. The Rotterdam Ahoy will play host to Night 11 of this year’s roadshow on April 17, as Dutch superstar Van Gerwen prepares to take centre stage. The seven-time Premier League champion is currently outside the Play-Off positions on legs difference, having only progressed to a solitary nightly final across the opening ten weeks.

With heavy rain ruining the going at Newmarket my first bet this afternoon runs at Cheltenham – who would have thought that in mid-April? Willie Mullins still has his eyes on the Trainers’ title and although I remain wary that none of his horses here would have originally been targeted at these races (more of an afterthought), I will still be backing Saint Tartare in the 3.55pm.

At Ripon they are currently expecting good ground (fingers crossed) and that may be ideal for the likes of the Jack Channon trained Last Shamardal, who is looking for his hat-trick after wins over six furlongs at Newcastle and seven furlongs at Wolverhampton. He steps up another furlong today but wasn’t stopping last time out, seeing it out all the way to the line, and as a son of Shaman, there is every reason to hope he will be even better on the grass.

World Champion Luke Littler will headline a star-studded line-up when the World Series of Darts resumes with events in Copenhagen, New York and Gliwice later this summer. Following back-to-back events in Bahrain and Den Bosch in January, the World Series of Darts returns with the Mr Vegas Nordic Darts Masters in Copenhagen on June 6-7. Each World Series event will see a 16-player field competing over two days of action, with eight PDC superstars locking horns with eight regional representatives.

Jonny Clayton produced one of the most dominant Players Championship campaigns in recent memory to clinch his first PDC ranking title of the year in Rosmalen. Clayton dispatched German newcomer Dominik Gruellich 8-2 in Tuesday’s Players Championship 14 showpiece, averaging 109.68 to secure the seventh Players Championship title of his career. The Welsh number one produced ton-plus averages in six of his seven matches at the Autotron, conceding just 11 legs across the course of the afternoon.

To my own amazement my second suggestion today run over hurdles at Cheltenham when I am expecting big things from top-weight Casa No Mento. The Nigel Twiston-Davies trained seven-year-old was last seen winning by an easy 16 lengths over fences at Bangor, but she reverts to hurdles here and has the benefit of Finn Lambert in the saddle.

Lots of top class racing for a Wednesday afternoon and I have had the chance to be picky before deciding on our two bets – here’s hoping I made the right choices!Newmarket is interesting but I have seen too many shocks among the three-year-olds lately so I will start at Beverley instead. Equity Law catches my eye as an each way opportunity in the 2.15pm, though we are risking his race fitness after 214 days off the track.
