I'm 19 & married a guy 21 years older than me – I want to be a young mum & we don't care about what our families think
LOVE stories come in all shapes and sizes, and can often challenge traditional notions of romance. For one woman, Iyah, her journey to finding "the one" involved a significant age difference that's now sparking conversations and strong opinions across social media. 2 Iyah recently caught the attention of her 839,000 TikTok followers by sharing the surprising details of how she met her husband, who happens to be 21 years her senior. When their paths first crossed, Iyah was just 19 years old, while her now-husband, Rafah, was 45. In a previous video shared on their TikTok page, ' @rafal_and_iyah ', Iyah openly described connecting with Rafah as nothing short of "a dream come true." And in another video, she delved deeper into what brought them so close together, despite the age gap. She explained that at 19, she was already set on getting married and becoming a young mum. Then, she met Rafah, who, at 41, had "wanted a family for so long." Iyah revealed that both of them were initially worried about the age difference and what their families might think. However, they ultimately decided that they "didn't care" and chose to go ahead and start a family together. The video, shared on 3rd July, has since gone viral with an astonishing 2.3 million views and 926 comments, reflecting a wide range of mixed opinions. One commenter wrote: "So, he couldn't find a woman in her 20's, 30's or 40's? No, he specifically wanted a teenager." Press sec Karoline Leavitt calls 32-yr age gap with husband 'atypical' & admits life turned into 'circus' after they met A second added a word of caution: "I just hope that he understands that you're young. "Even though you're a mom you're still so young and have so much to learn and grow. Also don't forget to have fun, pursue a career! Live!" However, many were quick to hit back at the negative comments and defend the couple. One person wrote: "People honestly need to mind their own business on things that have NO relevance or consequence on their life at all. 2 She was 19 and an adult, she can rent her own flat, vote, manage her own finances but because there's a teen on her age suddenly she's like five and can't ever possibly know what she wants in life and can't make her own decisions?" Someone else praised Rafah, saying: "Look how he married late and still looks good. "Men have to establish themselves before providing. He did that." Speaking in a previous video, Iyah summarised their whirlwind romance: "Don't mean to be a bad influence, but we met when I was 19 and he was 41. "Three weeks later, I moved in, eight months later, he proposed and now we are married with a baby." A-list age gap relationships that have stood the test of time Kris Jenner & Corey Gamble - 25 years The Kardashian matriarch, 69, met her younger man, 44, at a mutual friend's 40th birthday party in Ibiza. They've been together since August 2014. Sam & Aaron Taylor-Johnson - 23 years The director, 57, and actor, 34, reportedly met at a film audition in 2009, and were married by 2012. The pair share two daughters and Sam has two children from a previous marriage. Rosie-Huntington-Whiteley & Jason Statham - 20 years The model, 37, started dating actor Jason, 57, in 2010. They were wed in 2016 and have since welcomed a son and a daughter together. Catherine Zeta-Jones & Michael Douglas - 25 years Catherine, 55, was introduced to Michael, 80, a film festival in 1996 and engaged three years later. Shortly after their engagement, the couple welcomed a son and married in 2000.

The Best Runways at Berlin Fashion Week SS26
The design talent in Berlin is rich, and the crowd the German capital draws for its bi-annual fashion week is particularly impassioned. Each February and June, international editors, journalists, stylists, buyers, influencers, and celebrities flock to the city to witness the sprawling manifestos of Berlin's top designers — and the results continue to outdo their predecessors. Everyone fromGmbHandDavid KomatoOttolingerandHADERLUMPput their best needle forward at the latest iteration ofBerlin Fashion Week, which wrapped up at the end of last week. Their ideas of style could not be more distinct from one another, but one thing they all share is a strong perspective. Below, see the best shows from the affair. Sun's out, toes out—or so that seems to be the new rule across the men's Spring 2026 runways. During Berlin Fashion Week, David Koma became the latest designer to free the toe on his first-ever menswear catwalk. Across all 33 looks, the dogs roamed free in thong sandals under contrastingly formal ensembles inspired by a triad of Davids: David Beckham, Michelangelo's sculptural David, and Koma himself. Titled 'I LOVE DAVID,' the collection drew from Beckham's turn-of-the-millennium style (with a specific nod to his famous 'I KISS FOOTBALL' jersey) just as much as it did from Michelangelo's masterful artistry (see the formalwear's drapery) and Koma's own signature (crystal garters, classic tailoring). With cultural and historical icons saturating the mood board, the line still appeared very wearable, in part thanks to the flip-flop's attainability. Perhaps that was because Koma saw himself as the person buying and wearing these clothes. 'It was my most personal collection to date, partly because I took on several roles: muse, designer, and customer,' Koma said backstage. On the third night of Berlin Fashion Week, GmbH's Spring 2026 show was a poetic, emotional, and raw 'Imitation of Life.' Designers Benjamin Huseby and Serhat Işik's latest manifesto was a commentary on the current state of the globe. 'The cruelty of this world has severed our connection to it,' they wrote in their show notes. 'We no longer know how to act or feel.' This collection, however, was not inspired by said cruelty or destruction. This was a line that reflected the 'process of working and living through a time defined by the most abject forms of horror and moral collapse, and trying to come out on the other side still human.' In that attempt, the designers looked to their own childhoods, rewatched family tapes, and examined old rites of passage to dream up a line that felt hopeful for the future. Still, they toiled with a sobering question: 'How can you revisit your childhood without feeling devastated?' Richert Beil's Spring 2026 show marked a return to intention. Titled 'Milieuschutz,' the collection was built while founders Jale Richert and Michele Beil were leaving behind their old office and moving into a new studio, a 135-year-old pharmacy situated in the center of Kreuzberg, an area now known for its vibrant art scene. This season, then, Richert Beil looked to reflect on 'beginnings and endings, on transformation, and on the responsibility of creating something with meaning,' per the designers. The results were both intimate and orderly, freaky and kinky. Floral motifs appeared across the range—like tapestry on oversized blazers and centerpieces on knit turtlenecks—as a metaphor for the cycle of growth and decay. Elsewhere, many traditional shapes received contemporary renovations, like lederhosen made with latex and suspenders knotted with cheeky bowties. On an active construction site just outside Berlin's Kurfürstendamm, SF1OG's Spring 2026 show walked the dangerous tightrope between obsessive desire and emotional decay. Portraying two intensely opposing feelings, creative director Rosa Dahl effectively stylized the consequences of all-consuming love, but through the lens of a teenage dream. The label's muses crept through a suspended forest made from printed fabric pillars, which felt all the more claustrophobic against composer Gavriel August's thrilling soundscape and the room's in-progress sensibilities. Their fashions longed for youthful freedom, awkwardness, and chaos: flared sequin capes paired with low-rise trousers, while sheer long-sleeve tops complemented baggy skirt pants and tights alike. Across the line, SF1OG's affinity for old-time craftsmanship — lacework, corsetry, and distressing included — looked especially impressive on antique textiles, like vintage wools, leathers, and silks. Here, Dahl's goal was to show the audience a mirror to 'our own volatile, uncertain eras' — all of the conflicting phases throughout adolescence and beyond that, together, make us who we are. And if the number of illusory arrows targeting models' heads wasn't proof enough, SF1OG hit the bullseye. Ottolinger designers Christa Bösch and Cosima Gadient presented their first-ever show in their home city of Berlin this season to celebrate their label's 10th anniversary. At the Palais am Funktrum, the imprint's runway, titled 'Heidi,' was filled with powerful, feminine-powered 'fits — all part of a stylistic story about being an older sister. 'Being the cooler older sister isn't about being perfect,' the brand wrote in its show notes. 'It's about having lived-loved too hard, fallen harder, found her way back, and doing it all in a way that makes you believe you can too. She's the one who broke the rules first — so you wouldn't have to be afraid of breaking them.' As you can imagine, the result looked fearless. Haderlump Atelier's Spring 2026 collection was all about authorship and ownership—hence, the massive piles of printed and signed words that provided the set for Johann Ehrhardt's latest manifesto. The line's title, 'Exlibro,' Latin for 'from the books,' references the miniature nameplates that were once kept inside books as a means of identification. Those tiny artworks, per the label, were mottos, coats of arms, and mythological figures, 'each one a quiet yet deliberate declaration: This is mine. This is who I am.' HADERLUMP's fashion line championed that concept, dressing its scholarly muses in sculptural and expressive silhouettes inspired by those historical bookplates. Thus, strong-shouldered coats and clean bombers asserted dominance, while layered skirts flowed from their wearers' waists like pages from a book. The intention was for each design to look like a personal artifact, and it's safe to say we could see many of these pieces in a far-off retrospective. PALMWINE IceCREAM's Spring 2026 collection, 'MUSE,' was a masterful presentation of bursting color. Bridging his two hometowns of London and Accra, founder and designer Kusi Kubi was inspired by all of the empowered women in his life and their contributions to his creativity and community. In a kaleidoscopic celebration of femininity, the line's naturally dyed leathers, organza, mesh, and deadstock textiles turned up the genderless line's exposure to the max. Northern Ghanaian leather, specifically, claimed the leading role with coloring done by generational tree bark and sun-dying methods. Elsewhere, giraffe-printed boots were hand-painted, and striking bags were constructed with embellished calabash shells.

Royal Ascot tips: ‘He looks an absolute machine' – Templegate's confident 6-1 NAP on day two of Royal Ascot
TEMPLEGATE takes on a sizzling day two at Royal Ascot confident of smashing the bookies. Back a horse by clicking their odds below - and bag yourself some of our best free bet offers . Advertisement ROYAL ASCOT - Best betting offers and new sign-up deals CARMERS (3.05, nap) Twomey or not Twomey — that is the question on Day Two of Royal Ascot. Top Irish trainer Paddy Twomey has a huge chance in the Queen's Vase. This son of Wootton Bassett has looked like a machine on his two runs so far. After a bloodless maiden win at Ballinrobe, he stepped up to 1m5f for a smooth Listed success at Navan. He travelled sweetly off the pace before picking up strongly to win going away. This greater test of stamina again will be ideal and there's a lot more to come under experienced jockey Billy Lee. ANMAAT (4.20, nb) Advertisement READ MORE RACING Can turn the tables on Los Angeles in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes. They had a right ding-dong at The Curragh last time but this track suits Jim Crowley's mount better and he can strike. QIRAT (5.00, treble) Will enjoy stepping up to a mile for the Royal Hunt Cup. He needed his comeback when beaten on the nod in the Victoria Cup here. Templegate's verdicts Advertisement Most read in Horse Racing Exclusive 2.30 TRUE LOVE can have a fairytale ending in the Queen Mary. The Aidan O'Brien runner has copped what should be a nice high draw and she's been second in a couple of hot maidens in Ireland. She can take the extra step needed here. All the money has come for Zelaina , Karl Burke's £650,000 Mehmas flyer, who looked something out of the ordinary when destroying her rivals at Nottingham on debut. Advertisement She made all with ease and clocked a good speed figure. Burke used the same stepping stone for Leovanni last year and she's the danger at skinny odds. American raider Lennilu has blitzed her rivals on both starts so far and should love the fast ground. She'll blast off and take plenty of catching. Queen Mary Stakes trends The draw has played a big part in this sprint with only one winner coming from a single-figure stall in the past 12 runnings. You need at least one win on your CV too. So Shine On Me, Paris Carver, Cardiff By The Sea, Justice Twice and True Love are the next to go. More than one defeat is also a negative for Guernsey Lady. Harry's Girl, Eternal Solace and Social Exclusion didn't win last time out while Viamarie has been off too long. Miss Yechance and America are too big a price to be winning on the stats. Seven of the past eight favourites have lost so Zelania fans have a worry. So the final three are Lennilu, Secret Hideaway and Society Kiss. Spicy Marg could be the pick of the home team after she zoomed away from her rivals at Newmarket last time. Advertisement Secret Hideaway had a few of these behind when taking a York Listed prize in good style and can prove that was no fluke. Society Kiss showed her liking for the track when winning on debut and Ralph Beckett's fillies often take a big step forward from their first outing. Revival Power is the sister of Nunthorpe winner Winter Power and is another with plenty of scope after an impressive debut win at Thirsk. Staya is another with place claims after her Yarmouth win. Advertisement 3.05 CARMERS looked a class act when following up a maiden win at Ballinrobe with a commanding three-length Listed success at Navan last time. That performance was visually striking and backed up by the clock too. He's already proven his stamina for this sort of test and has a lot more to come for in-form trainer Paddy Twomey. Advertisement Aidan O'Brien has a strong hand as usual. Queen's Vase trends We can cut the Queen's Vase field down very quickly as the first three in the betting have a fantastic recent record. Only shock 2016 winner Sword Fighter at 33-1 has broken the dominance of the market principals in almost two decades. So wait for the opening show but this looks to be between Shackleton, Carmers and Scandinavia barring any significant market moves. Of those Scandinavia is a bit too low in the official ratings and Shackleton was only fourth last time out which has been a no-no in 22 of the past 23 years. So that leaves way for CARMERS to strike. Shackleton is the apparent first string under Ryan Moore. He shaped better than the result in the Gallinule Stakes at the Curragh when denied a clear run and should relish this longer trip. Stablemate Scandinavia was a wide-margin Navan maiden winner on reappearance and brings untapped potential under Derby hero Wayne Lordan. Advertisement Devil's Advocate steps up from a solid Dante fourth but that York effort came in ideal conditions and he now faces a stamina test. Rahiebb is on the upgrade and ran a cracker when second in a hot York handicap. He could be the value option at a decent price ahead of Chester Vase fourth Pinhole . 3.40 Advertisement CINDERELLA'S DREAM blossomed with a dazzling return in the Dahlia at Newmarket last time. She was a class apart at Newmarket, surging clear of 1,000 Guineas winner Elmalka and clocking a big speed figure in the process. Already a Grade 1 winner in America, she is right at home on fast ground and will take plenty of stopping. Fallen Angel is the danger as she below Group 1 company for the first time since 2023. Advertisement The Irish 1,000 Guineas winner was a touch flat in the Lockinge but needed the run after seven months off. Ryan Moore on his Tuesday rides The world's top jockey gives us the lowdown in association with World Pool... THE sun is out and Love is in the air on Day Two. My afternoon kicks off with TRUE LOVE (2.30) in the five-furlong Queen Mary. She has finished second on both starts so far but she is by No Nay Never and is a big, strong filly who will be suited by a strong pace over this trip. SHACKLETON (3.05) needed the run over a mile and a quarter at the Curragh last time and it was a messy race. He will take a step forward for that. You must stay the trip round here and my horse will. Some people out there still doubt LOS ANGELES (4.20) but that doesn't bother me. He's rock solid and I wouldn't swap him for stiff mile and a quarter at Ascot will suit him well. Anmaat won the Champions Stakes in October and ran well when we fended him off at the Curragh last month. He's an obvious threat. See The Fire has been supplemented at a fair cost and was impressive at York. She is a lovely filly but maybe she is better suited to the Knavesmire rather than here. Map Of Stars was a little unlucky when second in the Prix Ganay and Ombudsman is a talented horse who I've ridden a couple of times. He might not want the ground as quick as it will be today. I'm on THE LIFFEY (5.00) in the Royal Hunt Cup, who has been very well backed. He finished fourth on his first start for Joseph O'Brien in a Listed race at Navan. That form has been franked, as the winner has gone on to win a decent race in France. There's plenty to like about The Liffey, but it's very competitive and lots of yards will think they have a well-handicapped horse. I close with KANSAS (6.10) arrives here off the back of an okay run at Navan. He's consistent but will need to find a bit more improvement to be in the mix. She made all when landing the Curragh classic last year and has the pace to get handy again. There's no obvious reason why Emalka will turn the HQ form around with the tip and a bigger threat could be last year's winner Running Lion. She has cheekpieces on for the first time and looked much more like her old self when second at Haydock last time. Advertisement We know she likes this trip and track on fast ground and she could hit the frame. One Look ran a decent race in this grade at The Curragh last time but needs more in this company. 4.20 ANMAAT can turn around last month's Tattersalls Gold Cup form with Los Angeles who got the run of the race at The Curragh. Advertisement I don't often consider wind direction as part of the form but there was a very strong tailwind in Kildare that day and it was a huge help to prominent runners like Los Angeles who were literally blown to victory while hold-up horses struggled to land a blow. I would say Anmaat ran a massive race to come from a fair way back to actually head his rival at one stage before just getting chinned half a length. Last year's Champion Stakes hero has more than proven himself at this level and he boasts a fine overall Ascot record. Jim Crowley will hopefully sit just off the pace and come through with a late rattle as he did here in October. Advertisement Los Angeles is likely to run another mighty race too. Prince Of Wales's Stakes trends Since this race was brought back to the meeting in 1968, no horse older than six has ever wonn and six-year-olds struggle too. So Anmaat, Certain Lad, Facteur Cheval and Royal Champion are gone. You also really need to be north of 119 in the official ratings. That can't be said of Map Of Stars, Ombudsman or Continuous. So very quickly the killee trends have reduced the Group 1 field down to just a pair of contenders in Los Angeles and See The Fire. Connections of the latter forked out a whopping £70,000 to run here so think they'll get their money back. But Aidan O'Brien has won this three times since 2017 which surely tips the scales in favour of his LOS ANGELES who also has a Group 1 win on his CV which has been a pointer to success in this contest. He stays this trip strongly, acts on any ground and Ryan Moore should have near the front and ready to kick on around the home bend. Ombudsman lost his unbeaten record when second in the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown but he was entitled to need that comeback and should be a lot fitter for it. He impressed when winning four straight last season, including at Longchamp. Advertisement A strongly-run race over this trip should bring out his best and he'll be hard to keep out of the frame. Map Of Stars looked unlucky in the Prix Ganay when denied a clear run before flying late to go down by a neck. He's got a couple of Group contest on his CV with quick ground being the only worry as he's a winner on heavy. Connections paid a fortune to supplement See The Fire after her sensational Middleton Stakes win at York last time. Advertisement She put that Group 2 to bed by 12 lengths and gets valuable weight from the fellas. There's more improvement to come on this sharp hike in class. Facteur Cheval wasn't disgraced when trying to retain his Grade 1 Dubai Turf title last time and he was a good second in the QEII Stakes here in October. He's another who probably doesn't want the ground rattling fast. Advertisement 5.00 QIRAT has a fantastic record up this straight track in a big field. He ran a cracker in last year's Britannia Stakes before going close at the October meeting. He made his seasonal comeback in the red-hot Victoria Cup here in May and went down in a head-bobber. His family normally improve as four-year-olds and this longer trip will be ideal. Advertisement Royal Hunt Cup trends Despite all the draw talk in the Hunt Cup, we've had winners right across the track in recent seasons. It's stall 11-4-15-7-20 for the past five winners. Stick between 9st and 9st5lb for your fancy and you need to have won at least three times on the level. You have to be 96 or higher on official ratings. Look for horses that have a recent win and have run no more than three times this season. Horses older than five tend to struggle. That leaves us with 30 runners cut down to just Bullet Point, Silawi, Urban Lion and Fox Legacy who range from 10-1 to 28-1 so you could back all four. Well-backed My Cloud looks a danger along with The Liffey under Ryan Moore. Arabian Light and Bullet Point look big each-way prices. Royal Hunt Cup runner-by-runner guide I run through every runner in the handicap cracker, rating them out of five stars. One is the worst - five the best. ARABIAN LIGHT 4 LIGHT fantastic. Strong Newmarket third after good runs in Dubai. Improver who stays. Well drawn and solid each-way. HI ROYAL 2 HI low. Gr1-placed last year and second in good race latest. Stays but high in weights. WAHDAN 1 DESPERATE Dan. Fancy French form as a youngster but been poor for a while. Big weight. JEFF KOONS 2 UNBELIEVABLE Jeff. Well held in Goodwood Listed last time. Best over further, needs more to figure in this company. QIRAT 5 RAT fan. Likes it here and just pipped in the Victoria Cup over 7f last time. Will stay, handles any ground and on fair mark. Huge player under Colin Keane. ANCIENT ROME 2 ROME alone. Group placed at best but not firing this season. Needs a revival. SOLDIER'S EMPIRE 1 EMPIRE falling. Bits of form in Dubai but best over further. Up against it. EPICTETUS 2 NEEDS an Epic. 2023 Group winner, fair comeback after a year off at Newbury. Place hope but still high in weights. GALERON 3 RON the money. Lincoln fifth on return but modest latest. Trip suits and while he's unreliable but could nick a place if bringing his best form. SEAN 2 SEAN bean. Three poor UK runs after fair efforts in Dubai. Weight looks too big. BLUE BROTHER 1 TOO Blue. French raider ran OK in Saudi latest over further but 13lb above last win. TONY MONTANA 3 TONY Tiger. Narrow seconds at York and Goodwood this season over 1m2f. Drop in trip could help along with blinkers. Solid each-way. LA TRINIDAD 3 LA law. Ran well last two over this trip and handicap mark looks fair and enjoys a strong pace. Could place at long odds. THE LIFFEY 4 DEEP Liffey. Unexposed and solid Listed run last time at Naas. Should relish the step up to a mile and has more to come with Moore up. Player. POPMASTER 3 POP has bottle. Good fourth in Victoria Cup here over 7f from a poor position and track suits. On a long losing run but not out of place battle. EBT'S GUARD 2 ON Guard. Solid Epsom run last time and likes this trip. 5lb above last win so needs more. MAGNUM OPUS 2 BAG Mag. Good fourth in Lincoln latest so trip and big field suit. Needs another step forward. TALIS EVOLVERE 2 TALL Tal. Only 2lb above last win but best on the sand and Windsor run was modest. Needs a lot more to figure. BULLET POINT 4 ON Point. Won very nicely on comeback at HQ. Unexposed at 1m and ground suits. Leading chance from rails draw. SILAWI 2 HERE Wi go. Made all at Windsor in a small field last time but faces a far tougher task here. URBAN LION 3 LION roars. Has 5lb penalty for last week's stylish Sandown win. Trip suits and could nick a place upped in class with more improvement to come. BOPEDRO 2 NO Bo. Veteran on long losing run. Trip fine and weight's fair but asking a lot to win. FOX LEGACY 4 FANTASTIC Fox. Bolted up at Newmarket on stable debut and shorter trip should be fine. 6lb rise gives him a chance under Oisin Murphy. WHITCOMBE ROCKSTAR 2 ROCK off. Six-time 2024 winner over this trip but at lower level. Best on sand and up weights. GREEK ORDER 3 GREEK to me. Interesting on UK return after fair spell in US. Nice draw and well backed. TOIMY SON 3 SON up. Has run well in big fields but not this year. Trip and track suit and could nick a place. MY CLOUD 4 CLOUD may reign. Unbeaten this season and impressed here in April when winning easily. Trip ideal on firm and has more to come. Short odds but big chance from good draw. SISYPHEAN 3 HE's no Sisy. Close second in hot York handicap over this trip on return. Unexposed. Player if repeating that from fair 2lb higher in the weights. TOKENOMICS 3 LOVE Token. Won well over 7f at Cork last time and likes to come off a strong pace. Each-way say with longer trip no issue. WHIP CRACKER 2 WHIP out. Patchy form at lower levels. Went well at Sandown but this is much tougher. 5.35 AROLLA can rock his rivals to give trainer Harry Charlton a first Royal Ascot win in his own name. Advertisement This improving daughter of Kingman made a cracking return when second to the smart Jabaara in a Musselburgh Listed race earlier this month and now drops into handicap company off a perfectly fair mark of 100. My fancy stayed on eye-catchingly from off the pace. With the strong gallop expected to suit her hold-up style, she can pounce late under top Irish jockey Colin Keane. There's every chance of a Royal winner thanks to Rainbows Edge who could well be the proverbial Group horse lurking in a handicap. He has earned top weight after an impressive victory over course and distance last time. Advertisement That was just his fourth run so there should be a lot more to come from William Buick's mount. He got the better of Arisaig but there was less than a length between them so Charlie Johnston's hope isn't out of this and is slightly better off at the weights. Kayhana is a strong traveller for Gavin Cromwell and she returned to form with a close second at Gowran last time. She'll need luck from stall seven but should come home strongly. Advertisement Rockymountainway is on the upgrade and shaped as though the step back up to a mile will suit when a strong second at Kempton. At huge odds, Thelma's Angel caught the eye when sixth in a Musselburgh listed contest and could outrun her price now dropping back into a handicap. 6.10 OLD IS GOLD can shine under James Doyle. Advertisement He was a good third on debut here before winning nicely at Beverley last time. Wathnan shelled out £200,000 to buy him after that and he can repay a big chunk of that here. Rogue Legend looks dangerous after back-to-back wins in Ireland and he's another to have changed hands for big money since. There was plenty of juice in the ground at Tipperary last time which he won't get here though. Advertisement Kansas went down fighting at Navan last time but has had three goes to get off the mark. Rogue Supremacy lagged in on debut at Wetherby and is proven on quick ground. He could be anything for David O'Meara. Tough Critic flew home to win in America last time and is another for the shortlist on ideal ground.
