Lady Iman leads 17-strong Nunthorpe field
She is joined in a mouthwatering feature on day three of the Ebor Festival by a stellar cast of sprinting talent, with fellow Irish raiders including Adrian Murray's Sapphire Stakes scorer Arizona Blaze and Jack Davison's ultra-consistent stable star She's Quality.

Australian ace Asfoora will continue her European odyssey and attempt to better last year's fourth in this race for trainer Henry Dwyer, while Washington Heights was sixth 12 months ago and is one of two in the race for Kevin Ryan alongside Ain't Nobody.
Ed Walker is another handler with two in the mix as he saddles both Mgheera and last year's Lowther Stakes winner Celandine, with John and Sean Quinn putting their faith in King George Stakes winner Jm Jungle to continue his progress through the ranks at a track he knows well.
Fellow course winner Sayidah Dariyan returns to the Knavesmire looking to give Richard Hughes a first win as a trainer in a race he twice conquered as a jockey, while other notable names include Michael Bell's two-year-old Spicy Marg and Jonathan Portman's Rumstar, who like Lady Iman have been supplemented into the contest.
In the supporting Weatherbys Lonsdale Cup Stakes, John and Thady Gosden's emphatic Gold Cup winner Trawlerman is the standout name in a field of six that also includes stablemate and standing dish of the staying division Sweet William.
Karl Burke's Al Qareem brings strong course form to the table, while Tom Clover's Al Nayyir was beaten a short head in this last year and returns to correct the record after a similar narrow defeat at Sandown last time.
A field of eight will line-up for the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes where Walker's Do Or Do Not has the chance for a first victory at Group level.

Emmerdale favourite 'dead' in twist as John strikes again in early ITVX release
The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX. Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) got into John Sugden's (Oliver Farnworth) van at the end of last night's episode of Emmerdale, ready to be take to the train station ahead of a trip to London. As John started the engine, Mack remained unaware that he would no longer be going to the big city. This was because of a major discovery Mackenzie made yesterday. He was snooping through some of John's belongings in the vehicle and came across a scrapbook. On one page was a photo of John and a man called Ben. The new face appeared in the shop earlier that day, and was recognised by Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh) as the person who picked up Nate Robinson's belongings a couple of months ago. If Mack wasn't in the shop during this period, the next few hours would've played out entirely differently. Ben Flint told DC Cole that Owen Michaels (Simon Haines) organised the removal, therefore adding weight to the theory that he definitely murdered Nate. This of course isn't true at all. When Mack saw the photo of John and Ben, the penny dropped pretty suddenly. The text below the picture said 'Brothers in Arms'. The development allowed Mack to work out that 1) John might not be a Sugden and 2), he paid Ben to lie to the police. The drive out of the village was beyond tense. Mack's brain was going ten to the dozen as he tried to work out whether he was in danger. And he absolutely was. After John pulled over at the side of the road, he asked for Mackenzie's help to sort a problem in the back of the van. With fear running through his veins, Mack feigned ignorance for a little while, claiming he was being quiet because he just had a headache. But by this point, John was already five steps ahead of Mack. He confirmed that he knew Mack had looked at the scrapbook and as a result, a bit of a problem had been created. As far as Mack was concerned, he was perfectly happy to just go to London and ignore everything he had learnt about John but in a haunting twist, John told Mack he wouldn't be going to London anymore. With no time to process the twist about Nate, Mack shoved John and tried to buy himself some time. They fought and Mack raced into the woods, kickstarting a very deadly game of cat and mouse. As Mack ran, John followed behind him with a bow and arrow in hand. He tried to get John to stop but outrunning him, literally and metaphorically, wasn't ever going to be possible. Mack managed to call Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) at one point, but he dropped the phone when John appeared. Unaware of what was going on, Charity took a stab in the dark (sorry) and hoped Mack was listening when she said that she wanted him to come home. John pulled another arrow and it went right through Mack's chest, sending him flying. He was still alive but the prey was wounded, he could no longer run. John told Mack that he never wanted things to go this far, but he does what he has to do to survive. John felt like he had to do something because if he let Mack go, he wouldn't hesitate in telling Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) everything. With that, John found a giant boulder, lifted it above his head and threw it down, seemingly killing Mack in that moment. Back in the village, John and Aaron's farewell party was wrapping up. John returned and joined Aaron in saying goodbye to the likes of Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) and Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins). He then glanced over to his van and noticed blood dripping down the door. He quickly covered, telling Aaron that he needs to get fuel before they leave. Is Mack definitely dead?

John Bartley dead: Award-winning Hollywood cameraman who worked on The X Files dies
Emmy Award-winning cameraman John Bartley has died aged 78, his close friend has revealed. The New Zealand-born cinematographer, who worked on The X-Files, died on Sunday in Los Angeles. His friend, Polly Pierce, confirmed the tragic news on social media. "It's with such a heavy heart to write that my long-time mentor and dear friend, the cinematographer John S Bartley ASC CSC, has passed on," the Australian filmmaker said. "If it wasn't for John and his landmark work on @thexfilestv I wouldn't be in film." John worked on the first three series of The X-Files and received three ASC Award nominations and two Primetime Emmy nominations for his work on the popular series, winning the Emmy in 1996 for the episode 'Grotesque'. He received more Emmy nominations for episodes of Lost and Bates Motel. The cinematographer was born in Wellington, New Zealand, to a career Army officer and a theatre cashier. His father died suddenly, aged 53, when John was only 12. After his death, John and his brother would join their mum at work, sitting at the ticket booth until she finished her shift. They were sometimes allowed to watch the shows on stage, with musicals being their favourite. When broadcast television arrived in his city in 1960, only one channel was provided to the people. "It was movies that fascinated me. Cinerama was big at the time, and we took school trips to the theatre," John previously said. After finishing high school, John apprenticed with an electrician and soon moved to Sydney, where he found work as a lighting director in theatre and television. John said in 2011: "I was really lucky. I didn't know anything about television, but two lighting technicians at the station taught me what I needed to know. Television was black-and-white in those days, and I learned how to use light to accentuate black-and-white tones … to help tell stories on television screens.' When he moved to Canada two years later, he found a job at rental house William F. White International, Inc., and soon got to know filmmakers. John went on to work on the likes of The X Files: I Want to Believe, Odd Girl Out, Another Life, The Chronicles of Riddick, Wrong Turn, Echo, Another Stakeout, Disturbing Behaviour and more. For television, he's credited as working on The Good Doctors, Vikings, Los, Roswell, Wu Assassins, 21 Jump Street, and Booker.

Waxing lyrically on the way past the local Irish boozer
Reader Kelly Brown was once strolling with a work colleague during her lunch break, and the two ladies happened to pass the popular Glasgow watering hole, Waxy O' Connor's. Glancing up at the sign, Kelly's colleague said: 'That reminds me. I need to do my legs before I go on holiday.' Computer says…O Creative Diary correspondent John Morrison has updated an old nursery rhyme, and he's generously chosen to share the results of his labours with our readers… 'Old MacDonald had a computer, AI, AI, O.' Job jibber-jabber The other evening Darren Boyle was drinking with a pal in a Glasgow boozer. Discussing their adult children, the pal said: 'Fingers crossed my son gets that job with that big accountancy firm in London, now he's graduated from Uni.' 'Yes,' nodded Darren. 'That would be great. He'll get invaluable experience and training with such a big outfit. And hopefully that'll be the first step towards a very rewarding career.' 'That's not why I want him to get the job,' replied Darren's pal. 'He owes me five hundred quid from his summer holidays, and this'll mean he'll have the dosh to start paying me back.' Jumbo junked As our readers will no doubt be aware, there is a popular aphorism about 'ignoring the elephant in the room', which means to avoid discussing something that is painfully obvious to everyone. Diary correspondent John Munro is not satisfied with this expression, however, and demands a reboot. 'The point of the phrase is that it would be impossible to ignore an elephant, no matter how hard you may want to,' says John. 'But elephants are notoriously shy creatures, plus they are coloured a very bland grey. 'Which means it's actually rather easy to avoid noticing an elephant. 'In fact, I bet elephants would be great at playing hide-and-seek.' Concludes John: 'Clearly the 'elephant in the room' phrase should be replaced with something that has a more literal truth. 'May I suggest… 'ignoring the giraffe in the room'.' Not child's play Retired GP Patricia Taylor recalls chatting with an elderly and world-weary patient. 'I raised twelve kids,' sighed this bloke. 'It's been a hard life.' 'Twelve kids?' replied Patricia 'I'd say your wife had the harder time of it.' Crazy cuts Literature loving Matthew Phillips tells us: 'My local book shop are doing a deal where you get a third off selected titles. I've just bought The Two Musketeers.'
