Calandagan finally wins his big one as he comes from last to first in the King George at Ascot
LAND GRAB Calandagan finally wins his big one as he comes from last to first in the King George at Ascot Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CALANDAGAN has been called lots of names over the last 12 months, not many of them nice. Well, now he'll forever be known as a King George winner after a performance which silenced the doubters in no uncertain terms. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Calandagan (11-10f) won a King George thriller at Ascot Credit: Getty The horse who long seemed destined to go down as one of the game's great bridesmaids had every opportunity to throw in the towel when Kalpana quickened away and push came to shove. He could have folded like a cheap suit when asked to make a lung-busting run after the filly who'd got first run and was getting 3lb, or hoisted the white flag when eye-balling her in the heat of battle. Instead, he dug deeper than the Channel Tunnel to give his burgeoning trainer Francis-Henri Graffard — a coming force on the world stage — his second King George in a row. Magnifique. Not so the Ballydoyle tactics, which even left Graffard and winning jockey Mickael Barzalona scratching their heads. Here they had the 5-2 second favourite in Jan Brueghel, a horse with abundant stamina who outstayed Calandagan at Epsom two months ago and for whom a strong, end-to-end gallop was vital. Everyone expected the 40-1 rag Continuous to set off on his usual pace-making duties to ensure it wasn't a tactical race. Puzzlingly, he was dropped in behind his stablemate and they ended up going a crawl as Jan Brueghel did the donkey work. It made little sense — not that Barzalona was complaining. He was on the horse with the best turn of foot, so he must have been licking his lips. Mind you, Andrew Balding's fine filly Kalpana showed an impressive burst of her own as she kicked for home at the two-furlong pole. Oisin Murphy moved up going strongly as Jan Brueghel struggled to go through the gears as the pace lifted before she suddenly exploded two or three lengths clear. It looked for the best part of a furlong that Calandagan would be unable to reel her in but, as all the top-class ones do, he quickened once, quickened twice and was going away by a length at the line. He was second in the Juddmonte International, Champion Stakes, Sheema Classic and Coronation Cup — but he's the Chantilly shirker no more. Graffard said: 'I never had any doubts about his will to win, when he's been beaten he has had excuses. 'He was really far back at York last year and he quickened really strongly, probably too late. He was beaten by a good horse in Dubai and at Epsom things didn't go to plan. 'I never thought it was because he didn't want to try and his jockeys have never reported that to me either. 'This is the fifth time Mickael has ridden him, he has been getting to know him and knows what to do on him now. There is no doubt anymore about the horse.' In hindsight, maybe Murphy could have held on for a few more seconds on Kalpana before committing her for home. But Balding was chuffed with the run as she continues to build towards her D-Day in the Arc. He said: 'I'm very proud of her, she's run her heart out again and just been beaten by a good horse. We'll work back from the Arc, now.' It looks like the Juddmonte International at York is next on the agenda for Calandagan, where a mouthwatering showdown with Field Of Gold awaits. Tres bien.

I'm a ‘midlife make-up artist' & swear by a ‘press & roll' tip – it covers eye bags & reduces the appearance of wrinkles
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PROFESSIONAL beauty guru has shared a simple hack to cover eye bags, whilst reducing the appearance of wrinkles. So if you're not sure how to apply concealer correctly, you've come to the right place and will need to listen up. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A professional make-up artist has shared a top tip to cover up eye bags Credit: tiktok/@primalwoman 2 With this trick, you'll need to ditch your beauty blender and use your fingers to blend in concealer Credit: tiktok/@primalwoman Carina, who is passionate about empowering women in their prime, is a 'midlife make-up artist' who works at a NARS counter in Southampton. Now, the brunette beauty has demonstrated how to ensure concealer sits correctly and in the most flattering way possible under the eyes. Posting on social media and sharing her expert advice, Carina responded to a comment that read: 'I find the concealer goes into my wrinkles and they look worse around the eyes and crows feet.' To this, Carina stressed the importance of using the right product, that is the correct shade for you. According to this make-up pro, to ensure your eyes don't look sunken or wrinkly, you'll need a matte product that matches your skin tone. To demonstrate, she used the Soft Matte Complete Concealer from NARS. But instead of just applying the concealer to the area, Carina explained that it's important to hydrate the area too. As a result, she used a tiny amount of eye cream, the size of a rice grain, with a small amount of concealer and stressed: 'Take your concealer that matches your skin and make a little paste with that.' Once she'd made her paste, Carina applied it lightly under her eye and then shared her simple technique, which involves using your finger, rather than a beauty blender or brush, to blend and smudge in the product. Carina added: 'Then just press and roll, press and roll and press and roll that into the dip.' From banana skins to ear massages - five natural anti-aging hacks revealed Following this, she confirmed: 'You might want to go over that a couple of times, but you can see that by pressing it on and also using that hydrating cream, it does look better. 'But that's because we've gone in with the same colour as our base - you'll never be able to get rid of it completely, but what you can do is try to minimise it.'

Use a primer before applying foundation for a smoother finish Carina stressed the importance of choosing a concealer that isn't a lighter colour than your foundation. She claimed that if you do so, you will highlight the area and 'bring attention to it.' As a result, she described this method as 'camouflaging the problem.' You can see that by pressing it on and also using that hydrating cream, it does look better Carina The content creator acknowledged that hiding problem areas with make-up is all about 'tricks and placement' whilst 'playing with light and dark' shades. Following this, she concluded: 'Just remember, if you're finding it goes into wrinkles, you want something that is coverage but not drying and matte.'

Top beauty trends for 2025 Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook spoke exclusively to Fabulous about the big beauty trends for 2025. Haircare Hair gloss treatments are a must-have as beauty enthusiasts love the salon-quality shine and enhanced colour delivered by the trending treatment. Hair glosses are multifunctional, as they nourish the hair while offering a vibrant, healthy-looking finish, combining 2025's core trends. This treatment is perfect for those seeking an affordable, at-home glow-up. 2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments. Skincare Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance their skin's appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. 'Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to achieve a flawless, youthful complexion. Skincare will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine. Ginseng cleansing oil and panthenol cream are among the trending products for 2025.
