New Beverley race seen as a good fit for Al Qareem
'I think he will run and I see a couple of them in the race have been declared elsewhere and I think it is a very winnable option for him,' said Nick Bradley.
'It's a new race with £28,000 to the winner, it's a Listed race and even with a penalty he's clear of everything else in the race. Beverley is a front-runner's track and will suit him so I don't see too much wrong with the race.'
Al Qareem has been in top form this season, winning at Nottingham in the Further Flight Stakes in April before finishing an honourable second to Aidan O'Brien's Gold Cup runner-up Illinois at Chester.
He followed that up with a destructive display at York when handing Willie Mullins' Absurde a four-and-a-half length beating in the Listed Grand Cup, and a return to the Knavesmire for the John Smith's Silver Cup is available as an option if connections make a late defection from Beverley.
'The alternative is York the following race and he'll run in one of the two, but I think I'm favouring Beverley.' continued Bradley.
'He did well last time and Clifford (Lee, jockey) gave him a brilliant ride that day, he got the second horse (Absurde) keen and we got lucky that a few behind didn't really show up.
'I thought it was a career best but I'm not sure the horse is particularly getting really better, we're just managing him better and placing him better. We know him more now.'

College Football Playoff's next Indiana is difficult team to find
The Indianapolis Star took "a pretty big leap" while predicting an 8-4 regular season for the Hoosiers. Another Big Ten newspaper of record, the Omaha World-Herald, surmised a "bowl bid is not out of the question," while projecting 6-6. Indiana's accommodating schedule aided its thrill ride, but even knowing that schedule, who foresaw the Hoosiers smashing Nebraska, handling a Michigan team that later beat Alabama, and securing playoff viability at 11-1? So, when trying to pinpoint the next Indiana, it becomes an injustice to the 2024 Hoosiers to include any preseason Top 25 team. How to find next Indiana for College Football Playoff Illinois attracts comparisons to the 2024 Hoosiers, as basketball-leaning Big Ten schools without a history of football greatness. But, Illinois returns most of its starters from a 10-win team. Expectations are too great and too reasonable to earmark the Illini as the next Indiana. Like Illinois, Texas Tech could pursue the program's first playoff appearance, but the Red Raiders don't emulate 2024 Indiana. The Hoosiers assembled their playoff squad from the transfer portal's bargain rack. Texas Tech launched an expensive player-buying campaign fueled by billionaire booster Cody Campbell. Hardly comparable. After putting aside playoff hopefuls like Illinois and Texas Tech, what's left? Teams like UCLA, California and West Virginia are ultimate longshots, built from the portal's fires. Hear me, I'm not suggesting those teams as likely playoff contenders, but, that's sort of the point, isn't it? The ultimate dark horse, Indiana stunningly crafted a warp-speed turnabout with the help of 31 transfers, a cocksure coach in Cignetti, and a favorable schedule, of which they took full advantage. UCLA, Cal and West Virginia each brought in more than 30 transfers apiece. Each has an over/under of 5 1/2 victories. That's Indiana territory. The Bruins made one of the offseason's biggest acquisitions by plundering a quarterback, Nico Iamaleava, who's a former five-star recruit. He started a playoff game last season for Tennessee. UCLA, fresh off a 5-7 finish in its Big Ten debut, will endure a schedule that includes Big Ten front-runners Ohio State and Penn State, plus a non-conference tilt against Utah. Iamaleava's arrival provides hope for improvement, but it's hard to see that schedule as a recipe toward being the next Indiana. What, then, about California? The Bears nabbed former Ohio State backup Devin Brown as a transfer quarterback. Cal, which hasn't won more than eight games since 2008, will avoid Clemson and Miami, two ACC favorites. The schedule, though, includes six road games and a matchup with SMU, a playoff qualifier from last year. That's enough to prevent Cal from becoming the next Indiana. West Virginia overhauled its roster with 52 transfers after hiring Rich Rodriguez for a homecoming. It would be more appropriate to view the Mountaineers, though, through the lens of 2024 Arizona State. The Sun Devils won the Big 12 championship after the media picked them to finish last in the conference. In the unpredictable Big 12, any number of teams could ascend and claim the auto-bid entry to the playoff. Missouri profiles as a playoff sleeper, after the media picked it to finish 12th in the SEC. The Tigers secured a fine collection of portal prizes, including former Penn State backup quarterback Beau Pribula. Missouri's accommodating schedule positions it to exceed its Vegas over/under of 7 1/2 wins. But, the Tigers won 21 games the past two seasons. They've been too good recently to aptly compare to Indiana. POWER RANKINGS: Where the Big Ten teams stack from first to worst DEAD PLAN: SEC suffocates the Big Ten's plan to rig playoff Would next Indiana come from Big Ten? As I search for the next Indiana, I circle back to the Big Ten. The conference is so big that teams only play half the membership, and there's no requirement to play a Power Four non-conference opponent. That's a breeding ground for a fortunate schedule draw. Consider Maryland. The Terrapins won't play a non-conference Power Four foe, and they avoid Ohio State, Penn State and Oregon. Expectations remain low. Vegas sets the over/under at 4 1/2 wins. Maryland likely will start several transfers after finishing 4-8 last season, and four-star freshman Malik Washington projects as the starting quarterback. Maryland cashing in on a favorable schedule to the extent it could make the playoff sounds highly improbable. When trying to unearth an Indiana sequel, that's the assignment. If the idea doesn't sound absurd, then that team doesn't count as the next Indiana. Blake Toppmeyer is the USA TODAY Network's national college football columnist.

Ross O'Sullivan eyeing more Galway Festival gains
The stable sent out three winners for the showpiece fixture 12 months ago, all of whom return to the track this time around alongside further hopes both on the Flat and under the National Hunt code. Donnie Devito, who took the Guinness Novice Hurdle last year, turns his hand to chasing and will take on stablemate and fellow Galway winner Talk In the Park over fences. 'The three winners from last year will go there, unfortunately two of them are taking each other on,' said O'Sullivan. 'Donnie Devito and Talk In The Park will both go for the beginners' chase on Friday.' Volantis bids to retain his title in the Guinness Galway Tribes Handicap Hurdle, whereas smart bumper horse turned hurdler Strong Link makes his Galway debut and the Listed winner Chally Chute aims to go one better than last year's effort in the Guinness Handicap. O'Sullivan said: 'Volantis, last year's winner of the good handicap which now runs on the Saturday will go back for that. He's had a prep run on the Flat like last year and much the same preparation as last year. 'Strong Link has won a bumper and maiden hurdle, he goes for the novice hurdle that Donnie Devito won last year. 'The young pretender is Strong Link, he hasn't put a foot wrong and has good winter form in bumpers. 'He's transferred that to winning in the summer and because he's up and coming he'd be the one that we're really looking forward to. 'Last year Chally Chute was second in the good Flat handicap over a mile and a half, the Guinness Handicap. He goes back for the same race again having won a Listed race.'

Matthew Boyd, Cubs blank Royals, ruin Rich Hill's return to majors
July 23 - Matthew Boyd pitched seven scoreless innings and the Chicago Cubs spoiled 45-year-old Rich Hill's return to the major leagues with a 6-0 win over the visiting Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. Boyd (11-3) extended his scoreless streak to 23 innings while allowing four hits with one walk and six strikeouts. Nico Hoerner, Dansby Swanson and Matt Shaw each had two hits for the Cubs, who bounced back after losing the opener of the three-game series 12-4 on Monday. Hill (0-1) began his 21st season in the majors by giving up three runs (one earned) on six hits over five innings. The oldest active player in the major leagues, Hill walked two and had one strikeout. Kansas City committed three errors and was shut out for the 11th time this season. Chicago took a 2-0 lead in the second inning by capitalizing on a pair of miscues that put runners at the corners with one out. Shaw drove in a run with an infield single and the Cubs executed a double steal before Justin Turner scored from third on Hoerner's fielder's choice. Boyd retired the first 11 batters he faced before Maikel Garcia drew a two-out walk in the fourth inning. The Royals recorded their first hit on Nick Loftin's leadoff single in the fifth inning. Loftin advanced to third on Freddy Fermin's one-out single, and John Rave followed with a bunt single to load the bases. Boyd escaped the jam unscathed when Kyle Isbel lined out to Swanson, and the shortstop tagged Fermin out diving back to second base. Chicago tacked on a run in the bottom of the fifth when Carson Kelly hit a two-out single and scored on Pete Crow-Armstrong's double. The Cubs added three runs in the seventh inning. With the bases loaded and no outs, Seiya Suzuki singled in a run and Kelly followed with a sacrifice fly. After Crow-Armstrong struck out, Chicago pushed another run across when Kyle Tucker swiped home as part of a double steal. Crow-Armstrong returned after missing one game with a bruised right knee and went 1-for-4 with an RBI. --Field Level Media
