HIERARCHY (3.45 Ffos Las, nap)
The Osbornes got this game six-year-old back to winning ways with a battling success at Southwell last time out. He sat nicely behind the pace before coming home with a late rattle to nick the prize. He's back carrying a 5lb penalty which gives him every chance of following up under Saffie.
LANGHOLM (3.00 Catterick, nb)
Goes well here and dropping to this classified level can earn him another win. He was beaten less than three lengths in a fair handicap last time and a professional jockey takes over today.
ART PATRON (4.15 Ffos Las, treble)
Has been knocking on the door over this trip. Andrew Balding's hopeful has had a nudge down the weights and looks ready to land an overdue victory on ground that suits.

Scroll down to see how the prize money has changed since last year CANU DO IT Emma Raducanu to bank record sum if she regains US Open title as 'largest purse in tennis history' confirmed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EMMA RADUCANU would bank a record $5million (£3.7m) if she regained the US Open women's crown next month. Four years on from that fairytale success in New York, the 22-year-old heads to Flushing Meadows with a new coach, Rafa Nadal's former guru Francisco Roig. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Emma Raducanu could win a major windfall at the US Open Credit: Getty Raducanu's title success in 2021 earned her $2.4m (£1.8m) so the top fee has doubled since then. On Wednesday, US Open chiefs announced a bumper new prize fund for the men's and women's singles champions to combat ongoing player complaints about pay. The tournament's overall pot has been described as the 'largest purse in tennis history'. It has gone up in 12 months from $75m (£56m) to $90m (£67m) in total player compensation. The 2024 champions, Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner, received $3.6m (£2.7m) for their triumphs. First-round main-draw losers will be compensated with $110,000 (£82,000) in cash. The winning teams from the men's and women's doubles events – and from the new Mixed Doubles Championship – will split $1m (£750,000) in prize money. Meanwhile, Raducanu has hired her eighth coach of her career to boost her chances in the US.

BBC bring back iconic line-up of presenters and commentators from past for unique throwback edition of Sportscene
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE BBC are bringing back sports broadcast icons such as Archie MacPherson and Dougie Donnelly for a special one-off episode of Sportscene. It's the show's 50th anniversary and the corporation is to mark it with a special one-off throwback edition featuring famous presenters and commentators from down the decades. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The Sportscene line-up 4 Archie MacPherson in the Sportscene studio 4 Scottish Sportscene logo Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk Dougie Donnelly will be back in the Sportscene presenter's chair on Saturday 9 August while Archie Macpherson, Rob Maclean and Jock Brown will be on commentary duties around the grounds. Veteran commentator and presenter Archie Macpherson - who appeared on the inaugural Sportscene in 1975 - will be providing commentary at the v Motherwell match that day, while Jock Brown, who was a commentator on the show in the 1990s, will be behind the microphone for the Livingston v Falkirk match. Rob Maclean, who has had two spells with the programme as commentator and presenter covering a total of more than 25 years, will be commentating on the Rangers v Dundee game. Dougie, who spent 32 years on the show, will be joined in the studio by current presenter Steven Thompson who'll be providing analysis of the day's action along with Gordon Smith, another well-known face from the programme's past. The programme will also feature archive footage stretching back to the black and white television era. Donelly said: 'It was a great time for Scottish football and the Saturday night sports programme was absolutely required viewing. "I did 33 consecutive Scottish Cup Finals – what a privilege to have been in the hot seat for so many of the big occasions, including all the World Cups and everything else. "I was hugely lucky and very much appreciate that. "I'm looking forward to going back on the show. Fortunately, I'm still working in broadcasting, so it's not going to be as intimidating as it might have been. "It's live TV, what I've done my whole career, and it'll be fantastic to go back again and talk about Scottish football. Amy Irons and BBC pundits plunged into half darkness at half time during Scotland Under-21 clash "I look forward to seeing the reaction from the Scottish footballing public." Rob Maclean had his first spell as presenter and commentator from 1990 to 2004, returned in 2009 and still works for Sportscene as a freelance. He said: "It's an iconic football show that has long been part of the vocabulary of our national game. "It's something I would have never contemplated as a youngster being involved in, having watched it. I feel privileged and honoured to be part of the Sportscene story. "It's difficult to pick out a highlight because there have been so many, but one of the most memorable moments was being the tv commentator for Scotland against Brazil on the opening day of the 1998 World Cup in France. "It was a 'pinch me' moment to be part of that occasion – while trying not to think about how massive the audience was. "And of course, for a spell Scotland were level with Brazil – we dreamed at that point that we might beat the World Champions." Jock Brown, who was with Sportscene for seven years from 1990, said: "I was absolutely delighted to have been on the show. I go back a long time – having started on BBC Radio Scotland in 1977 – and I was in and around the Sportscene studio back then. I knew that was the place to be. "During my time on Sportscene I did live commentary for the Cup Finals, internationals, and European club matches. "Sadly, I didn't do a World Cup tournament for the Beeb because we didn't qualify in 1994. 4 A BBC Sport microphone Credit: Alamy "The big stand out game for me was the first Cup Final, because it was probably one of the best Cup Finals there had ever been. Motherwell 4 Dundee United 3 after extra time and the teams were managed by the McLean brothers – both of whom I knew very well! The game was an absolute cracker. 'I've done a lot of broadcasting since leaving Sportscene and I'm really looking forward to going back on the show. It'll be good fun. It's an iconic programme that has a big place in the story of sports broadcasting in Scotland." Prior to his 15 years with Sportscene, Archie Macpherson had spent 13 years on another BBC Scotland show which had paved the way – Sportsreel. He said: "I started in 1962 with Sportsreel – on Black Saturday, the weekend of the Cuban missile crisis. My first report was Hamilton against Stenhousemuir at a time when the world was worried about nuclear warfare. "Programmes rely on the events they cover – and I was lucky enough to cover a succession of World Cups for Sportscene. They gave the programme a great status in the public eye. "The World Cup provided one of my career highlights – Archie Gemmill's goal in Mendoza. It was a stand–out for me, and of course it went on to be featured in Trainspotting – although I had to record another commentary for the film because the sound quality of the original wasn't strong enough." 'I'm very grateful for this opportunity to go back on the show. It's quite a gesture after all this time away from commentating on Sportscene.'
