ALZAHIR (7.23 Epsom, nap)
Jennie Candlish's five-year-old was in sparkling form at Chester when winning over this distance with plenty up his sleeve. That was just four days ago and he ran well here over a stretching seven furlongs last month. His excellent young rider's claim takes off the 5lb penalty and he'll go close.
EMILY POST (4.03 Thirsk, nb)
Wasn't beaten far at Wetherby last time and has had a welcome nudge down the weights from the handicapper. She is best over this distance and has won stronger races than this. She won't be far away for trainer Michael Dods.
STINTINO SUNSET (8.30 Epsom, treble)
She ran close to her best when just denied at Windsor last time and is back from the same handicap mark in what looks a weaker race.
EASY PEELER (5.13 Thirsk, Lucky 15)
She tanked along when winning a decent contest at York last time and a 4lb rise is fair for a filly who looks sure to improve under Jason Hart.

‘He's not a good player… he's a pub player' – Michael van Gerwen rips into darts rival then says ‘I'm not harsh'
Van Gerwen also blasted his own display in the game Take the Mich 'He's not a good player… he's a pub player' – Michael van Gerwen rips into darts rival then says 'I'm not harsh' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MICHAEL VAN GERWEN has brutally labelled a darts rival as "pub player", but insists he is not being harsh. The savage dig came after the three-time darts world champion defeated Pero Ljubic at the Poland Darts Masters on Friday.

However, the 36-year-old - by his own admission - did not have a great game as he averaged 84.71 and landed six out of 19 checkout attempts at 31.6 per cent. Fortunately for the world No3, his rival did not fare any better at the oche. Ljubic, 47, put up an average of 82.69 but had an even worse checkout rate with just four of 13 attempts at 30.8 per cent.

As per Oche, he said: "It wasn't a good game at all. Pero needs to be happy that he won one leg. "Pero is not a good player. Pero is a pub player — we all know that, "I'm not harsh — he is a lovely man but when you throw treble 12 for treble 20 then you need to go back to the dartboard.

Pero won a few legs and it feels like his birthday! Players Championship clash descends into 'pub darts' with even winner looking embarrassed after 'stinking' leg "I was going to win anyway. You want honest answers — I give you honest answers. Tomorrow is a different story — then I am up against the big boys." Previously, a match involving the Pole was compared to "pub darts" after a horror leg where he and Niko Springer took 26 darts to finish a leg at the Players Championship 19 in June. His victory set up a quarter-final against Rob Cross. The first matches of the quarter-finals will take place from 6:10pm tonight.

The incident occurred on Court 18 yesterday as the Italian was defeated in four sets by Jordan Thompson.

Thompson's hat dropped off his head as he served, but he somehow managed to catch it and play the rest of the point with it in his hand. The world No.44 won the point and clinched the opener 6-4. But Darderi was left fuming and went sprinting towards umpire Mohamed Lahyani to argue.

Darderi raged: "It is a rule, you are not allowed to play with the cap like this. You are not." Official Lahyani immediately made a phone call to check but informed the players that no rule was broken. An infuriated Darderi then angrily threw his racquet towards his bag to gasps from fans.

"Now, the umpire could have said, 'replay the point - hindrance'. "You get one opportunity for that, if your hat falls off your head or if your ball falls out your pocket, they will replay it once. "But if it happens a second time it is immediately the point to the opponent. "The other thing that could have happened is Darderi saying, 'hold on', and putting his hand up. "The umpire then would have ordered a replay of the point. "He has the right to argue, but he is going to lose because he did not say anything in the first place. "It is like going back and challenging a call, when the system was in place, you must challenge in that moment." Thompson is through to the fourth round and faces fifth seed Taylor Fritz next. 7 Umpire Mohamed Lahyani chose to not replay the point Credit: BBC

Wimbledon star Cam Norrie looks uncomfortable as he bats away awkward question about Emma Raducanu's love life
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WIMBLEDON star Cameron Norrie awkwardly shut down a question on Emma Raducanu's love life. The British star, 29, beat Mattia Bellucci in straight sets on Friday to progress to the fourth round. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Cam Norrie was quizzed on Emma Raducanu's love life Credit: Wimbledon 4 He awkwardly batted away suggestions he was dating her Credit: Wimbledon 4 Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu are close pals Credit: Getty In his post-match press conference, Norrie was quizzed on Raducanu amid rumours of her growing close to reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz. A journalist asked the world No61: "Some of the gossip has been about who Emma Raducanu is dating. "Can I ask if you are dating her? Can we get to the bottom of this please?" A perplexed Norrie replied: "Sorry?" The reporter then responded: "I am trying to find out who is dating Emma Raducanu. "It seems to be going around all the men's singles... I was wondering if you're dating her, please?" A clearly uncomfortable Norrie then said: "I'm not, no. You can ask her. I don't know." The 2022 Wimbledon semi-finalist is in a relationship with Louise Jacobi. Norrie reportedly met the New York-born textiles designer five years ago. Raducanu, who was defeated by world No1 Aryna Sabalenka last night, has played down her relationship with Alcaraz and claimed they are just good friends. Emma Raducanu giggles as she addresses Carlos Alcaraz relationship ahead of Wimbledon It comes after a source exclusively revealed to SunSport that the pair had a "spark" and arrived at the Queen's tournament last month within minutes of each other amid suggestions of spending cosy days together. On her bond with Alcaraz, Raducanu said: "I've known him for years. "Wimbledon 2021 was the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021. "We have a good relationship still. He's obviously overtaken me a lot, but it's nice that we have that from a while ago. "I think for all of us, we really kind of value those connections that we had from when we were young because when you become a bit more known or a bit more successful, you just find yourself reverting back to people you knew from a young age because you're like, that's a real genuine connection. "Because it becomes very busy and you have a lot more friends but the ones that you've known for a long time mean a lot more to you." 4
