Top Sport Despite the Weather

Only Punchestown has survived the weather in the British Isles but there's plenty for sports fans to savour with Chelsea playing Manchester United in the Premier League, and Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis.

StanJames.com spokesman Rory Jiwani says, "The Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants is the big sporting event of the weekend. We're expecting a high-scoring game with top quarterbacks Tom Brady and Eli Manning going head-to-head, and both teams far from solid when it comes to defending against the pass.

"We make the Patriots 4/6 favourites with the Giants 6/5 to stage a repeat of their win over the Pats four years ago. The Giants are 4/5 with a three-point start on the handicap with the Patriots even money."

"Stan James are also going top price on all first touchdown scorers. Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has recovered from an ankle injury and he is 13/2 to score the first of what we think will be several touchdowns on the night."

"At Punchestown, the highlight is the Tied Cottage Chase which is essentially a match between Big Zeb and Sizing Europe. There has been money for Henry De Bromhead's Champion Chaser with Sizing Europe trimmed from 6/5 to 11/10 and Big Zeb out from 4/6 to 4/5. We make Big Zeb a 5/1 shot to win today and take the Champion Chase at Cheltenham next month, with Sizing Europe 9/2 to win both races."

"And there's a huge match in the Premier League with Chelsea hosting Manchester United. We think Chelsea are in decline and go top price about Andre Villas-Boas' men winning today at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are 9/5 with United 7/4 and the draw 11/5. We are also going top price all first and last goalscorers in this match with Wayne Rooney the 13/2 favourite for both markets."
