Value Scope: Each way horseracing tips for Royal Ascot on Thursday on ITV
Go into the King George V Stakes battle with a GUNSHIP (3.05) on your side. The form of all four of his races is extremely solid. He beat Merchant – one of today's rivals – on Newcastle's all-weather track in December and he chased home useful Michael Scofield under a penalty at Southwell.
His handicap debut third behind another of today's runners - Sing Us A Song – at Sandown was better than it looked as he came from further back than ideal.
The way he brushed aside dual subsequent winner War Hawk at Southwell last month suggests he is improving at a rapid rate and the step up to 1m4f for the first time should help. Have 2pts each-way at 9-1. Sky Bet is paying out on six places.
ICEFORD (5.00) has been progressing nicely and he looks just the right type for the Britannia Handicap.
Johnny Murtagh's Irish raider came good at the sixth attempt when getting on top of Shameful in the closing stages of a competitive 7f Curragh handicap last month.
The step up to a mile in this big-field handicap will suit him perfectly. Have 1pt each-way at 25-1. Plenty of firms are offering five places.
William Haggas has only had one previous runner in the Hampton Court Stakes in the last ten years. That was Mohaafeth and he was successful in 2021.
ARABIAN FORCE (5.35) is a typically-progressive three-year-old from the same yard.
He only made his debut little more than two months ago but he has since notched up wins at Wetherby and Salisbury.
The way he sauntered clear of last weekend's Sandown winner Gladius to record a five-length victory on his most recent start was most impressive.
This Group 3 will require another personal best but that is highly likely. Have 1pt each-way at 20-1. Several bookies are going four places.
WITCH HUNTER (6.10) won the Buckingham Palace Stakes two years ago and he looks to have an excellent chance of regaining the trophy.
He had a shot at the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot last year and he ran a cracker to finish fourth.
His nose second behind Tiber Flow in the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes was another example of his class and he's had excuses in recent handicap starts. Have 2pts each-way at 16-1. Sky Bet is paying out on seven places.

Sky Sports Super 6 guide: Free game explained and latest tips
Get the lowdown on Sky Bet's ever-popular Super 6 game – everything you need to know is included below. What is Sky Sports Super 6? Sky Sports Super 6 is an online football scores prediction game where you can land huge cash prizes. As the name suggests, players are asked to predict the scores of six matches. It's a free-to-play game that takes place weekly throughout the football season. Usually, the jackpot is £250,000 for players who get all six results correct, but to mark the start of the new Premier League season, Sky has increased the prize to a cool £1million. The seven-figure sum prize will be available for the first nine weeks of the season. If no player has got all six predictions right by the end of week nine, the one who is top of the overall leaderboard at that stage will scoop the jackpot. Read on for our latest tips, information on how to play and the prizes available. Sky Bet – Super 6 T&Cs: This competition is open only to persons aged 18 years or over resident in the UK, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and Republic of Ireland. T&Cs apply. Latest Super 6 fixtures and tips Take a look below at the latest Super 6 fixtures, our score predictions and analysis. Predictions deadline, Saturday 16 April, 3pm Brighton 1 Fulham 1 Both teams have been in good form in pre-season. Brighton have home advantage but they also have a number of new players to integrate into their team. In contrast, Fulham have been involved in minimal transfer business and should feel the benefit in terms of cohesion. We're predicting a share of the points. Sunderland 1 West Ham 2 Sunderland have shown ambition since winning promotion, transforming their squad over the summer. It could be a while before what is effectively a new team gels. West Ham can take advantage on the opening day, with striker Niclas Fullkrug having shown some impressive form in pre-season. Tottenham 2 Burnley 0 Spurs have been handed an ideal start to the season against promoted Burnley, who are favourites to be relegated. The visitors had an excellent defensive record in the Championship and could be hard to break down, while injuries have robbed Tottenham of creativity, so we're expecting a fairly narrow home victory. Wolves 1 Manchester City 3 Wolves again go into a new season having sold some of their brightest talents, with Rayan Ait-Nouri joining Manchester City over the summer and Matheus Cunha leaving for Manchester United. There are lots of questions still to be answered for City, but even with a host of new faces bedding in, they should have too much quality for the hosts. Chelsea 2 Crystal Palace 1 Crystal Palace won the Community Shield on penalties last week after a 2-2 draw with Liverpool, so they should certainly be able to give Chelsea a game at Stamford Bridge. Yet speculation over the futures of key players Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze won't help their cause. Meanwhile, the hosts have added a cutting edge to their squad over the summer with the signings of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. Manchester United 2 Arsenal 3 This is the pick of the opening fixtures. United have considerably strengthened since their poor showing last season and should be a lot more dangerous in attack. Yet while Ruben Amorim's team are very much a work in progress, Arsenal have had the luxury of fine-tuning an already strong side. They should again challenge for the title this season and we're backing them to start the new campaign with an entertaining win. Sign up to Sky Bet with the offer below and get £30 in free bets when you place any wager. How to play Super 6 To play Super 6 you either need to have an account with Sky Bet or, alternatively, you can set up a free login to just play the game. We would recommend taking the Sky Bet route as you will get free bets to use and we will show you how to do that later in this article. You can access Super 6 via Sky Bet's website or dedicated app. Either way, you just click on the button marked 'Play' and then add your score predictions for all six fixtures using the + and – tabs to set the number of goals for every team. Once you have all your six predictions ready, you have to enter your Golden Goal tie-breaker. You must predict the minute of the earliest goal in any of the six fixtures. This will be used as a tie-break, in the eventuality that more than one player gets all six predictions correct. This is essentially all there is to playing Super 6 on a weekly basis, in terms of winning the main jackpot of £1,000,000. There are also some additional contests available, which are explained below. Leaderboard There is a Super 6 leaderboard with players earning two points for a correct result and five points for a correct score. The highest scoring player each week gets a cash prize, while there is also a prize for the player who finishes top of the leaderboard at the end of the season. Head to head You can go head to head with the Sky pundit Jamie Carragher. If you're one of the players who scores more points with your predictions than Sky's expert, then you will be entered into a prize draw to win a cash prize. Leagues There is the functionality to create your own prediction leagues with friends. You can also join official club leagues and play against your fellow fans, with prizes available if you are successful. How to bet on your Super 6 predictions When you place your Super 6 predictions you will be shown the odds of an accumulator based on your Premier League picks. You can toggle between accas based on full-time result markets, over/under 2.5 goals and both teams to score. You are not only shown the odds of these accumulators, but also how much you would win from a £10 bet, with a link to take you to your Sky Bet account to place the acca. What can you win when playing Super 6? The headline news around Super 6 this season is that someone will win £1,000,000 within the first nine weeks. There are also a number of other enticing prizes available. Take a look at what's on offer. £1m till it's won For the first nine weeks of the season, there is £1million available to win for any player getting all six predictions right. Should more than one player get six predictions correct, then the Golden Goal tie-breaker will decide the winner. If no player has managed this feat at the end of nine weeks, then the player who is top of the leaderboard will get the seven-figure prize. Regular jackpot Ordinarily, the jackpot prize available for a player who gets six correct predictions over a weekend is £250,000. For a midweek round, the prize is set at £100,000. This is simply a prize that is available every week for players who get every prediction right, with the aforementioned Golden Goal tie-breaker rules applying if multiple players are successful. Top-scorer prize If no player gets all six predictions correct, then the top-scorer prize comes into play. The player who records the highest points score in a week will receive £5,000, with a correct score giving you five points and a correct result gaining two points. If a player gets five correct scores right, then they will also receive an additional bonus of £1,000. Head-to-head challenge A Sky ambassador makes predictions each week and players are challenged to beat their points score. All the players that successfully beat the ambassador's score get put into a draw to win £1,000. League champion The player who is top of the leaderboard at the end of the season wins a prize of £10,000. If there is more than one player with the same number of points at the top of the leaderboard, then the player who has predicted the most correct scores will win the prize. Should the number of points and correct scores be level between players, then the prize will be split. Official club leagues Players can opt in to compete in official club leagues. Choose your favourite club and compete in a separate leaderboard against fellow fans. The winner of each individual club league at the end of the season, will win the current shirt for that team. The 100 Club To be a winner in this contest you must correctly predict the score of a fixture for which 100 players or fewer select the right result. There are cash prizes available for players who successfully enter 'The 100 Club'. The fewer the number of players who successfully predict the score, the bigger the prize. On occasions, when a relatively small number of players get a score right, they will each receive the cash prize – for example, if between 11 and 20 get a score right they each get £500. Take a look below at the breakdown of prizes on offer. Does anyone ever win Super 6? Three players won Super 6 last season by correctly predicting all six scores. Tom Kane from Southampton scooped a £1,000,000 prize when he predicted all six scorelines in September. Lee Andrews from Swansea also became an overnight millionaire when he won Super 6 in October. In January, Tom from London won a midweek round of Super 6 to land a £100,000 prize. These examples show that it's perfectly possible to win the biggest prize available with Super 6, including the £1,000,000 during the early weeks. With a variety of smaller prizes also available, there's a great incentive to sign up with Sky Bet and play Super 6 every week.

What could the planned UFC fight at the White House look like?
It's a seismic moment in a sporting promotion that has had a stratospheric rise since its inception three decades ago. The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is set to be staged at The White House next year, when longtime fan Donald Trump is likely to be in the front row as the fighters battle it out on the lawn. Marking the July 4 celebrations, 250 years on from the founding of the United States, it promises to be quite a spectacle. And British and Irish MMA fighters will almost certainly be entering the Octagon if the history-making event goes ahead. UFC boss Dana White, whose friendship with Trump stretches back to the early 2000s, said: 'It is definitely going to happen.' White explained that he plans to finalise the plans with the US president and his daughter Ivanka at the end of the month. While the UFC has been staged all over the world, it would be the first time that it has been hosted in the seat of power. The main fight events are large arena shows drawing tens of thousands of people, and it's unclear where exactly where the show would take place, but it's thought it would be staged on the lawn. 'When he called me and asked me to do it, he said, 'I want Ivanka in the middle of this,'' White told CBS Mornings of his discussions with Trump. 'So Ivanka reached out to me and her and I started talking about the possibilities, where it would be and, you know, I put together all the renderings.' Trump previously said that a UFC event will take place 'on the grounds of the White House' on Independence Day. 'We have a lot of land there,' he added. The president, speaking at a rally in Iowa last month, said the event could be staged in front of between 20,000 and 25,000 people. An AI image produced by a picture agency shows the eight-sided cage in front of the presidential building in Washington DC. In real life, the arena would likely be comprised of thousands of seats, with room for light shows and performers. What is clear is that the UFC can put on extravagant shows, best exemplified by the dazzling spectacle at the Las Vegas Sphere for Mexican Independence Weekend in September 2024. British undisputed UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is the most obvious pick for a UK fighter to feature on the White House card. However, in conversation with combat sports broadcaster Ariel Helwani, it became clear that he is concentrating on his upcoming fight with Frenchman Ciryl Gane in October. Aspinall said the thought of a White House fight with Jon 'Bones' Jones, widely regarded as having ducked the Brit before leaving retiring, had occupied 'zero seconds in my mind.' The champion, from Wigan, explained: 'Not interested, and the world shouldn't be interested, because what's the point? It's false hope.' Asked if he would still be interested in fighting at the White House without Jones making an unlikely comeback, he replied: 'Not particularly, it doesn't not interest me, but it doesn't really interest me to be honest. I'm not really fussed by it, I'll fight anywhere, it doesn't really bother me. 'It would be a cool experience but I'm not like…I feel like the Americans should get the shot at the White House, I'm not American, Trump and the political stance in America doesn't really bother me. 'I'm not really a big Trump supporter or against that stuff is just irrelevant to me.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Conor McGregor is another name from this side of the pond who has been linked with an appearance at the White House show. Also speaking to Helwani, UFC fighter Michael Chandler, who was soundly beaten by Scouser Paddy Pimblett in April, said he would 'love' to fight the Irish former two-times champion at the venue. More Trending 'That's the one everyone wants, that's the pinnacle,' he said of the yet to be announced White House card. 'As a fighter you want the biggest stages the brightest lights the biggest money you possibly can with the shortest window of opportunity you have in the sport and fighting on the White House lawn with the president of the United States… 'I was just with someone else from his team and he said people from England will be coming to pay their respects, it's going to be special.'
