International challenger Danon Decile enjoys gallops spin
He had his first canter up the famous Warren Hill in the company of trainer Shogo Yasuda, who is pleased by how his charge has settled into his new surroundings and also has no concerns about reverting to a mile and a quarter after his Group One strike over further in Dubai.
Yasuda said: 'We did travel very well, so we're very satisfied.

'My training plan between the two weeks from here to York, the main thing is to take care of his mind – make him happy.
'I'm not concerned for the shorter distance. I believe he's got a lot of experience from racing. I'm not worried about the drop in distance. He can adjust pace.'
Danon Decile is a five-time winner who will arrive at the Knavesmire in search of a hat-trick in the £1.25milllion feature of the Ebor Festival's opening day after his Meydan win followed a valuable triumph in his homeland.
The four-year-old is as short as 4-1 with some bookmakers to scoop the prestigious Group One and he will be the second Japanese challenger in as many years to venture to Yorkshire after Durezza finished fifth in a race recognised as officially the best in the world 12 months ago.

Emma Raducanu knocked out of Cincinnati Open by Aryna Sabalenka
Monday's match was the pair's second meeting of the year after Sabalenka edged to victory in their third-round encounter at Wimbledon. Another thrilling outing followed in Cincinnati, where an incredibly tight match lasting over three hours saw Raducanu take the 27-year-old to a third-set tiebreak. In a tense finale, Sabalenka emerged victorious to clinch a 7-6(3) 4-6 7-6(5) win. Raducanu's path to the third round of the competition saw her beat Olga Danilovic in the previous match, her first since Rafael Nadal's former coach Francis Roig joined her team. The British number one made a quick start, earning her first break point in the second game of the opening set, before Sabalenka responded with a break of her own and soon levelled the score. Sabalenka looked to have taken control of the match, breaking Raducanu's serve again on her way to winning four successive games, but Raducanu managed to level at 4-4 and showed her strength to snatch the ninth game following a lengthy deuce. A tight tussle saw Sabalenka able to set up a tiebreak and she withstood some solid resistance from the Briton to clinch the first set in just under an hour. Another close contest followed as both players held their serve in the early stages of the second set, but Raducanu managed to shift the momentum by winning a break point in the seventh game to take the lead. The Briton then served out the set in style with an ace to tie the match. How about that game from Emma and Aryna 😳 — Cincinnati Open (@CincyTennis) August 11, 2025 Little could separate the pair throughout the third set as both players continued to hold their serve and an incredible eighth game saw 13 deuces take place, with Sabalenka unable to convert four break points before Raducanu finally clinched the game. For the second time in the match the set reached a tiebreaker and, with her second match point, Sabalenka squeezed through to the next round. The world number one will meet Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the round of 16 after the Spaniard beat Taylor Townsend earlier on Monday.
