We had a couple of winners yesterday from our three picks, including 6/1 shot Lear's Rock in the 4:10 Handicap at Windsor, as the bay gelding made nearly all, before drawing clear 1 furlong out, to take the win for trainer Ralph Beckett. So, onto Tuesday, and we'll look to continue yesterday's success, with picks from the all-weather card at Southwell.

United Outclass City In Derby
And it was City who started at great pace and created an early chance for Navas who was stopped by De Gea, before Silva's cross to Aguero, who found the net after 8 minutes.
But, United grew into the game, and leveled from Ashley Young on 14 minutes, before taking the lead from a deep cross from Young, with Fellaini nodding home from close range.
Vincent Kompany escaped a red card for a bad challenge on Blind, but was replaced at Half Time, injured in making that challenge.
United continued to press into the second half, and it was Juan Mata who slotted past Joe Hart to make it 3-1 midway into the half, and then Chris Smalling made it 4-1 not long after, as Mangala played everyone onside from a free kick on the left.
A late consolation goal from Aguero brought up his 100th goal for City, but it was United who were cheering at the full time whistle.
The crowd once again at Old Trafford was incredible, as United finally ended the dominance of City in Derby's over recent years.
United take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge next week live on Sky, and what a game that promises to be. Can United show what they're really about.....or are Chelsea too Strong?
Chelsea, of course, got lucky against QPR this afternoon, with a late Fabregas winner, but Champions find away to win when they're not playing well!

Premier League Relegation Battle
We were treated to a fairly entertaining mid-week game at Villa Park, as a Benteke hat-trick earned Aston Villa a 3-3 draw with QPR, who had led twice in the game despite only having 36% of the possession. But what does that do in terms of the relegation battle? Nothing, is the short answer.
For me, I believe Leicester and QPR are the certain teams to go down. But for the final team, it's any one of three; Burnley, Hull, or Villa.
There's no doubting Hull have the toughest task coming to the end of the season, as they still have Southampton, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Manchester United to play, in their remaining 7 fixtures.
Villa are another side who don't have it to easy in the closing stages of this seasons Premier League, and still have to face Spurs, Manchester City, Southampton, and a very interesting final game of the season against relegation rivals Burnley.
Hull have really disappointed me this season, and I expected much more from a few of their players, including Livermore, Abel Hernandez, and Ramirez, but it's just not worked out. I like Steve Bruce, but in my opinion, Hull are going to struggle to get many points, if they don't change drastically, and they could be the ones to go.

Premier League - Battle for Survival
Tuesday night sees another tough battle for Premier League survival, as Villa host QPR at Villa Park.
QPR recorded just their second away win this season in the Premier League at the weekend, with a 4-1 win against West Brom, and that will surely give them huge confidence going into tonight's fixture.
Aston Villa sit just above the drop zone, in 17th, 2 points clear of Burnley, after a 3-1 away loss to Manchester United over the Easter Weekend.
Villa have a good record at home, against tonight's opponents, having won five, and drawn one of the last 6 league games, and a win would move them 5 points clear of the relegation zone, with just 6 games remaining.
Both sides are without key players for tonight's game, with Alan Hutton, Scott Sinclair and Ashley Westwood unavailable for Villa, and Vargas, Yun Suk Young and Leroy Fer missing for QPR.
Despite an impressive win at the weekend for QPR, it's hard to see another victory coming away from home so soon, and they are yet to win 2 games in a row this season, and haven't had back-to-back away wins in the top flight, since 1995!

KEY STATS - OPTA
Christian Benteke has scored four goals in his last four
league games for Tim Sherwood’s side, more than he had netted in his previous
21 (3).
Aston Villa have scored just seven goals in their last 20
Premier League matches against London sides, and never more than once in a
match in that time (W2 D3 L15).
QPR’s last league win at Villa Park came back in March 1992
(1-0). QPR have scored in each of their last 12 Premier League matches against
Aston Villa.
Aston Villa have won just one of their last eight Premier
League home games (W1 D3 L4). Villa have failed to find the net in four of
these eight matches.
PREDICTION
It's a really tough game to call, and a draw doesn't really do either team any good. I can see Villa just edging QPR, and enhancing their survival chances, which would have been Sherwood's key objective when taking charge.
VILLA WIN (23/20 bet365)- 1-0/2-1 (13/2 - 17/2 bet365)
