Newsboy's horse racing tips for Friday's five meetings, including Goodwood NAP
A timely downpour can help LIBERTY LANE (3.50, NAP) put his best foot forward and land Listed honours at Goodwood today.
Last year's Cambridgeshire winner has shown all his best form whenever the ground is on the soft side and he could be set to encounter those conditions after rain this week on a watered West Sussex track. So far this season Karl Burke's charge has finished fifth behind Dancing Gemini at Doncaster and third behind The Foxes at Chester, both efforts below his usual level of form.
But he demonstrated what he was really capable of when runner-up to Lead Artist, last weekend's winner of the Lockinge Stakes, on his final start last season. The Festival Stakes is a drop in class that should be right up LIBERTY LANE'S street.
The opening two-year-old race can go to ALVIN (2.05), who ran with great promise on debut at Newmarket after veering right exiting the stalls.
At Haydock UNEQUAL LOVE (3.00, NB) has been found a golden opportunity to atone for an odds-on defeat at Newmarket over Guineas weekend.
She contested the same Listed race she won 12 months previously en route to landing the Wokingham at Royal Ascot.
This term she has Group 1 entries and, as she is best in at the ratings in the Listed Cecil Frail Stakes, a return to winning form can keep her on that path.

Tyson Fury, 36, claims he will ‘NEVER' return to boxing just weeks after announcing comeback and hints at new career
TYSON FURY has claimed he will NEVER return to boxing - just weeks after announcing plans for a comeback. Fury retired in January - for the fourth time in his career - a month after he was beaten again by Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch. 2 Then in July, the unpredictable Gypsy King told a crowd of his fans at an event in BoxPark Wembley that he would return to the ring in 2026. But Fury - who suffers from bipolar - appears to have already KO'd that idea in what is his latest retirement U-turn. Asked when he will fight again, he told Sky Sports: "Never. Really! Too old, look at my beard, all grey. Boxing's a young man's game." Fury was at the Doncaster Racecourse where his three-year-old filly named Big Gypsy King - trained in Oxfordshire by Oliver Cole - was in action. But she finished dead last out of 11 having sent off a 7-1 shot. If Fury is truly retired, he opened the door to potentially focusing on a career as a horse race owner. He said: "Maybe. Who knows?" It comes as a blow to fans who wanted to see Fury, 36, fight Anthony Joshua, 35, next year. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Especially after Fury said in July: "I do miss it, every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it. "I've been away seven months, missed it everyday. I'm open to offers at the moment.

I'm busy as you can see I've got Netflix here. "I'm filming At Home With The Furys season two. Come on! And then next year the big GK is going to make a f***ing comeback. "The takeover! I'm gonna be 37 in about three weeks so I'm going to be the oldest swinger with all these young boys coming up it's going to be difficult. "But I believe I can put on some very good nights still." 2

‘Started from the bottom' – Proud Tyson Fury watches race horse Big Gypsy King at Doncaster from owners' section
TYSON FURY celebrated his success in the owners section at the Doncaster races. Fury is a two-time heavyweight world champion and a legend of British boxing. 3 3 But now he can also count himself as a proud horse race owner.

They have already enjoyed success on the track, winning on the Flat at Chelmsford in May. And Fury took his wife Paris and four of their seven kids to the Doncaster Racecourse. He posted: "Who would of (sic) thought we would be back in @parisfury1 home town of doncaster 20 years later with a horse in the main race! started from the bottom! now in the owners section."

Big Gypsy King is trained in Oxfordshire by Oliver Cole. As for Fury, 36, himself, he retired in January following two losses to Oleksandr Usyk, 38, in Saudi Arabia. But in July, he announced plans to return to boxing in 2026 while still being linked with a mega-fight against Anthony Joshua, 35. Former boxing champ says Anthony Joshua is in shocks talks to fight Olympic gold medalist in return before Tyson Fury He said: "I do miss it, every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it. "I've been away seven months, missed it everyday. I'm open to offers at the moment. "I'm not going to be doing any comebacks this year, that's for sure. I'm busy as you can see I've got Netflix here.
