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

We've a massive weekend of sporing action coming up with plenty to look forward to.

The FA Cup semi-finals take place, while Leeds can secure promotion to the Premier League by getting a point away to Derby County.

The Curragh hosts a super card on Saturday, with the Irish Oaks the feature race of the day.

And GAA Club Championships kick-off in a number of counties.

Here's our best bets for the coming days:

Harrovian 2.30pm York Saturday 9/1

The John Smith's Cup Handicap looks a wide open contest as many of these York handicaps often are, but preference is for Frankie Dettori's only ride of the day Harrovian, who looks a great each-way bet.

He was runner-up at Haydock in his first run since being gelded last month before landing a seven-runner handicap at Doncaster last time out and should be bang there this afternoon.

Lancaster House 5.45pm Curragh Saturday

Lancaster House defeated Speak In Colours, who has since won two Group races, by two and a quarter lengths in the Gladness Stakes over course and distance just over a month ago.

With race fitness, he is preferred to land Saturday's Minstrel Stakes over Romanised, who has been down the field in his last two seasonal reappearances.

Ken Condon's five-year-old looks the main threat to Aidan O'Brien's charge as a multiple Group 1 winner, but he might just lark sharpness on his seasonal return.

Gulliver 6.15pm Curragh Saturday 9/1

Gulliver ran a cracking race in the Wokingham Stakes at Royal Ascot, finishing a length and a half in fourth behind the winner Hey Jonesy.

He has six pounds more in this race, but Gavin Ryan takes off a valuable five.

Manchester United to beat Chelsea 6pm Sunday 13/10

Manchester United have been playing some really good football since the Premier League resumed and they are fancied to get the better of Chelsea in this FA Cup semi-final.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would love to bring some silverware back to Old Trafford and they are just two games away from winning this competition.

Both of these sides have scored plenty of goals in recent weeks, so hopefully we're in for a great game.

It is worth noting that Chelsea haven't beaten United in any competition in over two years.
