LONGSHOT
LETTER OF THE LAW (2.20 Salisbury)
He bounced back to form last time with a clear second at Chepstow and he looks capable of going close against similar rivals here.
EACH-WAY THIEF
NAVID (4.53 Salisbury)
He has gone close on his past two outings, including a strong second at Epsom and this longer trip should suit.
QUERCUS (5.00 Catterick)
He won this race in 2023 and the yard - who call him 'Quirky Quirk' for his idiosyncratic tendencies - has a fantastic overall record in it.

The British 40-year-old had the pace and was on track to finish in seventh, which would have comfortably seen him through to Q2. On his team radio, Hamilton said: "Is everything okay?" To which his race engineer Riccardo Adami said: 'Track limits at turn 4." READ MORE IN F1 good fer-it?

It comes after he qualified in 18th for the sprint race on Friday before finishing the race today in 15th.

'Tomorrow's a new day. Obviously I'm massively frustrated… Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.' 'You don't have too many positive things to say' - Lewis Hamilton in tense exchange with Martin Brundle over F1 photo Hamilton's woes in Spa came after the British driver held crunch talks with Ferrari chiefs ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix. Hamilton prepared documents and held a number of meetings following his fourth-place Silverstone finish. He remains without a Grand Prix podium after 12 races, although he did win the China sprint and finish third in the shorter Miami race. Ferrari has not won a title of any kind since the Constructors' Championship in 2008, while their last drivers' title was with Kimi Raikkonen in 2007. Hamilton said: "The team have had amazing drivers - Fernando [Alonso], Sebastian [Vettel] - and yet they didn't win a title with Ferrari. "I refuse for that to be the case with me, that's why I am going the extra mile. If you take the same path, you get the same results."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 'open to reuniting with former Manchester United star' as the Besiktas boss considers handing the 24-year-old a career lifeline
Besiktas manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly debating a move for a former Manchester United star. After a glittering playing career at Old Trafford that saw him etch his name in club folklore, Solskjaer went on to spent nearly three years in the hot seat at Old Trafford as manager between 2018 and 2021. In January, Solskjaer took his first managerial position since being sacked by United and led Besiktas to a fourth-place finish in the Turkish Super Lig. And as he prepares for his first full campaign in charge of the Black Eagles, Solskjaer is said to be eyeing a former Man United player to help shore up his defence. According to a report from The Sun, the Norwegian is open to a move for United academy graduate and former England youth international, Brandon Williams. Williams thrived under Solskjaer's leadership at Old Trafford, and was handed his senior debut by the Champions League winner in September 2019. The 24-year-old would go on to make 36 appearances in all competitions in what appeared to a breakout campaign for the latest Carrington graduate tipped for success in the game. However, Williams subsequently found first team opportunities difficult to come by and was sent out on loan with spells East Anglia with both Norwich and Ipswich. During the latter of the two, Williams fell out of favour at a promotion-chasing Tractor Boys side under then-boss Kieran McKenna as his off-field problems began to come to the fore. In May Williams was handed a 14-month suspended jail sentence for dangerous driving. The defender had been 'driving erratically' in his Audi A3 before hitting a Ford Fiesta and careering into the central reservation of the A34 in Cheshire at almost 100mph. Williams admitted he had been trying to show off to a female passenger who was sitting next to him, and a witness is said to have filmed him with a balloon by his mouth. Prosecutors said it was 'fortunate' nobody was seriously injured or killed. Judge Lamb, sitting in the Chester Crown Court, told Williams 'there was no reason for driving in the way you did' but said there was 'strong personal mitigation' after committing the offence at a time of depression. Williams, who had been partying shortly before the crash, was told he had been 'stupid' and earned 'too much too soon'.
