First up, below are the current standings, & we have a new leader who suddenly has a bit of daylight between him & the field. It's still wide open though. Oh, & in the unlikely event I were to finish in the Top 3, my entry would be void, I'm just there for the bragging rights.

Good time to remind you what prizes you are playing for;
1st place will get Free Entry into the £33 entry Predator Main Event on Wednesday of next week, 20th March.

3rd place will get Free Entry into the £5.50 Mini Predator on Wednesday of next week, 20th March.
I was rather hoping we could go to the dogs today, as the Puppy Derby at Monmore was due to be televised, but as far as I can see, that's not the case. We will certainly do the cherries when opportunity presents itself though. The Midlands Grand National from Uttoxeter was another candidate, but that's too early for many folks to make their selections.
So, we'll do football again, especially as there is an evening kick off (7.55pm, televised on BBC1), which gives everyone time to make their selections. Looks a good game too.
And the match is....
Wolves v Manchester United
Latest Entries by 7.30pm please.
Here are the current odds from SkyBet.com & these are the prices we shall use;
HOME (Wolves) 9/4

Here's the OPTA stats;
This is the 100th meeting between Wolves and Man Utd in all competitions. Their last encounter at Molineux came in March 2012 in the Premier League, a 5-0 victory for United.
Wolves haven’t reached the semi-final of the FA Cup since 1997-98, when they beat Leeds United at Elland Road in that season’s quarter-final.
Manchester United are looking to reach the FA Cup semi-final in consecutive seasons for the first time since doing so in 2003-04 and 2004-05 under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Manchester United have won nine of their last 10 away FA Cup matches, losing the other in quarter-final in 2016-17 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Man Utd manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a 100% away win record in the FA Cup, winning twice away from home with Cardiff City in 2013-14 and twice this season with the Red Devils.
One last clue for you - here's what happened when these 2 teams met in the FA Cup Semi Finals 70 years ago, in 1949. No need to thank me.
