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.'

Crystal Palace launch scathing attack on Uefa over Europa League demotion
Crystal Palace have launched a blistering attack on Uefa over their demotion from the Europa League, claiming certain clubs 'have a unique privilege and power'. The club said that 'sporting merit was rendered meaningless' after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) rejected their appeal to stay in the Europa League as FA Cup winners having been judged by Uefa to have broken multi-club ownership (MCO) regulations. Palace said: 'This growing and unhealthy influence has shattered the hopes and dreams of Crystal Palace supporters, and does not bode well for aspirational teams all over Europe competing to progress when rules and sanctions are unevenly applied in the most flagrant way.' Palace also said that Uefa's rules ignored informal partnerships which did not fall under the remit of MCO rules. Their former investor John Textor, whose erstwhile stake in Palace is at the heart of the case, has traded players between his clubs – Ligue 1 Lyon and Botafogo in Brazil – and clubs belonging to Evangelos Marinakis, the Nottingham Forest owner. Forest have told Uefa from the start that Palace had to be demoted and have pursued the case. The Uefa decision, upheld by Cas, has meant Palace's Europa League place has gone to Forest. Palace said: 'Multi-club structures hide behind the charade of a 'blind trust' while clubs such as ours, who have no connection to another club whatsoever, are prevented from playing in the same competition. To compound the injustice, clubs that appear to have huge informal arrangements with each other are also allowed to participate and even possibly play against each other.' Big MCO groups such as City Football Group, Red Bull, and Ineos have all used the blind trust process to gain access to the same Uefa competition for more than one of their clubs. Palace said that the Cas board that heard the case was restricted in the evidence it could hear because of issues around disclosure, and also the calling of witnesses. For instance, it was never disclosed what agreements were reached with other clubs that did not meet the March 1 deadline for MCO clubs. Forest, who briefly faced the prospect of competing in the Champions League as well as Marinakis' Olympiacos, agreed a 'compliance structure' with Uefa that meant the blind trust process was completed after March 1. Palace said: 'The denial of all disclosure requests to obtain correspondence between the relevant parties, the refusal to allow witness testimony from those involved, and the general lack of formality and respect for law mean decisions cannot be properly challenged, leading to pre-determined outcomes. 'Uefa's decision has wider implications for the governance of the sport. A combination of poorly conceived regulations and their unequal application means our brilliant fans will be deprived of the chance to watch this team compete in the Europa League for the first time in our history.' Palace called upon Uefa to 'pass coherent rules' that allowed for clubs to resolve issues and a 'proper appeal process'. It noted that, as with the Manchester City case against the Premier League, such issues could eventually find their way into law courts if the governing body could not adapt. Palace, the FA Cup winners, were ultimately ejected because Uefa judged that former MCO investor John Textor controlled 50 per cent of a 43 per cent stake in the club by the March 1 MCO deadline. Textor's Eagle Football then also owned a stake in Ligue 1 Lyon which had qualified for the Europa League after Paris St-Germain won the French Cup final in May, creating what Uefa saw as the MCO issue. The previous year Uefa's Club Financial Control Body had moved the deadline forward to March 1 for MCOs to place control of one of their clubs in a blind trust. That would enable MCO clubs to compete in the same competition. When the issue became clear, Palace's key decision-makers, Steve Parish and boardroom allies, David Blitzer and Josh Harris, argued that Textor did not have decisive influence at the club. Textor also said the same. In addition, Palace argued that others had been able to remedy MCO issues after the March 1 deadline. Yet even the sale of Eagle Football's stake to US investor Woody Johnson last month for $200m could not change Uefa's view. At Cas, Forest, named as a respondent, sent a five-strong legal team that argued the case on behalf of their Europa League participation and that of Lyon. Palace said that the Cas appeal process made it 'almost impossible to receive a fair hearing'. In order to gain a Uefa licence, critical to being able to compete in Uefa competition, a club must agree to resolve any governance issues with Cas. Palace will now have to play a qualifying double header for the Europa Conference League on August 21 and August 28. A statement from Cas said: 'CAS rules are long-standing and designed to ensure fairness in the sporting world. 'In line with this practice, all Parties on 8 August 2025 were given a formal opportunity to raise any concern about the running of the process. No objections were raised to state that the right to a fair hearing was not respected.'

'The players know what is at stake'
Mansfield Town left-back Stephen McLaughlin has said the squad "know what is at stake" ahead of their Carabao Cup tie at local rivals Chesterfield on 35, joined the club from Southend in September 2020 but is yet to experience the derby with Chesterfield, who were once voted by fans as Mansfield's biggest returning to the English Football League last season, the Spireites will be looking to get long-awaited revenge on Nigel Clough's side after a 1-0 defeat in April 2018 helped confine them to relegation to the National League that year."We knew from when the fixture was released, it's been talked about and the players know what is at stake for the fans," McLaughlin, whose long-range strike opened the scoring in the Stags' eventual 2-1 defeat in League One by newly-promoted Doncaster Rovers on Saturday, told BBC Radio Nottingham."It's a really important game – I know our end is sold out, so, I'm really looking forward to it. 'The further you go, the more special they become' Almost 10 years ago, McLaughlin was preparing to take on Tottenham Hotspur as a Nottingham Forest player in the third-round of the he hopes a cup result can kick-start his side's campaign after they succumbed to back-to-back defeats in their opening two league fixtures."Cup games are different, I don't know what's about it, the further you go, the more special they become," he added."Within a couple of games, you could be playing at [Manchester] United."I know a lot of people [would say] you'd rather be out of it because they've got their eyes on other things."But I think a cup run is always good because then you get to use the full squad as well - it's always a good competition if you can go far in it."

This sport has a self-confessed safety problem - could flashing mouthguards be the answer?
Rugby chiefs have admitted to Sky News their sport is not "incredibly safe" due to the "high risk of injuries", while insisting players should be encouraged they are prioritising addressing concussion concerns. The candour on the dangers from head collisions comes ahead of the Women's Rugby World Cup starting in England next week. At that tournament, for the first time at a World Cup, smart mouthguards will flash red if they detect potential concussions that require further assessment by measuring the force and movement from a head impact. "We could stick our head in the sand and pretend something doesn't exist, but that's not going to help anybody," World Rugby science and medical manager Dr Lindsay Starling told Sky News. "It is a sport that has a high risk of injuries and that comes from the physical contact nature of the game, which is also what we all love about watching it. And so that can't be ignored. "We can't pretend that the sport is incredibly safe and there's no risk of injury. And so by creating more awareness when there has been a substantial head knock, that's important to educate people." There is an expectation one player per match could be removed due to potential head injury at the World Cup, which opens with England playing the US in Sunderland next Friday. Players would then leave the pitch for a head injury assessment. Footage is then analysed to see how steady players are after the impact. Then they would be asked a series of questions to test memory and concentration. Players are asked to remember words from a list read out and to repeat numbers in a different sequence. A critical time for rugby Rugby being so candid about the potential risks from head injuries comes as the sport is facing legal action from more than 700 mostly male former players who claim leaders were negligent in failing to take reasonable action to protect them from brain injuries. The case is progressing slowly with challenges, including around historic medical records. "Concussion is obviously incredibly serious," Dr Starling said at the England team HQ at Twickenham. "It's absolutely our number one priority in terms of understanding why they happen and doing what we can to reduce that. "The other side of that argument, though, is that we know this information. It would be more scary or more of a worry if we didn't know that." World Rugby believes female players are more susceptible to being concussed than their male counterparts but at "much lower magnitudes". They are still exploring why. It could be due to physical differences in neck strength and blood flow metabolic rates, or it could combine with female players accessing more technical training later on. Parental concern over women's game But how does the spectre of brain injuries chime with the mission of the World Cup to super-charge the women's game in England, by expanding the audience and encouraging youngsters to play? Especially with those flashing mouthguards warning of potential concussions. Dr Starling admits it creates a concern. But to parents doubting whether their children should take up rugby, there's an attempt to offer some reassurances from those overseeing safety, citing enhanced technology. "We've never been in a situation where we know more about what the risk is," World Rugby chief medical officer Dr Eanna Falvey told Sky News. "That will improve over time, so our job is to give parents the autonomy to make a decision that they can about their daughter's playing. Ferocity at the heart of rugby "If their daughter wants to play, we want to help them arrive at a decision that they're happy with the level of exposure the daughter has and what they can do about it. "There's a lot of health dangers from not being involved in sport. Physical inactivity is the biggest health concern in the Western world right now. "So being involved with team sport has huge benefits." And Prof Falvey emphasised the essence of rugby is, at times, the ferocity. "It's a contact sport," he said. "Nobody shies away from that fact. I think people who play the game play it because they want to play contact sports. Our job is to make that game as safe as we can."
