Fairyhouse preview: King Cuan expected to return to winning ways while O'Brien's go head-to-head in 2-year-old Maiden
A three-time winner as a juvenile in 2023, King Cuan will be expected to return to winning ways in the four-runner Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction race in Fairyhouse on Friday. The Tasleet gelding, trained by Paddy Twomey, has started favourite for each of his five starts, shaping with plenty of promise despite a tardy start on his debut at the Curragh back in May 2023. He went unbeaten for the rest of that season, impressing in a Cork maiden in September before landing a couple of valuable sales races in Naas. King Cuan, owned by the Red Lily Racing Syndicate, justified 4/7 favouritism when beating Jakajaro by a length in the Goffs Sportsmans Challenge. He subsequently coped with the step-up to seven furlongs when getting the better of Duplantis by a head in the Irish EBF Auction series Final. Unfortunately, injury kept King Cuan off the track for all of 2024. However, he made a satisfactory return to action in the listed Cork Stakes at Cork in early April, coming from the back of the field to make his challenge at the furlong-pole before weakening to finish fifth, beaten by three lengths behind Lady With The Lamp who went on to score again at listed level in Chelmsford. Although rated 1lb. below rival Tango Flare, King Cuan is expected to have the edge and might have most to fear from Noel Meade's Naas maiden winner Rowdy Yeats, a distant second to the selection's stable-companion Currawood at Cork last time. Joseph O'Brien will face off against father Aidan O'Brien at the Irish Stallion Farms EBF 2-Y-0 Maiden. File picture: Healy Racing Earlier, O'Briens Aidan and Joseph will go head-to-head in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF 2-Y-0 Maiden. Although Carriganog colt Green Soul was unlucky when pipped by Leblon Queen on his debut at Roscommon, Ballydoyle hope Extravagant is preferred on the basis of his likely improvement from a debut second to Green Sense at the Curragh. Another imposing son of Wootton Bassett, Extravagant hit a flat spot before staying on late at the Curragh and, expected to prove more effective over this longer trip, should be tough to beat. Ger O'Leary's Local Lad, fourth in a conditions race at Kempton last time, boasts a rating of 92 and sets a decent standard in the Fairyhouse For BBQs Maiden. Meanwhile, Gordon Elliott might double-up with Jigoro and Grimaud on Clonmel's hurdles card. Outpointed by Intellotto over fences in Limerick, Jigoro looks like the one to beat in the Bulmers Original Hurdle. Grimaud, who performed creditably when fourth to the classy Sunchart in Wexford, has Henry de Bromhead's course winner Trasna Na Pairce in the Botanica International Rated Novice Hurdle. And, despite an 8lb. hike for a smooth success at Wexford, Onebrightbluerose might follow-up in the Bulmers Zero Handicap Hurdle.

Conference Final: Real Betis vs Chelsea predictions, odds and betting tips
Real Betis and Chelsea go head-to-head in the 2025 UEFA Europa Conference League final on Wednesday night in Wrocław, Poland. It's an historic occasion for both clubs - Betis are appearing in their first-ever European final, while Chelsea, fresh from securing Champions League qualification, are aiming to become the first team to complete the set of winning all five major UEFA competitions. Quick Real Betis vs Chelsea tips Chelsea to win - Over 2.5 goals - Antony to score or assist - Real Betis vs Chelsea odds Find the latest football betting odds for Real Betis vs Chelsea. Our odds are provided by the Conference Final: Real Betis vs Chelsea predictions Real Betis have reached their first-ever European final, but they will face a formidable challenge in Wrocław on Wednesday. Chelsea have looked like potential winners of this competition since the group stage. Furthermore, Enzo Maresca's team is chasing a unique piece of history. The west Londoners have already lifted the Champions League, Europa League and Super Cup, as well as the now-defunct Cup Winners' Cup. If they lift the Europa Championship League on Wednesday, the Blues will become the first club to win all five of UEFA's major men's senior competitions. Chelsea warmed up for the final with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday. The victory secured fourth place in the Premier League and confirmed their return to next season's Champions League. Qualification for UEFA's elite club competition also eases the pressure on Chelsea's Italian head coach Enzo Maresca, who - despite receiving recent backing from the club - may have faced uncertainty had the Blues missed out on a top-five finish. Standing in the way of Maresca and Chelsea making history is the Italian's former mentor, Manuel Pellegrini. Under the experienced Chilean's guidance, Real Betis secured a sixth-place finish in La Liga. However, despite a strong season overall, the Seville-based side have seen a dip in form in recent weeks, collecting just three points from their final four matches. That late slump cost Betis a Champions League spot, with Spain's top five qualifying for next season's competition. It will be a big ask for the Andulusians to turn around their form ahead of such a high-stakes final. READ MORE SUN STORIES Real Betis vs Chelsea betting tips Chelsea are 2/5 to lift the trophy, Betis are 7/4. The Londoners booked their place in the final with a commanding 5-1 aggregate victory over Djurgårdens in the semi-finals. Betis had a far tougher route, edging past Fiorentina 4-3 on aggregate. Abde Ezzalzouli scored the decisive goal in extra time, netting in the 97th minute of the second leg. Our Betis vs Chelsea match betting tips follow: Chelsea to win Chelsea cruised through the group stage, finishing top with a perfect record of six wins from six. Betis, by contrast, placed 15th overall with 10 points. The Blues have looked like the strongest team in the competition throughout, and look well placed to win the final in 90 minutes. Enzo Maresca's team have had to grind out results in recent weeks. And as a result, they appear to be in a stronger position heading into the final. Despite Betis being arguably the toughest opponent Chelsea have faced in the competition, we still expect the Blues to come through comfortably. ➡️ Over 2.5 goals We're hoping - and expecting - this final to be a far better spectacle than last week's Europa League decider. Let's be honest, it won't be hard. Despite the poor finishing on display last week, there still should have been at least three goals. With the added quality on show this time around, we're predicting a more open game - perhaps with a 2-1 or 3-1 win for Chelsea. If you're looking to boost the odds, consider adding both teams to score to make it 13/10. However, given Chelsea's potential to run away with the match, we're sticking with over 2.5 goals. ➡️ Antony to score or assist Our old friend Antony is continuing the Manchester United tradition of flourishing after moving on. Since joining Real Betis in January, the Brazilian has registered nine goals and five assists in his 25 appearances across all competitions for the Andalusian side. This includes strikes in both legs of the semi-final win over Fiorentina. If Betis are to get anything from this final, don't be surprised if Antony plays a key role. Often ridiculed during his time at Old Trafford, the winger will be doubly-keen to prove that he can deliver on the big stage. ➡️ 📺 How to watch Real Betis vs Chelsea Conference Final Location : Stadion Miejski, Wrocław, Poland.

'The good days are coming' - fighting words from Amorim as Man Utd season ends on high note
Manchester United 2 Aston Villa 0 RUBEN Amorim and Manchester United finally gave their supporters some hope to cling onto as they ended Aston Villa's bid for Champions League football, with the beleaguered manager going even further in his post-match apology to fans. In keeping with club tradition, Amorim took to a microphone to address the crowd at full-time, offering the mea culpa he had promised, for overseeing United's worst season since being relegated in 1974. Those fans have barely hurled a word of criticism in Amorim's direction in the six months he has been in charge at Old Trafford, especially when he was leading them to the Europa League final, which they lost to Tottenham in midweek. And his name rang out around Old Trafford after Amad Diallo had masterminded United's biggest home league win in five largely miserable months. 'First of all, I want to apologise for this season,' Amorim told them. 'I know you are really disappointed with me and really disappointed with the team. 'Second thing, I want to say thank you. We are very grateful for your support during the season, and I know that was really hard to do this in many games. 'But now we have to make a choice. Are we staying stuck in the past - because this season is in the past; it's over - and fight each other. 'Or do we stick together and move forward. Six months ago, in my first three games in charge, we took two victories and one draw, I said to you, 'the start is coming.' 'Today, after this disastrous season, I want to tell you, the good days are coming. If there is one club alone that has proved in the past that they can overcome any situation, any disaster, it's our club, it's Manchester United Football Club.' Fighting words, although the sight of Alejandro Garnacho, axed from the squad after he took to social media to complain about his midweek omission from the Final line-up, was a reminder of the many problems facing the manager. United will listen to offers for Garnacho, adding him to a long list of sales they want to make, in addition to Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen who are out of contract and were presented for a farewell to fans after the game. Amorim tried to play down the controversy over Garnacho in his press conference. 'He's one more player of Manchester United,' he said. 'I don't know what is going to happen in the future but he's a normal player.' As for the personnel changes that he has long talked about, Amorim conceded that profit and sustainability rules are going to be a major problem for United this summer. 'With the financial rules we are limited, especially this year,' he said. 'We have to be patient because of the limitations of the fair play rules.' But, when pressed further about what had prompted him to make such a positive promise to supporters on the pitch a few minutes earlier, Amorim doubled down on his claim that the six months he has been at Old Trafford have already brought about improvements - a view hardly supported by results. 'I think we're improving as a team,' he said. 'Sometimes results don't show that but we are improving. The (Europa) final was not a good game but we were the better team, it was clear. 'We're also changing so many things at Carrington (training ground), there are so many things that will be important in the future. We did a lot of changes in six months, that a normal club would do in three years.' But such has been United's level of dysfunction this season that they could consider themselves fortunate to escape with this win, even though Villa played the entire second half with ten men after keeper Emiliano Martinez was shown a straight red for body checking Rasmus Hojlund when he was clean through, 35 yards from goal. With the game goalless, Villa had the ball in the United net on 73 minutes, after Morgan Rogers dispossessed keeper Altay Bayindir. Referee Thomas Bramall blew his whistle before the ball crossed the line, preventing VAR from over-turning his decision, although there was clearly no foul. Villa confirmed they are to make an official complaint to the Premier League about their selection of an inexperienced referee to a game with a £100 million Champions League prize at stake. 'I spoke with the referee and he knew immediately he made a mistake,' said manager Unai Emery. 'We have to accept the mistakes. I believe in VAR and I think we have very good referees in the Premier League. But sometimes they make mistakes.' The decision proved a particularly cruel blow for Villa, who at that stage were on course for a top-five finish, as United's opener came moments later when Bruno Fernandes chipped in a superb lofted pass and Diallo sprinted in to head home clinically from the corner of the six-yard box. The United youngster also won an 87th minute penalty, after being tripped by Ian Maatsen, which was converted by substitute Eriksen to complete a victory, in which United had also struck the woodwork three times.
