Argentine Tango booked for Lowther Stakes bid
The Mattmu filly has kept on improving all season, winning a Listed race at Newmarket before finishing third to Venetian Sun in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes.
Last week at Goodwood she found only the Ger Lyons-trained Lady Iman too good in the Molecomb Stakes over five furlongs and will step back up to six at York for the Great Habton trainer.
'She's come out of Goodwood really well. She's tough, she must be because she's had seven races now and keeps coming back for more,' said Easterby.
'You get racehorses every now and again who just want to gallop and she is one of them.
'She'll go back up to six furlongs now, she definitely runs in the Lowther next and she won't be without a chance.
'She's been a bit of a star for us already this season.'

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A so-called friendly between Real Betis and Como descended into chaos after players from both sides were seen throwing punches at one another. The Spanish and Italian clubs were playing their penultimate friendlies before the competitive season starts for them.

Cesc Fabregas' Serie A side won the clash 3-2, but not before trying to go 12 rounds with their rivals after a stunning brawl broke out at the end of the first half. Former West Ham star Pablo Fornals was at the centre of the brawl as he exchanged blows with Máximo Perrone. The rivals were seen squaring up to one another before they got involved in a shoving match.

However, he was unable to do so as Betis and Como players rushed over to intervene, before many of them also ended up in grappling matches of their own while trying to diffuse the situation. There was one unfortunately funny moment in the melee as Cucho Hernandez came flying in to try and land a punch on a rival, only to punch his own team-mate, Natan, in the face instead. Fornals avoided being sent off despite landing the first blow, with the same lack of punishment also going to Hernandez following his attempted flying punch.

In the aftermath, ex-Arsenal star Hector Bellerin tried to speak to the referee to get the situation under control. Dele Alli tipped for Rangers switch | Transfers Exposed But the Spaniard instead became more and more animated himself as he grew frustrated with the referee after he had also sent him off. The 30-year-old was guided away from the official while still protesting, before tempers between the teams flared again by the tunnel. Bellerin's red card was reversed before the end of the first half. It remains to be seen whether any retrospective punishment could be enforced.

'Not a great fit' - Chelsea urged to avoid £40m transfer mistake
Chelsea are still active in the transfer market (Picture: Getty) Pat Nevin is unconvinced that a £40million move for Manchester United outcast Alejandro Garnacho would be in Chelsea's best interests. The Blues have already made a string of eye-catching signings this summer, with Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Estevao all arriving. However, boosted by their money-spinning Club World Cup triumph, Chelsea appear to not be finished in the transfer market just yet. Versatile defender Jorrel Hato has arrived from Ajax, while Enzo Maresca's side are also exploring a move for fellow Dutch international Xavi Simons. And elsewhere, Chelsea remain linked with a move for Garnacho, who appears to have no future at United after falling out with Ruben Amorim at the end of last season. Your ultimate guide to the football season In The Mixer: Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every week – click here and sign up before Friday to make sure you don't miss the first edition. Chelsea tried to sign Garnacho in January last season, and could renew their efforts late in the summer window after United dropped their asking price to just £40m. But Nevin believes his former side would be unwise to pursue a move for the Argentine international given the host of wide attacking options already at Maresca's disposal. Chelsea are still credited with interest in Alejandro Garnacho (Picture: Getty) 'I don't see Alejandro Garnacho as a great fit at Chelsea,' Nevin told football betting site BetVictor. 'Chelsea might do it to make money, but is he going to come and light up Chelsea more than Pedro Neto, whose professional attitude, his work rate he's given for the team has been absolutely fantastic? 'There's a whole bunch of other players in that position. Jamie Gittens has come in, Chelsea also have Estevao from Brazil with a lot of expectation, how many players do you need there? Estevao is one of several new attacking players Chelsea have already signed this summer (Picture: Getty) '£40 million isn't to be sniffed at, you don't make that much more than that for getting into the Champions League and having a good run. Do you want to spend that on Garnacho who may or may not do okay? More Trending 'Also, if it doesn't work at Chelsea and it kind of worked averagely at best at Manchester United, there's no big profit there. 'So it would surprise me, but I am often surprised by Chelsea.' After a delayed summer break due to their progress in the Club World Cup, Chelsea only returned for pre-season on Monday, giving them just 13 days to prepare for their first Premier League game against Crystal Palace. The Blues will have to just two warm-up friendlies, with their first coming against Bayer Leverkusen on Friday. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
