LONGSHOT
SPIRIT LEAD ME (2.25 Newbury)
He ran his best race for a long time when beaten five lengths at Ffos Las 18 days ago. He's dangerous from this reduced mark.
EACH-WAY THIEF
HK FOURTEEN (3.15 Haydock)
He was in fine fettle winning at Windsor two runs ago. This is an ideal trip so he should be right there again.
LORD ABAMA (3.50 Haydock)
He battled to score over this trip at Thirsk last time out and should be in the mix with a repeat.

Luke Shaw is 'ready to QUIT' Man United after 11 years and is 'prepared' to hear offers from one destination
Luke Shaw is reportedly ready to leave Manchester United after 11 years. The left-back, 30, is aware that his game time will be squeezed with Diogo Dalot, Patrick Dorgu, and summer signing Diego Leon all jostling for minutes. Shaw still has two years left on his contract but, due to limited opportunities, is willing to listen to advances from Saudi Arabia, according to The Sun. Shaw has missed almost five years of his career due to injury troubles since joining the Red Devils. A horrific double leg break in 2015, which sidelined him for almost 10 months, was one of just 28 injuries he has suffered during his time at Old Trafford. Last season he was limited to just seven Premier League appearances, spending most of his time recovering from separate knee, calf, and muscle blows. As per The Sun, Ruben Amorim is not in a rush to get rid of Shaw, who earns £150,000 per week. He is a versatile and experienced player who filled in at centre-back during their Europa League final defeat by Tottenham in May. The former Southampton star won the competition with United back in 2017. With 388 outings under his belt for club and contry, the London-born star has plenty of wisdom to pass on to the next generation of stars. But even if he does not leave this summer there is the possibility of him going in January. He admitted in May that he and his team-mates must question whether they are good enough to wear the shirt after their most dire season in recent memory, which saw them finish 15th in the Premier League. 'We're very sorry for what they have had to go through this season. Like I said, it's been nowhere near good enough, and I can only apologise for that,' Shaw told BBC Sport. 'It hurts a lot. This season has not been good enough. Us as players, we have to question if we're good enough for Man United because this season is not acceptable. 'Where we are in the league, the results we've had, it's not acceptable for a club like Manchester United that has won multiple trophies and always been one of the biggest teams in the world. 'After results like this [against Tottenham], the season we've had, we have to question ourselves. It's about where we go from here. Ruben for sure has a plan. He knows exactly what's needed at this club. He'll turn it around.' It is foreboding that £3.3million signing Leon from Paraguayan club Cerro Porteno impressed Amorim on his debut. The 18-year-old played the first half of their -0-0 draw with Leeds and the manager said: 'He did really well. He's learning things, he's powerful, he's going to be a very good player.' All the same, Shaw did also feature against Leeds and is in their squad for their tour of the USA, where they meet West Ham on Sunday.

Horse racing tips: ‘He can remain unbeaten' – Templegate's NAP can strike in big race at Ascot
TEMPLEGATE'S TIPS Horse racing tips: 'He can remain unbeaten' – Templegate's NAP can strike in big race at Ascot Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TEMPLEGATE'S is looking to build the bank ahead of a huge weekend, and his Friday tips are below. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up A BIT OF SPIRIT (2.25 Ascot, NAP) This son of Palace Pier has done well to win both his starts to date. He clocked a fantastic time when scoring at Salisbury earlier this month and deserves this crack at stronger company. He can stay unbeaten. JENTOBELLO (1.30 Uttoxeter, nb) Iain Jardine's five-year-old has shown plenty of quality when winning bumpers at Kelso and Market Rasen. He went into many notebooks for his hurdling debut and we'll see how he goes on this first crack over timber. WESTERN CLOUDS (2.02 Uttoxeter, treble) Took a big step forward from her debut when winning well at Perth earlier this month. She travelled really strongly under champion jockey Sean Bowen there and crossed her hurdles like an old hand. There should be a lot more to come. THURSO (4.10 Ascot, Lucky 15) His form has taken a big step forward with two wins following a couple of excellent places. He's up a fair 3lb for scooting in at Chepstow last time and moving up a furlong could unlock further improvement.

Lennox Lewis says he would've beaten count if he was Daniel Dubois but refuses to slam Brit for party before Usyk loss
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LENNOX LEWIS says he would have beaten the count that settled Daniel Dubois' KO loss to Oleksandr Usyk - but refuses to put the boot into his former protege. The fifth-round stoppage the undisputed Ukraine legend inflicted on the 27-year-old has split British boxing. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Lennox Lewis reckons he would have beaten the count that settled Daniel Dubois' KO loss to Oleksandr Usyk Credit: Getty 8 Daniel Dubois was knocked out in the fifth round by Oleksandr Usyk Credit: PA 8 Usyk has become a dominant force in heavyweight boxing Credit: Getty Warhorse Derek Chisora, 41, told our Split Decision YouTube show that Dubois quit, but Tyson Fury passionately defended him - and both men offered to help train and rebuild him. Lewis, 59 - the last heavyweight undisputed ruler dating back to 1999 - has been backing Dubois for a decade, since he turned pro, and has called for calm in the criticism of him. But the man-mountain-mastermind - who manhandled monsters like Vitali Klitschko, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield after recovering from two knockout defeats - says he would not have accepted the same fate Dubois did. He told SunSport: 'I can only say that, if I was in that situation, I would have beaten the count. 'But we don't know what was going on, mentally and physically, with him. 'When you ask 'could he have got up?' We don't know what was going through his mind. 'Usually when you are on a knee and you are looking up like that, you have a decision to get up and go on, or not. 'It's a big decision and you have to make it within the count. And I don't think he made that decision within the count.' 8 Dubois was unable to continue after being knocked to the canvas Credit: EPA 8 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS There is an ongoing and deserved inquest into how Dubois' dad Stan managed his pre-fight preparation. The IBF's defending champion arrived late, after a long car journey, and then had his entrance held up when his father threatened to pull him from the fight if his bundle of ticketless guests were not allowed in. Derek Chisora says Jake Paul is doing 'great things for boxing' but pleads with him not to fight Anthony Joshua Almost everyone in boxing has hammered the slapstick shambles but Lewis can't throw stones as he would be sound asleep about 30 minutes before the biggest fights of his life. He explained: 'Everybody does their thing a bit differently. 'Usually people look at what the previous champions did before them, and copy that. 'For me, I used to tell my team to throw everybody out of the dressing room and not let anybody bother me. 'Officials and other people would be coming to see me or to get my autograph and they would be told 'no, not until he wakes up'. 'Once I woke up, it was like a new day, I was ready for that day, and I was ready to fight. 'People didn't realise that when I was able to sleep like that, it meant I was as relaxed as I could possibly be. 8 Footage emerged of Daniel Dubois having a party hours before the fight Credit: X 8 People were packed in to Dubois' home Credit: X 'There's no point being in a dressing room ages before the fight, pacing up and down and breathing hard, that's not me. I sleep, I relax and I get in the ring. 'I would wake up just in time to wrap my hands and then my warm-up was fast.' And how does Lewis rate the man who has laid waste to the UK's biggest and best men, from Chisora to Anthony Joshua, to Tyson Fury and now Dubois? 'He's a remarkable, big-time, great boxer,' Lewis purred. 'He does everything right, he's smart and he moves and punches well. 'But he works you out BEFORE the fight. 'All the British guys have had two cracks at him and still can't do it. 'I have watched from the outside and thought 'I know how I would prepare to beat Oleksandr Usyk. 'Oleksandr Usyk is a great mover, so you have to be a great mover as well, you have to be good on your feet. "But these guys can't figure it out.'
