Ed Chamberlin looks ahead to the Grand National, The Masters at Augusta and the return of the Barclays Premier League. There are two major puzzles to solve next week in two of the sporting years great occasions: The Masters and the Grand National.The two Im going to war with in the Aintree spectacular are Ucello Conti and Gallant Oscar. Im becoming something of a Gordon Elliott disciple but in Ucello Conti the case is obvious after two fine efforts in the top Irish handicap chases, most recently in the Thyestes where Jacques Ricou took the horse via Calais. Hes been laid out for the race, as has Gallant Oscar for another of Irelands shrewdest handlers, Tony Martin. Again Gallant Oscar has some top handicap form to his name, notably at both the Cheltenham and Punchestown Festivals last season. Hes been bought along very quietly this term with one race in mind and really caught the eye at Naas earlier this month.Finding the winner of the modern day Grand National is virtually impossible and youll here tips for every horse over the next ten days but lets hope Gallant Oscar and Ucello Conti give us a decent run for our money.After the battering they took at the Cheltenham Festival, the bookmakers will desperately want a result in the National and plenty of surprises over the three days. Sky Bet have bravely priced up 14 of the Aintree races and with Willie Mullins lining up plenty of his big guns - Douvan, Vautour, Black Hercules, Annie Power et al - they could be right up against it again.With Augusta course and distance form working out well year after year, the layers may struggle to get a result in The Masters too. Ill be having my annual each-way stab on Matt Kuchar at 66/1 with Sky Bet, who are paying on the first five places. The medias focus will firmly be on the big three - Jason Day, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy - which could play in to the hands of Adam Scott and he looks a great bet at 11/1.What a buzz England created against Germany on Saturday night. What a reality check they got versus the Netherlands on Tuesday. The teams true ability probably lies somewhere between the Berlin brilliance and the Wembley wobble.One thing is for sure: youd have taken this situation at the start of this season going in to Euro 2016. Leicester have shown few signs of feeling the pressure so far. They have won seven of their last nine games and lost just one of the last 13 matches since late December. Ed Chamberlin on the Premier League Back then it was fashionable to bemoan the lack of English talent but now we seem to have a wealth of prodigious, young, attacking players. Kane, Vardy, Alli, Welbeck, Sturridge, Barkley and co. could cause quite a stir this summer. Despite the hype from Saturdays brilliant comeback against Germany, expectations should remain low but it would be great to think Roy Hodgsons team will give it a real go in France.Those young stars take centre stage this weekend as the Premier League returns and the thrilling title race resumes. The top two are both live on Sky Sports with Tottenham (11/4 to win the title) at Anfield on Saturday Night Football then Leicester (8/15) part of the Super Sunday double header. Spurs must seize the chance playing first this weekend and crank up the pressure on the leaders. Beating Liverpool would send out a major message.Leicester have shown few signs of feeling the pressure so far. They have won seven of their last nine games and lost just one of the last 13 matches since late December. They have been magnificent. Their team spirit remains formidable and their performances on the international stage will give another surge of self belief to Vardy, Drinkwater and Kanté. The big difference to earlier in the season is that theyve tightened things up. Gone are the 4-3s and 3-2s. Leicester have won last three games 1-0. They might not be playing with the same flamboyance but theyve been really difficult to beat, especially at the King Power which will be absolutely jumping again on Sunday. Leicester are unbeaten in a club record 11 Premier League home games and have had six clean sheets in the last seven home games.Southampton will have their work cut out but will also be buoyant after their extraordinary comeback win against Liverpool two weeks ago, which must have been inspired by the Saints mascot that day - Sam Chamberlin!Southamptons season in many ways sums up the craziness of the Premier League. The Saints started well then had a horrible run of one win, thumping Arsenal, in 10 games as they went out of both Cups and all of a sudden they were nervously looking over their shoulders only seven points clear of the drop zone. A few weeks later and Southampton are only four points off the Champions League places. Madness.Whatever happens now, theyve had another brilliant season against all the odds and the focus this summer must be keeping key players and even more importantly persuading Ronald Koeman, who has done the most remarkable job, to extend his contract beyond next summer.After the game at the King Power, it promises to be a special day at Old Trafford as they rename the South Stand after the great Sir Bobby Charlton. Charlton joined Manchester United as an apprentice in 1953 and made his debut for the club 60 years ago. He went on to play for the club 758 times, scoring a club record 249 goals.Another landmark could be the 1,000th Premier League goal scored by Manchester United at Old Trafford. Man Utd have scored 999 PL goals at Old Trafford so far and will become the first team to score 1000 home goals if they score on Sunday. Their first Premier League goal at Old Trafford was scored by Denis Irwin in a 1-1 draw against Ipswich in August 1992 and since then there have been 81 different scorers at the Theatre of Dreams I absolutely love this time of year with the Premier League run-in and spring upon us with top events left right and centre.

Kershaw shrugged off a two-run homer by Jose Abreu in the rookies return from the disabled list, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago White Sox 5-2 Monday night. "It was one pitch. Thats all it was tonight. One pitch. But he was great all the way to his last one," Dodgers catcher Drew Butera said. Kershaw (4-2) allowed four hits over eight innings, striking out nine and walking none. Kenley Jansen got three outs for his 17th save. "I think Kershaw just continues to fight no matter what. If they get him once, hes going to keep it right there," Dodgers pitching coach Rick Honeycutt said. "Hes not happy about the home run, but hes able to put it behind him and keep going. Thats the sign of a guy with a short memory. The great ones dont worry about the past. They just know what theyve got to do going forward." Justin Turners two-run single keyed a five-run sixth inning in which all the Dodgers runs were unearned. "Thats how you win games. You take advantage of one little mistake, and a lot of times it ends up rolling into a big inning," outfielder Scott Van Slyke said. "Good teams do that. When they get the opportunity, they take advantage." Jose Quintana (3-5) gave up six hits through six innings and was charged with all five unearned runs. The Dodgers parlayed two infield errors, four singles and a walk into the five-run rally that put them ahead. All the runs came with two outs. Kershaw led off with a single and Matt Kemp reached on one-out grounder that went under second baseman Gordon Beckhams glove for an error with the infield overshifted to the left side. Yasiel Puig struck out on a high fastball and slammed his bat in frustration, but the Dodgers got a break when third baseman Conor Gillaspie fielded Hanley Ramirezs grounder behind the bag and bounced his throw past first base as Kershaw scored. "He had a chance to get the force at third, but thats an error and thats part of it," Chicago manager Robin Ventura said. "Q pitched a great game, going inning for inning with Kershaw, and he deserved a better fate. Theres no two ways about it. But when you dont play defence, and give a team like that opportunities, you leave that littlle crack in the door.ddddddddddddAnd they kicked it wide open." Adrian Gonzalez drove in Kemp with an infield hit, and Quintana gave up a two-run single to Turner and an RBI single to Butera after a walk to Van Slyke. "Its always fun to get hits, and its always fun when youre part of the run-scoring," Kershaw said. "Sometimes with us, it takes a couple times to get through the lineup. I knew if I just kind of kept us in the game, gave us a chance, we were going to break out." Kershaw needed only 12 pitches to get through the first two innings and retired his first 10 batters before Beckham singled and Abreu followed with his 16th homer. The Cuban slugger was leading the majors in homers and ranked second in RBIs with 42 before missing 14 games with tendinitis in his left ankle. The White Sox were 8-6 in his absence. "It was nice, coming against a guy like Kershaw," Ventura said. "It didnt seem like he missed too much of a beat. When we have that guy swinging the bat good, were a better offence." The only other baserunner the White Sox had against Kershaw through the first six innings was Moises Sierra, who hit a dribbler to the right of the mound and beat the left-handers throw to first base with two outs in the fifth. Kershaw, who led the majors in ERA each of the previous three seasons, made only 66 pitches through six. "I was throwing strikes. They were swinging and my pitch count was low those first four, five innings," Kershaw said. "Theyve got some aggressive guys over there. It doesnt really bother me as long as I make my pitches early." NOTES: The Dodgers announced after the game that RHP Chris Withrow will undergo Tommy John surgery Tuesday. ... Abreu set major league rookie records for homers (10), RBIs (32), extra-base hits (19) and total bases (71) in April and was named AL rookie of the month. ... Beckham committed another error in the seventh, booting a routine grounder by Puig. ... Abreu and Puig, teammates with Cienfuegos before defecting from Cuba to the United States, are among six Cuban-born players in uniform for this series. The others are Alexei Ramirez, Dayan Viciedo, Adrian Nieto, and the Dodgers Erisbel Arruebarrena. ... Ventura gave 1B-DH Adam Dunn the night off even though he is 8 for 13 against Kershaw with four home runs. ... Quintana has not allowed a home run in 43 1-3 innings over his last seven starts, after giving up one in each of his previous four outings. ' ' '
