Racing selections and nap from Newsboy for Newcastle and 4 other Sunday meetings
Newsboy's Nap selection for Sunday, May 11, is the James Ferguson-trained Gunship (4.00) at Newcastle. His next best runs in the following race at the Gosforth Park track, Steel Tiger (4.35)
GUNSHIP (4.00, nap) is fancied to fire a broadside and take his record at Newcastle to 2-2 with a win in the Michael John Hrycko Handicap at Gosforth Park on Sunday.
James Ferguson's son of Sea The Stars, who made a winning debut at the track in December 2024, came home well from the back to take third to Sing Us A Song at Sandown Park on his handicap debut last time out in April and still has more to offer.
Also at Newcastle, STEEL TIGER (4.35, nb) is taken to roar home in the Celebrating The Life Of Lee Murphy Handicap.
The Simon and Ed Crisford-trained four year old is a course and distance winner.
And the son of Almanzar improved again when winning a 14-runner handicap at Chelmsford City 23 days ago.

Fears for boyband star as pop icons reveal he'll miss 25th anniversary celebrations – a year after he was last seen
THERE are fears for a boyband star, as the pop icon revealed he'll miss the group's 25th anniversary celebrations, a year after he was last seen. The iconic Irish band kicked off their first ever world tour, Where Dreams Come True Tour, at the Newcastle Arena on February 9, 2001. 5 5 And to mark the special milestone, the lads have launched their 25th anniversary celebrations. But Mark Feehily will be "unable to join the celebrations,' meaning it'll be the other members of the group, Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan, to celebrate without him. It's been a year since Mark's last interaction with fans, where he posted a video saying 'Happy pride month everybody.' In February 28, 2024, Mark announced he had to pull out of ALL shows to "fully recover" after undergoing surgery. The star said the "physical demands" of the concerts and extensive travel proved "too much" for him and so he would "temporarily stand down from all Westlife touring". The dad-of-one opened up on his secret surgery hell, telling fans how he's gone under the knife for the fourth time since 2020 after medics found a "very large incisional hernia". During those four years, the Sligo singer battled pneumonia as well as sepsis - a crippling infection that can be fatal. Fellow Westlife band members Nicky, Shane and Kian broke their silence at the time to reveal they "completely respect" dad -of-one Mark's decision. Since it's been announced that Mark won't be on tour with Westlife, the band continued to write: "We hope he can join us back on stage when he is ready and able. He sends his love and positivity to you all as always. Westlife star Brian McFadden shares 'adorable' clip of daughter playing the drums "The four of us can't quite believe it's been 25 years. We could only have dreamt of the continued love and loyalty you have consistently with shown us around the world. "We are so lucky to have all of you with us and we can't wait to celebrate together." In the comments fans were devastated, one person wrote: 'Love you guys... BUT, westlife isn't westlife without Mark. 3 just don't cut it.' A second said: 'I don't know whether to cry with happiness that you're finally coming back for your 25th year anniv or sob at the fact that mark won't be joining you to celebrate it 😭🥺 I'm so overwhelmed…' A third penned: 'Sending a huge love to @markusmoments we really hope that he is ok! We love you Mark! And amazing news boys! We can't wait for all these new things come on our way! Much love!' Someone else echoed: 'What happened to Mark? I remember reading that he was going to have surgery, but that was about two years ago. I'll be hoping and praying for his recovery!' 5 5

He said the team worked with local teenagers to find out "exactly what they wanted" from the project, now in its fourth year, 260 youngsters took part across the holiday season."We're not the police, we're not the local schools, we're not the councils," Mr Tulip said."We're a youth service team and we build a trust with the young people." A live DJ is set up in the parks, along with sports and arts and Tulip said youth services had taken a "massive hit" over the past 15 years, and many facilities had said one teenager had said the project had "given him a reason to come out of his bedroom" during the summer holidays."A lot of those young people that feel quite isolated actually feel part of something," Mr Tulip moving up to secondary school were able to make connections, Mr Tulip said."It's about young people being themselves, having a safe space so they can express themselves," he said."Not feeling like there's constantly a grown adult hovering over their shoulder."

Gogglebox star looks completely unrecognisable in rare snap as she reunites with her famous sister - almost a decade after appearing together on the Channel 4 show
Former Gogglebox star Ava-Grace Moffatt looked unrecognisable as she reunited with famous sister Scarlett on Thursday. The reality star, 18, who rose to fame as a youngster and is now in University, cut a trendy figure in the rare snap with her sibling, 34, almost a decade after they appeared together on the Channel 4 show. Ava cut a trendy figure in a Guns N' Roses T-shirt which she teamed with a hoodie and headscarf while posing with Scartlett at a train station. The former I'm A Celeb star beamed while shelling her eyes behind huge shades and captioned the snap: 'Sister Day'. The Moffatt family joined Gogglebox in 2014 during the third series, with Scarlett quickly becoming a fan favourite for her outspoken personality. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Initially appearing with just her parents, Mark and Betty, Scarlett was later joined by Ava from series seven, before they all exited in 2016. Following the family's stint on Gogglebox Ava and the family joined Scarlett in Australia when she hosted the I'm A Celeb spin-off after winning the main show in 2016. In 2019 the family also appeared in The Tribe Next Door Channel Four documentary that saw them live alongside the Himba community in a Namibian tribal village, in an exact replica of their parents Newcastle home. But the experiment hit the headlines and branded 'twisted' and 'harmful' by activist charity, while angry fans said the show 'screams privilege'. It comes just days after it was revealed Scarlett was reportledy in talks to join the All Stars version of I'm A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here! She was crowned Queen of the Jungle back in 2016, so her appearance on All Stars would mark her tenth anniversary of winning the show. Filming is set to start in South Africa later this year with a source telling The Sun: 'Scarlett won I'm A Celeb in 2016 and was hugely popular with viewers, so everyone's really excited she might be returning for the new All Stars series. 'She is so game for a laugh and knows what to expect in terms of the Bushtucker Trials, so she'll throw herself into every task. 'Scarlett is a mum now and she wants to do it to show her little boy how brave she can be.' MailOnline have contacted Scarlett's representatives and ITV for comment. It was revealed in February that Ant and Dec would be returning to host another All Stars series. A source close to the production revealed: 'It did well last time and while they can't do it annually, they wanted to do another.' The first series featured a star-studded lineup of former contestants, including boxing champion Amir Khan, Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan, TV presenter Carol Vorderman and Olympic athlete Fatima Whitbread. Series six runner-up Myleene Klass was crowned the winner after defeating series 16 campmate Jordan Banjo in the final survival trial. A spin-off of the original I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, the special is filmed in Kruger National Park, South Africa, where celebrities take on various challenges in a basic, luxury-free camp. Unlike the original format, however, the all-star series does not allow viewers to vote for contestants to face Bushtucker Trials. Instead, the campmates battle it out for the title of 'Legend,' departing from the traditional crowning of a Jungle King or Queen. The I'm A Celebrity… South Africa special garnered strong viewership, with an average of 5.5 million viewers tuning in per episode.
