7.00 Southwell – Class 6 Handicap (6f)
In seven runs since she was fitted with a hood, ORIENTAL PRINCE has settled into her races much better and recorded five impressive wins and one second-place finish.
Four of those five victories came from her six outings at Newcastle, but she also visited the winner's enclosure at this venue on her penultimate start, winning a Class 5 handicap over today's trip off a mark 9lb lower than her present one.
Owner Johnnie Delta Racing and trainer Jim Goldie achieved similar success in 2018 with Oriental Prince's half-sister, Oriental Lilly, who put together strings of wins early in her career. She reached a peak mark of 86 suggesting today's selection still has scope for progression off a mark of 69.

Grand National trainer and ex-jockey comes out of retirement to ride against wife, son and daughter in the same race
A GRAND NATIONAL trainer and former champion jockey is coming out of retirement to ride against his wife, son and daughter in a famous Newmarket race. Welsh handler Tim Vaughan is gearing up for a true family affair in the Town Plate - the world's longest Flat contest. 2 In what is thought to be a British first in racing, four members of the same family will do battle in the charity bash. Run over a massive 3m6f, it's a distance Vaughan is more used to as a trainer of staying chasers. In fact, Vaughan had hopes of winning the world's most famous race in 2023 when Eva's Oskar was running a beauty. The 50-1 outsider was rolling along nicely at Aintree under Alan Johns when fate cruelly intervened and he unseated his rider at the 21st fence. Vaughan, a former chartered surveyor who is based just outside Cardiff, has combined training with a tough fitness regime as he gets ready to race again. He was Champion Welsh point-to-point jockey many moons ago and rode 117 winners between the flags. Now a Grade 1-winning trainer, his son Edward has shown plenty of skill in the saddle too. Daughter Grace knows what she is doing on horseback as well, while wife Abbi won a charity race at Chepstow a few years ago. Vaughan told the Racing Post it had been 'carnage' in the house ahead of the race on Auguse 23. The mindgames have well and truly begun - and Vaughan, 45, has been hitting the gym in a bit to shift some weight. It's proved successful - he's lost two stone since he started working out. Vaughan said: "It's been real fun, we've been winding each other up and I'm trying to pick the fastest horse so that I win. "We've had such a good time getting there, there's been so much camaraderie already. "We've got four horses lined up and I'm definitely the most bullish as I'm choosing the horses. "Me and Ed have a lot of competition for it, the girls are a little less aggressive. "Ed thought Grace's was faster the other day and tried jocking her off, I'm trying to jock Abbi off and we're all scrambling! "It's been carnage, things have been getting heated in the house. "It's got me fitter and sharper, we're all pumped." Commercial content notice: Taking one of the offers featured in this article may result in a payment to The Sun.

England Euro 2025 hero second favourite to win Sports Personality of the Year
Two Lionesses are in the frame to be named the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year after England won Euro 2025. Sarina Wiegman's side beat Spain in a dramatic penalty shootout to retain their European title. Pre-tournament favourites Spain led through Mariona Caldentey's first-half header but Alessia Russo's second-half equaliser took the final to extra-time and then penalties. England missed their first spot-kick – Beth Mead's effort saved after her first had to be retaken due to a double kick – but Spain then missed three in a row, with Hannah Hampton saving two. Chloe Kelly, who scored the winner in the Euro 2022 final win at Wembley, struck home the decisive penalty to spark bedlam among England fans in the stadium and watching on from back home. Moments after England lifted the trophy, Kelly was installed as the second-favourite to win the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year award. Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: 'Chloe Kelly is the new second-favourite to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award after scoring the winning penalty for England in the Euro 2025 final. 'Hannan Hampton is also in the mix after saving two penalties to help England win the tournament. Kelly and Hampton are joined by fellow Lionesses Lucy Bronze and Leah Williamson who are among the outsiders to win the award.' Despite the Lionesses' historic success, Rory McIloy remains the favourite to win Sports Personality of the Year after he completed the career Grand Slam by winning the Masters earlier this year. By winning at Augusta, McIlroy became just the sixth man – and first European – in history to win all four majors. Rory McIlroy: Evens Chloe Kelly: 7/4 Lando Norris: 5/1 Hannah Hampton: 5/1 Lucy Bronze: 15/2 (was 16/1) Luke Littler: 9/1 Leah Williamson: 16/1 (was 20/1) Odds courtesy of Betfair World darts champion Luke Littler and Formula One driver Lando Norris are also contenders for SPOTY following impressive rises in their respective sport. Littler etched his name into darting history by becoming the youngest ever PDC World Championship winner at the start of the year. The 18-year-old won the World Matchplay on the same day England retained their Euros title to complete darts' triple crown. England's path to Euro 2025 glory was far from straightforward but the Lionesses delivered when it mattered most to retain the trophy they first lifted in 2022. Penalties were also required in the quarter-finals and Wiegman's side recovered from missing four spot-kicks to beat Sweden. The Lionesses were minutes from exiting in the semi-finals against Italy before Michelle Agyemang scored a dramatic 96th-minute equaliser and Kelly scored late in extra time.

'We said we can win by any means and that's what we have shown again today. I am so proud of the team and the staff. It is incredible. 'I just can't believe it. I have a medal around my neck and we have a trophy. It has been the most chaotic tournament on the pitch – all the challenges we had on the pitch against our opponent. 'From the first game it was chaos. Losing your first game and becoming European Champions is incredible. Football is chaos.' More Trending England star Ella Toone added: 'Amazing feeling. I felt all the same emotions as I did back then [at Euro 2022]. 'We worked so hard, winning a tournament for your country – there's no better feeling. We deserved that and we should be so proud of ourselves. 'There were times when people thought we were down and out but we never did. We had that belief in the squad that we were going to come out and win. 'That's the quiet confidence we have in ourselves. Amazing feeling. We're going to enjoy the night. I love a party, I'm a Tyldesley girl of course I love a party!' For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

2025 Shanghai Masters Snooker schedule, how to watch, prize money and odds
The Shanghai Masters gets underway on Monday at the Luwan Gymnasium, with the world's best snooker players battling it out for the prestigious title. The top 16 in the world make it into the Shanghai Masters and they are joined by the four highest ranked Chinese players outside that elite group, plus four local wildcards. Judd Trump lifted the trophy last season, beating Shaun Murphy in the final and the world number one will be looking to claim back-to-back titles. Ronnie O'Sullivan had made the event his own before Trump's victory last year, winning four editions of the Shanghai Masters on the spin. There is no shortage of contenders for the silverware, including new world champion Zhao Xintong, who will be playing for the first time since his Crucible triumph. The likes of Kyren Wilson, Mark Selby, John Higgins and Ding Junhui have all tasted success in Shanghai before and would love to replicate that on Sunday. One change to the draw since it was made saw Ali Carter replace Mark Allen as the Northern Irishman withdrew due to personal reasons. The tournament runs from July 28 – August 3.

'It was probably one of the best performances I've ever produced in a whole event. Nobody really got close to me that week. 'It sets you up for the whole season. When you get off to a quick start it puts you in a good position. I then won in Saudi straight away after. You are so relaxed after getting the first win. This is important for everyone. It is the first event that all of the top players enter. You don't know what to expect as you aren't match sharp. But it is important to put the work in so you come out strongly.'
