Nick Griggs breaks four-minute mile at Mary Peters Track
The Tyrone man recorded an impressive 3.55.87 at the British Milers Meeting, which was just outside his own Irish U23 record. The Irish age group champion had a tortuous six months period when a serious leg injury sidelined him following his silver medal in December's U22 European Cross Country. Despite the heavy rain, Griggs assiduously followed the pacemaker to pass the halfway mark on course to a fine time. The 20 year-old's finishing time was over four seconds faster than his four minute objective and nearly five seconds ahead of second placed Andrew McGill of Cambuslang ( 4.00.43 ) followed by Dublin's Philip Marron (4.00.44). This is an impressive start to Griggs comeback campaign where a possible Irish selection for the Tokyo World Championships in September cannot be ruled out . There were a host of personal best times with a small team of Australian athletes leading the throng. This included Victoria's Hamish Donohue who had the fastest 800 metres time of the day with a 1.48.58 followed by teammate Max Shervington (1.49.00). Not to be outdone another Aussie Zoe Toland was close to her PB to take the 3,000 metres in 9.17.84. Runner up was Belgrave's Grace Richardson in just under nine minutes and 19 seconds. Ireland got the better of Australia in the 800 metres when Alex Neill of Providence College was a clear winner in a PB of 2. 02.50 ahead of teammate Emma Moore (2.03.54) and Australian Rebekah Newton (2.04.43) . Sale's Thomas Moran took eight seconds off his 3,000 metres best time to win in 8.02.35 just ahead of Gifford's Oliver MacDonald (8.03.90). Dundrum's Eimear Maher took the 1,500 metres in 4.13.33 . Fastest 400 metres athletes were David Ryan (47.50 secs) and Joe Doddy (47.84 secs).

Lead Artist and Dancing Gemini face Queen Anne rematch
Notable Speech (Charlie Appleby) and Rosallion (Richard Hannon) were first and second respectively in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket last year, before Rosallion landed the Irish version at the Curragh and then the St James's Palace Stakes. He had his first run since then when third in the Lockinge, one place in front of Notable Speech. Teal, who had a valuable winner at York on Saturday, is looking forward to what will be a big day. He said: 'There are only a couple more days to go now, so it's squeaky bum time, but it's very exciting. He's had his last little blow, nothing serious, but just a little healthy exercise. He's all good.' Adding further spice to the line-up of 11 are Sardinian Warrior, a stablemate of Lead Artist who found only Sosie too good in the Prix d'Ispahan, American ace Carl Spackler, who is now in new ownership and with Australian trainer Ciaron Maher, Simon and Ed Crisford's smart performer Quddwah and Aidan O'Brien's Diego Velazquez. In the King Charles III Stakes, Australian speedster Asfoora bids to retain her crown in a bumper field of 23, while the Coventry Stakes invariably throws up smart juveniles and this year promises to be no exception, with Postmodern (Hamad Al Jehani) and O'Brien's unbeaten pair Gstaad and Warsaw notable among the 21 declarations.

Inside Adam Scott's incredible 96 in a row numbers as golf star eyes Major No 2
Brilliant Australian sublime again as he hears 100-straight Majors Awesome Adam Scott insists it's no fluke to be in the US Open mix during the latest charge of his remarkable Major sequence. The Adelaide ace is on the brink of a cherished second big one at Oakmont as he sits just one shot behind leader Sam Burns with 18 holes to go. Incredibly, Scott is playing in his 96th consecutive Major championship in a stretch which dates back to The Open at 2001 at Royal Lytham and St Annes. During this period, he has won the Masters in 2013, finished in the top 10 on 20 occasions and has made the cut in 72 of the 95 majors in which he's competed. Scott's number of successive Major outings is almost double that of next best Jordan Spieth amongst the current crop of players and getting over the line would be special and not happen by accident. He said: 'It would be super fulfilling. Everyone out here has got their journey, Putting ourselves in these positions doesn't just happen by fluke. It's not easy to do it. I really haven't been in this kind of position for five or six years or feeling like I'm that player. But that's what I'm always working towards. It's not that easy to figure it all out. But if I were to come away with it, it would be a hell of a round of golf and an exclamation point on my career. I'm playing good, so there's no reason not to. 'I'm playing from the fairway a lot. I've played fairly conservative,and I haven't really been forcing the issue much. Could be a different story [on Sunday]. A lot can happen in 18 holes out here. But I like what I've done so far.' Scott, whose best previous US Open finish was 10 years ago at Chambers Bay when Spieth won, has coped superbly day-to-day with changing conditions and challenges and was at it again during the Saturday round which has set him up for the final push. He said: 'It was like a readjustment. Obviously it was softer and controlling spin to some pins was very difficult. But I just tried not to force anything. I played safe shots and accepted I wasn't going to finish next to the hole when it wasn't dialled in, like on the 18th. I had not a really good number and I had to throw it out to the right. I had a terrible shot, but I hit it out to the right just not to miss it left and I think I've managed it well. 'I don't know about the yardage books, but I would say I was less overwhelmed coming to Oakmont this time and that's not a knock on the golf course, but maybe just a couple trips around the U.S. Open here, I knew what to expect.'
