LONGSHOT
KODI LION (3.00 Ascot)
He has an excellent record over this course and distance and has performed in a big field. He can go well again for trainer Mick Appleby.
EACH-WAY THIEF
ROYAL DRESS (2.20 Ascot)
She looked well up to this level when winning a Listed race at Pontefract last time. There's more to come.
HICKORY (3.35 Ascot)
He's a hold-up horse so will need some luck in running but Jamie Spencer can steer him into the first four at a track he likes.

Aberdeen ‘open signing talks with AC Milan as they plot transfer swoop for striker'

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ABERDEEN have opened talks with Euro giants AC Milan for striker Marko Lazetic. The Serie A giants are willing to sell the player, who has a year left on his contract at the San Siro. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Marko Lazetic in training for AC Milan Futuro last week Credit: Getty 3 Lazetic spent last season on loan at Fortuna Sittard in the Netherlands Credit: Getty The Dons were interested in the Serbian under-21 international last season but a deal never came to fruition. Lazetic, 21, has made two appearances for Milan since signing from Red Star Belgrade in 2021 - one in the league and another in the cup. He had progressed through Red Star's academy and played 17 times for the club before joining Milan, scoring once. Lazetic stands at six feet four inches tall and spent the whole of last season on loan at TSC back in his homeland, hitting the net three times in 43 total appearances. He was loaned to Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie the year before and had a loan stint at Rheindorf Altach in the Austrian Bundesliga prior to that. According to Sky Sports, Ialian giants Milan are considering selling the forward to the Dons with a sell-on clause attached. Lazetic has been primarily attached to Milan's development squad and was pictured in training with them last week. Two of his uncles were professional footballers, with Nikola Lazetic picking up 25 caps for Serbia and Montenegro and is now president of the Serbian FC. Zarko Lazetic played over 250 games for clubs in Serbia, Greece and Indonesia before becoming a manager, and he is currently in charge of Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel. Aberdeen lost 3-1 to Ipswich Town in a friendly on Friday night, the club's final pre-season outing before the return of Premiership football. Eric Black on losing love for football & the ex-Celtic star who's the best he's ever seen The Dons kick off their league campaign against Hearts next Monday night in a Tynecastle prime time clash. Aberdeen will also take part in the Europa League and/or Europa Conference League this coming season, depending on how their play-off tie goes. With his team set to compete on four fronts, Thelin hopes to add more players to his squad but is backing his current crop to stand up to the task. He said: 'Of course we're trying to change some parts and add some qualities. 'Again, as I said before, we have this vision for these three years. 'We know what we want to be in three years and now we're in the second season. 'We're still building and trying to get the team in the direction we want it to look like after three years, so nothing has changed in one way. 'It's a small change, how we want to look, how we want to grow and which qualities and capacity we want in the team.' 3 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Game of Thrones star Hafthor Bjornsson beats Eddie Hall's monstrous deadlift world record as rival posts classy response

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HAFTHOR BJORNSSON made weightlifting history by SMASHING former rival Eddie Hall's deadlift record. The 2018 World's Strongest Man winner looked to make history last Sunday with a Herculean 505kg (1111lbs) deadlift.

The Icelandic giant, who is best known for playing 'The Mountain' in the hit HBO show 'Game of Thrones', had previously broken the record in 2020. Bjornsson's 501kg lift, however, was disputed by many, including Hall, as he performed it in his own gym and not in a competition setting. But there was no disputing his mammoth 505kg lift at the 2025 Eisenhart Black Competition, which has gone viral.

Strongman turned boxer and MMA fighter Hall had no sour grapes about losing the world record to his former rival. 4 Eddie Hall held the deadlift world record for nine years before Thor smashed it Credit: YOUTUBE@EDDIEHALL In fact, he was quick to praise Bjornsson for his incredible feat of strength. Posting a video of the lift to his Instagram, Hall wrote: "Massive respect to Thor for making history & setting the official WR at 505kg.

Legendary horse trainer Edward O'Grady dies aged 75 just days after saddling his final runner

'ONE OF THE BEST' 'ONE OF THE BEST' Legendary horse trainer Edward O'Grady dies aged 75 just days after saddling his final runner Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LEGENDARY horse trainer Edward O'Grady has died aged 75 - just days after saddling his final ever runner. The King of Cheltenham before Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott came on the scene, O'Grady is remembered as one of Ireland's greatest ever handlers. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Famed horse trainer Edward O'Grady, who made Cheltenham Festival his second home with a whole load of winners, has sadly died aged 75 Credit: Times Newspapers Ltd 3 O'Grady, right, stands with a much younger Willie Mullins, who he helped pave the way for Cheltenham Festival domination Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd 3 Iconic James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan got one of his big acting breaks playing Edward O'Grady And he is also partly responsible for the rise of James Bond hero Pierce Brosnan - with one of the iconic actor's first big roles being to play O'Grady in the film 'Murphy's Stroke'. O'Grady himself hit the big time when he teamed up with iconic owner JP McManus to land a huge punt at the Festival in 1982. O'Grady trained the first of more than 80 McManus Cheltenham winners in the shape of Mister Donavan. A fearsome punter, McManus said he won more than £250,000 backing his horse over and over for what is now the Turners Novices' Hurdle. In today's money the victory would be worth more than £1.1million. O'Grady masterminded 18 Cheltenham Festival winners from his Tipperary base in all, his victories coming in the days when British trainers still dominated. His most famous horses included the likes of Golden Cygnet, who many said was the greatest hurdler of all time despite his only season over obstacles ending in tragedy. Dubbed 'the horse of the century', he won the 1978 Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham before suffering a fatal fall in the Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr. Gay Future, Native Upmanship, Ned Kelly, Back In Front and Tranquil Sea were other big O'Grady horses. O'Grady, who also enjoyed success as a Flat trainer having been forced to switch when farming troubles hit Ireand, was saddling horses right up until his death. His final ever runner was Sovereign Banter who ran at Cork last Friday night - mere weeks after his last winner, Our Soldier, earlier this month. Trainer Fergal O'Brien was among the first to pay tribute to a trailblazer in the sport, writing on X: "One of the very best. Sad news." This is the second death to hit racing in as many weeks, after a Grand National legend and 'amazing woman' passed away at home. Despite his success on the track, tragedy was never too far away from O'Grady's personal life. His first wife Judy passed away in 2010, seven years before second wife Maria was killed in a fall. O'Grady later remarried and leaves behind wife Kay and children Jonathan, Amber, Lucy, Mimi and Rosie Mae. More to follow.
