Horse racing tips: ‘He's a cut above anything else in the field' – Templegate's NAP brings red-hot form
TEMPLEGATE takes on Friday's action looking to build the bank for another big weekend of racing. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. WISE APPROACH (4.10 Newbury, nap) Was the only colt to get anywhere near potential superstar Charles Darwin in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot last time out. The winner was putting in the juvenile performance of the season so this son of Mehmas did well to finish just over two lengths behind for Charlie Appleby. He stayed on really strongly under William Buick over five furlongs so this move up in distance should bring more improvement. He's a cut above anything else in the field for this Listed Bowl Stakes, with improver Amorim looking likely for the forecast spot. CAMTANK (4.00 Nottingham, nb) This daughter of Camelot left her debut form firmly behind when winning by a cosy two lengths at Lingfield last time. She didn't have to hit top gear and has a lot more to come for William Haggas. BANANA (5.05 Nottingham, treble) She makes plenty of appeal again after her barnstorming win over this trip at Chepstow seven days ago. She looked beaten inside the final furlong only to rally just in time for the line. This is a slight drop in class from that contest and there's another win in her. COUP DE FORCE (7.00 Newmarket, Lucky 15) She took a little time to get going at Salisbury last time but showed good pace once at top speed to win going away. A 4lb rise for that looks fair and she's right in the hunt again.

19-day Food Fiesta offers pistachio shio pans, Kaohsiung oden, lempeh otah & Dona Manis banana pie
My job involves visiting several food fairs and pasar malams, but most of them offer more or less the same old stuff (yawns). We headed down to the first day of Food Fiesta 2025 over at Takashimaya Square, basement 2, with no high expectations. But oh boy, I haven't been that excited in a while! With over 60 stalls offering a smorgasbord of food and products, the 19-day Food Fiesta will run until 7 July 2025 — and it even stretches all the way inside, right up to where Cold Storage is located. With so much to see and decide on, where do we even begin? Don't worry — my colleague Rachel and I scouted the grounds to see what interesting bites were on offer. At this stall called BANANA, we spotted a lady frying various Thai-style fritters just like the ones sold at the now-defunct Golden Mile complex. But with Talad Thai already holding court in AMK Hub's basement, the question is: what sets this place apart? That was when I spotted Pineapple Rings and Pineapple Pop (S$7.50 each). We ended up going for the latter — battered clusters of pineapple cubes. Each bite was a taste of summer, with savoury-sweet notes and a crispy, sesame seed-laden batter. Although the pineapple was probably the canned kind, it was still a very satisfying snack. A couple of small bites that blew me away were the (S$2.20) and (S$2.80) from Makan House By Ollella. For the uninitiated, they are glutinous rice rolls stuffed with various fillings, with the most common being hae bee hiam and chicken. The glutinous rice here was so fragrant and moist — probably one of the best I've eaten! I highly recommend the (S$2.20) as well. They also have (S$1.80), Durian (S$5.80 for 2 pieces) and Coco (S$3.20). If you have a penchant for Taiwanese food, why not swing by Good Meet Fishball for some warm and hearty Taiwan (S$8.80)? This brand is from Kaohsiung and has been around for 60 years. I absolutely loved the sotong ball, white radish and fishcake. If you're craving for breakfast food, there's Cheese Scallion Egg Pancake (S$10.50) with luncheon meat or chicken floss at Xi Men Jie. You can also savour Taiwan Garlic Pork Sausage (S$3.50) from Sausage Family and desserts like Purple Rice with QQ Balls & Grass Jelly (S$4.50) from Sister Wei. Another gem we unintentionally chanced upon while buying a drink at Cold Storage was The Flour Dept. They are a bakery that resides at Everton Park, and specialises in shio pan and pistachio bakes. We tried the (S$4.20) and Pure Pistachio (S$4.20) . The former was tangy and umami at the top, filled with chunky egg salad with crunchy onion bits. The Pure Pistachio was divine with its nutty and earthy pistachio lava centre, and finely-chopped pistachio bits combined with a little salty peanut butter. My only minor gripe is that the bread could've been a touch chewier. You don't have to travel all the way to Katong Shopping Centre for a slice of the Original Banana Pie (S$5.50) — Dona Manis Cake Shop has a booth here. Each whole pie is cut into 8 slices instead of the usual 10, making each piece bigger — and naturally, a little pricier. For something a little boozy and shiok all at once, give the Rum Balls (S$5 for 2 pieces) a try. At Keong Saik Bakery, we checked out the mini (probably an eclair–croissant hybrid) with various sweet and savoury varieties. We took 4 for S$16.50: Truffle Potato, Black Sesame Muah Chee, Lemon Pistachio and Mentaiko. They were all lip-smackingly delish! You could hear several girls (including Rachel) swooning over how cute the macarons were from Sugar Smith. Pick from over 10 designs such as the Biscoff cheesecake Cookie Kitty (S$6), cookie cheesecake Cinnamoroll (S$6.50) and (S$4). Head over to Basement 2 at Ngee Ann City and soak in the vibrant vibes of Food Fiesta 2025 for yourself!

Clemson football transfer portal tracker 2025: Who's in, who's out for Dabo Swinney
CLEMSON — Clemson football's 2025 roster appears to be set. The spring transfer portal closed April 25, and the Tigers lost only one player and did not add any. In the winter, they lost five players, the second fewest for a Power 4 program, and added three, the most they have ever landed in a cycle. Advertisement The lack of players entering the portal is a testament to the culture Clemson coach Dabo Swinney has created, where the Tigers emphasize the recruitment and development of high school players rather than using the portal to add a transfer and informing a current player to leave. "It just shows that our process works regardless whether we're recruiting a high school kid or recruiting a portal kid," Swinney said after Clemson's spring game on April 6. "We're trying to get the right guys that really align with who we are, how we go about our business here, what the expectations are, what our core values are and also fit the role that we need them to." Here are all the players who left and joined Clemson football via the transfer portal this cycle. Who transferred to Clemson football? Jeremiah Alexander, LB: Alexander committed to Clemson on Jan. 8. He recorded eight tackles over three seasons with the Crimson Tide. He is a former five-star recruit who chose Alabama over Clemson out of high school and has two years of eligibility remaining. Advertisement Will Heldt, DL: Heldt committed to Clemson on Dec. 19. He recorded 56 tackles, including 10 for loss and five sacks, in his second year with the Boilermakers last season. According to Pro Football Focus, he logged 26 pressures with Purdue in 2024, which exceeded the total for every Clemson defensive lineman except for T.J. Parker. Heldt has two years of eligibility remaining. Tristan Smith, WR: Smith announced his commitment to Clemson on Dec. 16 on X, formerly known as Twitter. He is the first non-quarterback scholarship player to transfer to the Tigers in portal history. Smith recorded 76 catches for 934 yards and six touchdowns this past season. He has one year of eligibility remaining after playing for Southeast Missouri State, an FCS school, and two seasons at Hutchinson Community College in Kansas. BANANA BALL: How the Savannah Bananas won the game and the crowd at Clemson football's sold-out stadium Who transferred out of Clemson football? Tavoy Feagin, CB: Feagin entered the transfer portal on April 16. The redshirt freshman, who has four years of eligibility, appeared in two games last season and played 11 defensive snaps. He did not participate in Clemson's spring game on April 5. When asked why Feagin was not participating, Swinney said, "He was just not out there." Advertisement Destination: Ole Miss Troy Stellato, WR: Stellato announced his intention to enter the portal on Dec. 3 on X, formerly known as Twitter. Through nine games and five starts last season, Stellato recorded 25 catches for 264 yards and one touchdown. He has battled injuries while with the Tigers, suffering his third season-ending injury this season. He has two years of eligibility remaining. Destination: Kentucky Tré Williams, DT: Williams entered the transfer portal on Jan. 1. He recorded 14 tackles, including two sacks, and two pass deflections in 14 games and three starts in 2024. He has one year of eligibility remaining. Advertisement Destination: Michigan A.J. Hoffler, DL: Hoffler entered the transfer portal on Dec. 26. He logged 13 tackles, including 1.5 for loss, in 14 games with no starts this season. He has two years of eligibility remaining. Destination: Georgia Tech Sherrod Covil Jr., DB: Covil entered the transfer portal on Dec. 6. He recorded 12 tackles and one pass deflection in 11 games and one start this season. He has one year of eligibility remaining. Destination: Virginia Tech Noble Johnson, WR: Johnson announced he would enter the portal on Dec. 9. He recorded three catches for 16 yards in 13 games through two seasons with Clemson. He suffered an injury in a car accident in February that caused him to miss time during spring practices. He has three years of eligibility remaining. Advertisement Destination: Arizona State Derrian Carter covers Clemson athletics for The Greenville News and the USA TODAY Network.
