Don’t miss today’s best bets, brought to you by Betfred.

Totally Wicked indeed!

The Betfred Super League is up and running – and how. A thriller last night at the DW as Wigan narrowly held off Warrington, who had skipper Chris Hill dismissed after only 22 minutes.

The pick of tonight’s two fixtures might just be at the Totally Wicked, as Saints host Salford, reprising last season’s Grand Final. St Helens are missing a few injured stars, including James Roby, while Salford could have around half their side making debuts, such has been the close-season player turnover.

Saints are massive outright favs, but if you fancy an alternative, how about the handicap? 2-way it’s St Helens -15.5 Evs, Salford +15.5 10/11

Hat-trick of tips … ?

The Diary pointed you in the direction of a Paul Nicholls’ hurdler at Wincanton yesterday, and it duly obliged. A non-runner meant a skinny price, but we were in even better form when our big brother column 5 AT five tipped up one of Mark Johnston’s at Chelmsford that won by over 6 lengths.

Leafy Lingers is staging an all-weather flat card today and in our quick hat-trick-seeking bid we’re going for Nigel Nott in the 2.45, a ready winner last time at Chelmsford.

He’s got a naughty weight but Dylan Hogan takes off 3lbs, trainer David Simcock is in ‘nick,’ and we’re very hopeful.

Don’t forget Leopardstown’s Festival over the weekend – a mini-Chelters with a massive Irish flavour. Prices are HERE for the fabulous Dublin jamboree.
