Weekend betting tips: Four bets that could make you a fortune

We have weekend Premier League football to look forward to for the first time in three months.

It's a bumper few days of action and Liverpool could take another step towards being crowned champions against their Merseyside rivals Everton on Sunday night.

Meanwhile, it's been a brilliant week of racing at Royal Ascot and three further Group Ones take place on Saturday.

Here's our best bets for the coming days:

More Beautiful 1.15pm Royal Ascot Saturday 2/1

More Beautiful looked very smart when winning on debut at Naas 11 days ago and being trained by Aidan O'Brien she is open to any amount of improvement.

American trainer Wesley Ward's runners are always feared over five furlongs at this meeting and Campanelle could be the biggest danger to the favourite.

Sharing 2.25pm Royal Ascot Saturday 13/2

American raider Sharing is fancied to land the Coronation Stakes.

She had a number of European rivals behind her when winning the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at odds of 16/1 last year and was successful in her seasonal reappearance at Churchill Downs a few weeks ago.

Champion jockey Oisin Murphy is booked to ride Sharing for English-born American trainer Graham Motion.

Sceptical 3.30 Royal Ascot 3.35pm Saturday 5/2

One of the stories of the week could come in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes if Irish runner Sceptical can land the spoils.

Bought for just £2,800, the Denis Hogan-trained four-year-old has won his last four starts and was extremely impressive when winning a listed race in his last run at Naas.

He is the highest rated sprinter in Ireland and although this is a big step up to what he has achieved so far, I think he will take all the beating with Frankie Dettori on board and he is the nap of the weekend.

Liverpool -1 handicap v Everton 7pm Sunday 6/4

The Premier League title is within touching distance for Liverpool now and they could be crowned champions within the next week.

Jurgen Klopp's side defeated their Merseyside rivals 5-2 when they last met in the Premier League back in December.

They could score another few goals here and odds-against for the -1 handicap looks a good price to me.
