LONGSHOT
CHILLINGHAM (3.15 Haydock)
He is more than capable of landing a blow in this big field. He stays well and has been running well since being fitted with a visor.
EACH-WAY THIEF
BALMORAL LADY (1.50 Sandown)
She made late gains in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot and should find this test a bit easier.
CLASSIC ENCOUNTER (2.25 Sandown)
He got up on the line at York last time out and should be right there again.

Brian Harman hauled in to be DRUG TESTED after shooting stunning second round 65 to lead The Open at Portrush
Former champion admits his golf is 'boring' and responds to criticism over controversial hobby ON THE PEE FROM USA ON THE PEE FROM USA Brian Harman hauled in to be DRUG TESTED after shooting stunning second round 65 to lead The Open at Portrush Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRIAN HARMAN was drug tested after his stunning six-under round of 65 at The Open. The American, 38, won at Hoylake two years ago to be crowned Champion Golfer of the Year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Brian Harman soared up the leaderboard with a superb 65 Credit: Reuters And his superb bogey-free second round at Royal Portrush - to go with his two-under day on Thursday - gave him the clubhouse lead when he rolled in his birdie on 18 at -8. But when he was asked if he felt similar feelings at this stage compared to 2023, Harman joked there was one identical detail. That is because, just like at Royal Liverpool, Harman was hauled in by the anti-doping team to check his pee - a common test for golfers as in other sports. Harman told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I can't get too far ahead of myself. READ MORE ON THE OPEN GUST OF WIND Awkward moment fart noise stuns Open commentators into silence on live TV "I've got a drug test after this, just like I did on the Friday at Liverpool. "Hopefully the weekend works out the same." Harman led by five shots at the midway point two years ago and ran away with it over the weekend. He finished on -13 with a six-shot gap back to Jason Day, Tom Kim, Jon Rahm and Sepp Straka in T2.

He added: "Although the golf courses are different, the style of golf is very similar, I think. Justin Thomas tries casting a spell on golf ball in desperate attempt to nail birdie putt at The Open "I'll approach the weekend the same way. "The only thing I'm really worried about is the first tee ball tomorrow, and then I'll try to hit the next one up there close to the flag. If not, go to the second hole. "It's a very boring approach that I take. I'm not trying to be heroic or do anything crazy. "I know that I've got the game to do it, and it's just a matter of executing and staying in my own head. "I love coming over here. As far as golf, it's as pure as it gets." Harman sparked controversy in 2023 when it came to light that he was a keen hunter, dubbing him the nickname the 'Butcher of Hoylake'. He stalks deer, wild boar and ducks back home and reckons he once wrestled an alligator with his bare hands. Harman said: 'I'm still a big hunter, a big fisherman. I was surprised and curious why everyone was asking so many questions about it (in Hoylake). 'I didn't realise that everyone was so upset about it - but hunting, it's a hill I'll die on, I'll sleep like a baby at night. 'I'm a very compartmentalised guy, though. I'm not thinking about hunting when I'm golfing. I'm not thinking about golfing when I'm hunting.'

Powerful chance for Slattery colt in smart renewal of Sapphire Stakes
The Sioux Nation colt has never finished outside of the first three in eight starts and landed a Listed race on his last outing. 'He looks ready for this, he's very exciting and we like him, he's a very fast horse,' said Slattery ahead of the Group Two contest. 'I'm as confident as I can be I suppose, I wouldn't swap him for another horse in there anyway. His form stands up. He's raced against Arizona Blaze twice and beaten him twice. 'Mgheera is a Group Two winner, but she's got the penalty. We've been taking our time with him, but everything has been good with him. We won't know if he's ready for the next step until we do it. 'I think with a bit of luck in running we should take a good bit of beating.' Arizona Blaze was second at Royal Ascot in the Commonwealth Cup last time out and was also second at the Breeders' Cup last autumn. 'We're expecting a big run. He's a lovely horse and he never seems to run a bad race,' said trainer Adrian Murray. 'He's been second in two Group Ones, at the Breeders' Cup and Royal Ascot, he was third at Ascot last year, he's won two Group Threes, he's been a great horse for us. 'Hopefully we get get his head in front in a Group One before the season is out. 'If the winner at Ascot (Time For Sandals) had been on his side I think he might have battled back because they were so far apart he probably thought he'd won, but that's racing. 'All ground comes alike to him, it doesn't seem to be an issue, so hopefully he's got a great chance.' Only four line up in the GAIN Railway Stakes, with Aidan O'Brien responsible for Queen Mary winner True Love and Puerto Rico, Ger Lyons runs Learntodiscover and Murray sends Power Blue, fifth in the Coventry Stakes. 'Power Blue hasn't been running badly since his debut. He's a fair horse, he's never disappointed,' said Murray. 'He ran a fair race in Ascot and hopefully he'll put it up to the favourite (True Love). 'We've all heard what Aidan says of Albert Einstein and he didn't beat him far in the Marble Hill so that must give us a great chance.' A field of nine has been declared for the Michael John Kennedy Curragh Cup, with Joseph O'Brien saddling three. Al Riffa sets the standard having been runner-up in the Hardwicke last time out, Uxmal won the Queen's Vase last year but has not run since while Leinster has been fourth in the Chester Cup and Ascot Stakes the last twice. 'Al Riffa steps up in distance for the first time and we're looking forward to seeing how that goes. Leinster ran well at Royal Ascot and Uxmal is having his first run off a lay off and it is nice to get him back on track,' said O'Brien.
