4.10 Lingfield – Class 5 Handicap (5f)
SANDSCREENDELIVERD (NAP) finished 10th of 15 on his handicap debut last month at Windsor but the numbers don't tell the entire story of his seasonal reappearance.
He made some headway while challenging on the outer of the pack, briefly getting in the mix for the places behind the clear-cut winner heading into the closing stages. But he was still green, hanging left (which lots of horses do at Windsor), and he was heavily eased late on by his jockey, losing ground and places.
That was his debut for Peter Crate's stable after four months off and there's little doubt he can do better.
4.02 Nottingham – Class 4 Handicap (1m 2f)
Having won a one-mile Kempton maiden on her final start as a two-year-old, BOWERCHALKE found seven furlongs an inadequate trip on her reappearance at Wetherby just over three weeks ago.
However, she steps up to 1m 2f today and her dam was a useful winner over this trip, so she should still have improvement in her.

Isak risks alienating himself from Newcastle fans
With Alexander Isak remaining determined to join Liverpool, the Sweden international would have a lot of bridges to rebuild if he was to ever represent Newcastle again."You've got a guy who's on £100k-a-week-plus not playing, and you've got the normal fan paying £60 to £70 for a ticket every week expecting him to be in the team," the Magpies' all-time leading scorer Alan Shearer told BBC 5 Live. "That is why it hurts them so much."There is no loyalty [in football] - clubs look after themselves and players look after themselves, but there's a way of doing things. The way that Alex is doing this at the moment is not the right way."Liverpool have got into his agent and to offer £110m is rather belittling when you have midfielders going for £105m. They know they aren't going to get Isak for £110m."You've got a guy who played a huge part in one of Newcastle's best seasons ever, winning the club's first trophy for 70 years, qualifying again for the Champions League. Yet with three years left on his contract he says he doesn't want to play here any more."Newcastle head coach Howe said the away end were "very free" to make their feelings known about the player after the game, but he stressed in the same post-match news conference that the door remains open for Isak to be reiterated that it is down to Isak to "decide what he wants to do" as the striker continues to train away from the ideally wants a swift resolution - and understandably so.

Gary Lineker reacts to Match of the Day revamp after controversial BBC axe as show's debut fails to impress
GARY Lineker showed his staunch support for the BBC as he backed its revamped Match of the Day launch following his controversial axe. The popular presenter encouraged fans to stay loyal to the football highlights programme - despite being replaced by after 26 years. 6 6 6 Gary tuned into the new-look series last night as it aired for the first time since his emotional exit in May - with Mark Chapman in the hot seat to kick off the new season. Sharing a snap of him watching on TV, Gary told his social media followers: "Can't miss Match of the Day." He had earlier suggested he was happy to be a spectator from home as she shared his set up on the sofa. "I could get used to this," Gary wrote. Kelly Cates, 49, and 52-year-old Gabby Logan will share hosting duties with Mark as the impressive trio make up the new presenting team on Saturdays. An insider told The Sun: "It's obviously a dramatic change for Gary to be watching from his sofa at home and not in the thick of it. "But he was keen to show his support to the new hosts, by sharing a picture of him tuning in last night. "A lot of other people who left under his circumstances wouldn't have done that. "In face, some perhaps might even actively discouraged others from watching, but Gary doesn't hold a grudge. "He wanted to take the high road and cheer on the new guard to succeed." Gary Lineker signs huge deal with ITV and will host gameshow dubbed cross between I'm A Celeb and SAS Who Dares Wins Broadcaster Chappers, 52, was last night joined by ex-England strikers Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney as they analysed games including Man City's trip to Wolves and Aston Villa hosting Newcastle. However, the show's debut failed to impress with some viewers. One said: "This is exactly why Gary Lineker was well paid for his services. "He had been there, done it, won it, & worn the T-shirt, and was now doing the same thing when presenting a great show with class and charisma. #MOTD is now dead." 6 6 Another added: "Trying to watch MOTD and I miss Gary. It's just not the same. That man was in my life weekly for decades." However, many appreciated that aside from fresh faces, not much had changed on BBC One's flagship football show. A viewer insisted: "Mark Chapman is a fantastic host." Gabby said before the launch: 'The focus is only on us because Gary's leaving and he's such a huge name. 'We're nowhere near the most important people on the show. 'The most important thing is the football, then it's the pundits and what they think about it. 'What people will notice is that there isn't much change.' 'It helps that we're all really different from Gary, in that he goes in with a profile of his own as an England legend,' Kelly added. 'It's a very different career path. An ex-player taking over would be a more direct comparison.' 6 Gary announced in November 2024 he would be stepping down from presenting Match Of The Day at the end of the season, but would still host World Cup and FA Cup coverage. He exited the broadcaster early after apologising for sharing and then deleting a post on his Instagram account from the group Palestine Lobby. It was illustrated with a picture of a rat, which prompted calls for him to be sacked. A statement from Lineker read:"I care deeply about the game, and about the work I've done with the BBC over many years. "As I've said, I would never consciously repost anything anti-Semitic – it goes against everything I stand for. "However, I recognise the error and upset that I caused, and reiterate how sorry I am. Stepping back now feels like the responsible course of action." After this the BBC said Lineker would leave his presenting role following the conclusion of Match Of The Day for the 2024/25 season. The broadcaster added that he would not present its coverage of the 2026 World Cup or next season's FA Cup. It will see 12 celebs put in boxes and given daring challenges, and is touted as the successor to Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.
