Summer's Here with a Fantastic Weekend of Sport

After another disappointing set of predictions last week, mainly down to the complete unpredictability of the Barclays Premier League this season, a loss of £4.50 on the week was made taking overall profits down to £21.

This weekend the weather in the UK is very pleasant and with the Masters golf having started in Augusta it must mean that the summer is here!

As well as the golf there is the Grand National, Malaysian GP, Premiership football and not forgetting the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup.

The Masters has hit the third round stage and though Tiger Woods is looking ominous I'm predicting McIlroy to hold on to his lead and win and Westwood to finish in the Top 4.  Like golf I know very little about horse racing but as it's Grand National weekend my predictions are Midnight Club to win and Niche Market to place in the Top 4.

With the Hispania's having qualified within the time limit we will have a full grid for the Malaysian Grand Prix tomorrow.  The Red Bull of Vettel led the way in qualifying but the McLarens' appear to have closed the gap so I'm predicting a Hamilton win and Button to podium.

Rugby Union's Heineken Cup has reached the last eight stage and my predictions are for the two English clubs to progress with Leicester winning at Leinster and Northampton to defeat Ulster.

Finally, Manchester United seem to be strengthening their case to be Premier League champions and as such I'm predicting them to beat Fulham at Old Trafford this afternoon and for their City rivals to draw at Liverpool on Monday.

In summary the predictions are as follows:

Masters Golf

McIlroy to win at 10/3
Westwood to make Top 4 at 9/4

Grand National

Midnight Club to win at 11/1
Niche Market each way at 26/1 (Top 4)

Malaysian Grand Prix

Hamilton to win at 31/10
Button to podium at 5/4

Heineken Cup Rugby

Leicester to win at Leinster at 12/5
Northampton to beat Ulster at 1/4

Barclays Premier League

Manchester United to beat Fulham at 7/15
Liverpool to draw with Manchester City at 23/10
