PORT HEDLAND (5.15 Brighton, nap)
He was value for further than the official margin of half a length when scoring here last time. The handicapper has been more than fair with a 2lb rise and he gets on well with today's claiming rider. He should have no trouble with this slightly longer distance.
SERGEANT MAYER (2.45 Carlisle, nb)
Escapes a penalty for his smooth success at Ripon last time. He is right at home over this minimum trip and goes on any ground. He has yet to finish out of the frame in seven races with cheekpieces and will be there again.

NOBLE HORIZON (2.55 Chepstow, treble)
Showed promise when third at Newmarket last time and will improve plenty for this step up in distance.
KELDEO (7.28 Catterick, Lucky 15)
She's looking for her third win at this tricky track and is only 2lb higher than her last win. She'll be on the premises again for Ollie Pears.

Tony Bloom insists Hearts can "disrupt" the dominant forces in Scottish football after his £9.86million investment was formally confirmed on Wednesday morning. Bloom has received a 29 per cent stake in the Tynecastle club in non-voting shares after supporters group, The Foundation of Hearts, voted overwhelmingly in favour of the proposal. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The deal also entitles Bloom to a seat on the Hearts board, with the Brighton chairman nominating long-term business partner James Franks to act on his behalf as a non-executive director. Tony Bloom, owner of Brighton & Hove Albion, has completed his £9.86m investment in Hearts. | Getty Images Bloom, a gambling entrepreneur who also owns Brighton, adds Hearts to a portfolio of clubs which includes Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium and Melbourne Victory in Australia. His recruitment company, Jamestown Analystics, has been in partnership with the Edinburgh club since last year and is helping them in the transfer market through the use of data to identify signing targets. Bloom believes his involvement at Hearts could be the catalyst to mounting a challenge to the 40-year dominance of Celtic and Rangers, who have shared the Scottish title between them since 1985. It comes after USG clinched their first Belgian title in 90 years last month on the back of his 2018 investment. 'I am absolutely thrilled to be investing in Hearts," Bloom said in a statement. "I firmly believe in the club's ability to disrupt the pattern of domination of Scottish football which has been in place for far too long. This great club has a bright future and I look forward to seeing that unfold in the months and years ahead. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "The appointment of James as my representative on the board underlines the importance I attach to my investment in the club. James has been a trusted associate of mine for many years and I believe that his wealth of experience in the football industry and strong business acumen will be a tremendous asset to the board and to the club.' Franks has been a legal and strategic business consultant to Bloom for nearly two decades and played an integral role in brokering the Hearts deal, as well as the investments in USG and Melbourne Victory. 'I am honoured to become a board member at Hearts," Franks stated. "From my first visit to Tynecastle in March 2024 as the initial step in the investment process, it was obvious to me just how special the club is. All of my subsequent visits and my interactions with the management team at the club and with the Foundation of Hearts have strengthened that feeling and I'm proud now to call myself a Jambo. I welcome the opportunity to play my part in an exciting new chapter in the history of this wonderful club.' Hearts chief executive officer Andrew McKinlay added: 'It is with great pleasure that I can now, on behalf of everyone at Heart of Midlothian, officially welcome both Tony and James to the club. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Today's announcement is the culmination of our fans' belief and support, and I thank them for their backing. When Tony's investment proposal became public in May, it captured the imaginations of our supporters, as demonstrated by Foundation of Hearts members voting 98.5% in favour of it. 'A tremendous amount of hard work has gone on behind the scenes to turn a proposal into a reality and I'd like to thank everyone involved for delivering what is a hugely significant moment in this club's history.

Wimbledon star Sonay Kartal playing for life-changing payday after struggling to afford a tennis coach
SONAY KARTAL has spoken of her tennis financial struggles while growing up – ahead of a potential £240,000 payday. Emma Raducanu 's childhood rival is on the cusp of reaching the Wimbledon fourth round for the first time in her career. 3 Unlike some in the sport, the 23-year-old did not have a silver spoon in her mouth – she had a modest upbringing in Brighton and her family ran a local Turkish restaurant. Yet when it came to the sport she chose, having dabbled with football and cricket, she did not have any support until hooking up with the LTA aged 19 and earning Pro Scholarship Programme (PSP) funding. Kartal – who plays French qualifier Diane Parry on Friday – has £152,000 in her back pocket but if she wins two sets, she will add an extra £68,000 to her back balance. The British No.3 said: 'Obviously tennis is super expensive. 'When I was growing up, I kind of did quite a lot of tournaments on my own because I couldn't afford to pay a coach week-in, week-out. 'It helped me develop as a teenager, grow up super fast, made me much more mature. I held myself accountable to a lot of things. 'The LTA helped me massively. It came at exactly the right time. It was when I started to come on the scene and was putting together a few good wins consistently. 'They really helped to give me all the equipment and access to everything I needed to develop as well. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 3 'I've shot up the rankings. My game style really rocketed. 'My coaches back in the day, they would charge me I guess the lowest fee and would try to help me out as much as possible. Watch British Wimbledon stars Emma Raducanu and Sonay Kartal have incredible rally at 9-YEARS-OLD in throwback video 'I was out quite a lot of years injured as a teenager. 'I didn't pick up a racquet for a couple years. I was kind of a bit inconsistent as I was going through my teenage years.' 3

'Never been convinced' and is Rutter 'an upgrade' on Pedro?
We asked for your views on the news that Joao Pedro has joined Chelsea in a deal worth £60m and your initial reaction to the transfer. Here are some of your comments:Fran: Selling Pedro is a good bit of business for the Albion. I always thought he was inconsistent. He was always reliable as a penalty taker but you need more. I would be more sorry if we lost Mitoma. Anyway, good luck to Pedro in Brighton's reserve team!Ted: For an established Premier League goal scoring forward - a profile in short supply - this looks somewhat cheap. I hope Brighton have a ready-made replacement in mind as we look a bit light up Pleased. He's a great player and gives 100% in and out of the training/Premier League games. My only concern is he's hot-headed and can be a tad aggressive which lands him into trouble. Is that a bad thing or good thing? Time will tell but he has fallen out with a few players here and has received red cards so can be a liability. But, when he's on his game he's fabulous to watch. I wish him Brighton don't make many mistakes with player sales and this isn't one of them. Pedro only shows his best in flashes and gets petulant when Brighton concede or his fellow players are trying to walk the ball into the net, which is a common problem at the Amex. I expect he'll be swallowed up by the masses of failed transfers at Stamford Bridge. As ever Brighton are meanwhile quietly recruiting the next £60m Joao Pedro is undoubtedly a gifted player and I have had the privilege of seeing him score some cracking goals. However, I've never been convinced that he was 100% committed to the club. His demeanour and his interaction with other players just left me feeling his heart wasn't in it and he had his eyes on bigger, shinier things. He looked bored. He'll fit in well along the Kings Road and its London living and nightlife. Best of Brighton luck to the Obviously a loss on the pitch, but for every big moment there'd be games he went missing, and with Rutter, Gruda and perhaps Buonanotte all capable of playing in the same role, I think it's a good move. Rutter an upgrade as well I believe.
