Football

English Football

Championship Play-off Final – Wembley

Coventry v Luton – Sky Sports Football/Sky Sports Main Event 16.45

Preview 

It would be difficult to see either team as potential Premiership clubs at the beginning of the season. Luton are marginal favourites – expect it to end as a draw after extra time and go to penalties – then it’s toss up.

Horse Racing

Irish 2,000 Guineas – The Curragh – ITV 4  15.40

Preview

English 2,000 Guineas third Royal Scotsman, a late supplement to the race, is favourite with Hi Royal who was second at Newmarket also in the race. Aidan O’Brien’s three year olds aren’t really firing this year, but it would be foolish to disregard him on home turf. Ryan Moore rides Paddington, but I would go for another Coolmore horse Proud and Regal trained by Aidan’s son, Donnacha O’Brien.
