Scandinavia in a different league to Bahrain Trophy rivals
As the race progressed he loomed up beside the front runner to take the lead three furlongs from home and from there on it was plain sailing as he prevailed by an easy eight and a half lengths.
Paddy Power were very impressed and cut the winner to 6-1 from 20s for the Betfred St Leger.
Paul Smith, son of co-owner Derrick Smith, said: 'He seems to have progressed nicely from Ascot and Ryan was very happy with him – he said he's uncomplicated, he got into a lovely rhythm and we could have some fun with him over those longer distances now.
'He was out wide for a long way at Ascot but he bounced out of the race very well and really enjoyed the ground today.
'The Irish Leger and the English Leger, all those sort of races are open to him and he could be a Cup horse next year, perhaps. We can plot our way towards all those nice staying races at the end of the year now.'
The current ante-post favourite for the St Leger is stablemate and dual Derby winner Lambourn and Smith added: 'There's lots of options open and I think we'll see how these horses get on over the festivals as after here we've got Goodwood and York coming up.
'He's in the mix for all those top races.'

Horse racing goes on strike for the first time in extraordinary move
Four race meetings on September 10 at Lingfield Park, Carlisle, Uttoxeter and Kempton Park will no longer take place that day and will be rescheduled Horse racing will go on strike on September 10 for the first time in the history of the sport. The extraordinary move is in protest at the Government's proposed betting tax increase. Four race meetings on September 10 at Lingfield Park, Carlisle, Uttoxeter and Kempton Park will no longer take place that day and will be rescheduled. The strike is the day before the start of the historic four-day St Leger festival at Doncaster Racecourse. On the same day, the sport will host a major event in Westminster where senior leaders will be joined by owners, trainers and jockeys to highlight the threat of the Treasury's proposal on an industry which is worth £4.1billion to the UK economy. The shock announcement comes as British Racing's 'Axe the Racing Tax' campaign cranked up a gear in advance of the Autumn Budget. The campaign is urging the Government to scrap the Treasury's proposal to bring existing online betting duties into one single rate. Campaigners say it would have devastating consequences for the nation's second-largest spectator sport that supports 85,000 jobs and which is attended by almost five million people each year. Economic analysis commissioned by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has shown that aligning the current 15% tax rate paid by bookies on racing with that of online games of chance – currently taxed at 21% – by harmonising all remote gambling duties, could have a destructive impact on the sport with a £330 million revenue hit to the industry in the first five years, and putting 2,752 jobs at risk in the first year alone. Racing's decision not to race on September 10 is unprecedented. Race meetings in Britain take place on 363 days a year, with the exception of certain seasonal holidays. With the exception of meetings being called off due to adverse weather, equine virus outbreak and national crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic, this will be the first time in history that the sport has taken a collective decision not to race in protest at a Government proposal. Brant Dunshea, Chief Executive at the British Horseracing Authority said: 'We have decided to take the unprecedented decision to cancel our planned racing fixtures on 10th September to highlight to Government the serious consequences of the Treasury's tax proposals which threaten the very future of our sport. 'British Racing is already in a precarious financial position and research has shown that a tax rise on racing could be catastrophic for the sport and the thousands of jobs that rely on it in towns and communities across the country. 'This is the first time that British Racing has chosen not to race due to Government proposals. We haven't taken this decision lightly but in doing so we are urging the Government to rethink this tax proposal to protect the future of our sport which is a cherished part of Britain's heritage and culture.'

‘New Zidane' to Amorim outcast: Kobbie Mainoo at career crossroads
Remember Kobbie Mainoo? The lad from Stockport heralded as Manchester United's new midfield general? A player likened at 19 to Zinedine Zidane by Paul Scholes and whose 2024 FA Cup final winner toppled the noisy neighbours from across town when he ghosted into Manchester City's area before a silky smooth touch and finish past Ederson? Now, at a club of serial false dawns and zero title challenges since Sir Alex Ferguson retired 12 years ago, Mainoo is at a career crossroads. As Ruben Amorim becomes the latest manager to try to build United a shiny new world, Mainoo is a mere substitute. The Portuguese has no place for him in his 3-4-3 formation after a damning assessment that Mainoo lacks legs for the engine room or the pace to operate as one of the two 10s. Rewind to the August after Mainoo's Cup final goal and his emergence as England's star turn at the summer's European Championship and reading Scholes' take on him is quasi-surreal. 'He's the nearest thing I've seen to Zidane in taking a ball, receiving the ball, cruising past people,' gushed a man considered the pre-eminent schemer of Ferguson's gilded reign. 'The first time I saw him I remember that calmness. The way he received the ball with confidence; I just couldn't believe such a young player could do that.' Confidence and calmness seem the ideal blend for the footballer asked to patrol the relentless midfield traffic of the elite game where matches are decided. Not for Amorim. Well, not Mainoo's version. And so, as the close of the market loomed, the head coach pursued Brighton's Carlos Baleba to fill a hole caused by his lack of faith in Mainoo. 'We have a lack of pace, especially in the middle of the park and you can feel it is hard to win and bring the ball,' was Amorim's searing verdict after a tepid goalless draw with Leeds in Stockholm on 19 July. Mainoo, a half-time change in Sweden's capital for Bruno Fernandes, again failed to convince the boss. So we saw Amorim's courting of Baleba, for whom Brighton's asking price of about £100m for a still raw 21-year-old has prompted United to cool their interest. On FridayYesterday Fabian Hürzeler signalled that the Cameroonian would not be moving. 'Very, very, very confident,' Brighton's head coach said of his feelings on whether Baleba would stay. 'I didn't see any change in him. He only changed his hair; that was the only change he made in the last two weeks. Overall, he seems to be in a really good place. He's enjoying it with his teammates. He's enjoying being a Brighton player. He's very grateful to have the progress he made in the last season.' Amorim may turn to alternative options including his former Sporting captain Morten Hjulmand. But the strategy of his first summer window in charge has been questionable. To land two No 10s, a No 9, and no 'pace in midfield' as Amorim tries to revamp United screams of lopsided thinking before Arsenal's arrival for Sunday's curtain-raiser. Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo are the new playmakers, and Benjamin Sesko the centre-forward. Yet how the centre of the Portuguese's team fares against title-contending visitors will provide a barometer of how crucial the market's closing days are for the Amorim-Jim Ratcliffe project. To splurge £62.5m on prising Cunha from Wolves, £71m on Mbeumo from Brentford and £73.7m on Sesko from RB Leipzig for a total £207.2m outlay but still leave the heart of the side lacking as 1 September nears seems portentous. Amorim, his director of football, Jason Wilcox, the chief executive, Omar Berrada, and their boss, Ratcliffe, may hide behind the horse-trading that can be chasing players' signatures. But all rivals face the same wheeling-dealing challenge, and not all have the financial muscle that can help lure recruits with lucrative salaries as United do. More damning is how midfield has been a glaring issue for a relative age. Basically since last Christmas when Amorim decided Mainoo was not able to hustle up and down the pitch; an intriguing assessment for a then teenager previously etched on to the team sheet under Erik ten Hag and who started England's Euro 2024 final defeat by Spain. Last term two separate muscle injuries ruled Mainoo out for 83 days. The first, from 17 October to 11 November, came in the period when Amorim was appointed to replace Ten Hag; the second (10 February-7 April) came with Mainoo an established bench-warmer. Mainoo then had to watch an ageing and paceless Casemiro line up ahead of him in May's 1-0 Europa League final defeat by Tottenham, the latest of the stark notices from Amorim that began when he tried rejigging Mainoo's position over the winter. January's 2-0 Europa League group game win at FCSB featured him as one of the 10s (alongside Christian Eriksen). Mainoo scored but the following week at Crystal Palace he was moved to a false 9 berth. United lost 2-0 and Amorim hooked him after 70 minutes for Rasmus Højlund. Five days later, back as a 10 for the 2-1 Cup victory over Leicester, he lasted 64 minutes. Next came the second injury, new contract talks stalling (Mainoo wants his £52,000-a-week terms upped to about £180,000, whereas United's offer is nearer £100,000), the club being open to offers for him and only four starts after he returned to fitness for United's closing 12 matches, none in Amorim's prioritised competition, the Europa League. Now with Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte ahead of him for Amorim's two midfield spots (plus Casemiro maybe, too), and Cunha/Mbeumo beginning as the preferred 10 axis, Mainoo has what may be an unwinnable fight to regain a berth in the XI. On Friday Amorim said of Sesko: 'First of all, physically he's ready. That is a big component in our league.' How Mainoo must wish the head coach viewed him the same.

Joy for Lampard and Steel City woe - Aaron McLean's EFL takeaways
Saturday's EFL action provided the usual thrills and spills we've come to expect over the Peterborough, Hull and Bradford striker and Final Score pundit Aaron McLean gave his five takeaways from what we learned across the Championship, League One and League Two. 'Fantastic result for Frank Lampard' Coventry City came out on top of a topsy-turvy eight-goal thriller against Midlands rivals Derby County at Sky Blues twice led but then went 3-2 behind before eventually running out 5-3 "It's a fantastic result for Frank Lampard. At one point it might have seemed like they threw it away when they allowed Derby back into it, but it was great character from Frank Lampard's side."I think it's definitely a statement. Since Frank's come through the door, he has restored belief in that club massively."The progression they have made under him is massive and they will be looking to kick on now this season." Steel City becomes the city of woe There's not been much to cheer about in the Steel City so far this Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday are pointless after their opening two Championship matches having changed their respective managers in the Blades, who lost last season's Championship play-off final to Sunderland, went down 1-0 at Swansea City, while beleaguered Wednesday lost 3-0 at home to Stoke "Really disappointing from Sheffield United, I think they're still suffering a hangover from last season."Obviously with the change of manager as well, Ruben Selles coming in, at the minute things don't seem to be gelling."Sheffield seems a tough place to be at the moment. When you look at Sheffield Wednesday, as well - the transfer embargo, the protests, and the results on the pitch, there's so many things going wrong."It's sad to see because it's such a big club, when they are winning games, Hillsborough is one of the best places in the country to play."The fans don't have their football club at the moment and until it is sold there are going to be more dark days like today." Surprise package Stevenage early pace-setters in League One Stevenage's 2-0 home victory against Northampton Town sent them to the summit of League third league win out of three means Alex Revell's side are now the only team to have a 100% record in the third "Alex Revell has really got the boys playing. What he has done in a short space of time, along with his 10 new signings so far, he's made them believe in the project."Last season, they were probably a bit inconsistent and that's probably why they fell away but, if they continue to play in the way that they are playing, they will definitely be challenging for a play-off spot." Ten-man Blackpool see off League One favourites Huddersfield Ten-man Blackpool claimed a hard-fought 3-2 victory against Huddersfield Town at Bloomfield Road, with all of the goals coming in the first 31 Niall Ennis went from hero to zero as he received a straight red card in the first half after scoring a quick-fire double for the Tangerines but Steve Bruce's side held on to claim their first points of the "Great result for Steve Bruce and Blackpool. They did a job today against one of the favourites for the title in Huddersfield."They've made a lot of big signings, Alfie May notably being the biggest - he guarantees Town goals, but Steve Bruce has done what he has done year in, year out."He brings together a group of players who are going to work hard. For them to win 3-2, after being down to 10 men, just shows the character that they've got within their dressing room." MK Dons 'are going to take some stopping' MK Dons put in a five-star performance to thrash Cheltenham Town in League Warne's side were widely tipped for promotion in the summer and, following an opening-day draw, have now registered back-to-back victories in the fourth tier as they climb into the early-stage promotion "They've spent a lot of money, they've brought in a lot of experienced players, Nathanial Mendez-Laing and Callum Paterson - they have benefited from the woes of Sheffield Wednesday."They've come in and hit the ground running - Paterson, two goals and two assists so far to kick the season off."Now that they're on a roll, I think they are going to take some stopping." Aaron McLean was talking to BBC Sport England's Matthew Cresswell
