Horse racing tips: ‘A win would secure his place at Royal Ascot' – Templegate's 6-1 NAP for the Osbornes
Scroll down for his selections TEMPLEGATE'S TIPS Horse racing tips: 'A win would secure his place at Royal Ascot' – Templegate's 6-1 NAP for the Osbornes Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TEMPLEGATE takes on Thursday's action looking for winners. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up HICKORY (4.25 Newbury, nap) Jamie Osborne's flyer was a game winner of Ascot's Victoria Cup before getting a bump at the start at Sandown last time. That meant he was way out the back before flying home to hit the frame. He could do with another win to secure his place in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot and has every chance. HARRYELLA (8.00 Chelmsford, nb) Was an impressive winner on his last visit to this Essex track and didn't get a clear run when second at Wolverhampton last time. He's got more to offer and this longer trip will suit in-form James Fanshawe's hopeful. DEEP WATER BAY (4.33 Nottingham, treble) Was a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver when winning on handicap debut when stepping up in trip. He has an extra quarter-mile in front of him today which should see him take another big leap forward.

Premier League lift little-known broadcasting blackout in major boost for football fans
3pm blackout is set to remain in place GAME ON Premier League lift little-known broadcasting blackout in major boost for football fans Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PREMIER LEAGUE chiefs have axed a little-known broadcasting rule ahead of next season. There have been restrictions in place to stop youth-team matches being shown at the same time as senior top-flight games. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The Premier League have scrapped a broadcast rule ahead of next season Credit: Getty But that blackout has reportedly been lifted for the 2025/26 campaign. Under-21 games in the Premier League 2 can now be live streamed even if they clash with fixtures on Sky Sports or TNT Sports. Official club channels are ready to "take the lead" in showing the action. But there are rumours of a TV deal in the coming years should viewing figures be significant. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL GET IT DON Sancho at centre of three-way Prem transfer war as Chelsea line up Man U pal The rule change is a major boost for football fans up and down the country - especially Manchester United supporters. Viewers have long complained about MUTV not showing enough youth-team fixtures live. Just 14 of 35 Under-21 games were shown last season and just eight of those were Premier League 2 clashes. Manchester Evening News report that the in-house channel was impacted by Sir Jim Ratcliffe's brutal job cuts. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS Premier League fans are set to deal with another year of the 3pm blackout, which prevents games being broadcast live at that time to protect attendances Though reports suggest the measure could be axed when the current TV deal expires at the end of the 2028/29 season.

Jake Paul leaks ‘s***-talking' private messages with Anthony Joshua goading him about being KO'd as trash talk ramps up
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JAKE PAUL revealed he is goading Anthony Joshua about being knocked out - as their "s*** talking" ramps up behind the scenes. Paul audaciously called out the two-time heavyweight champion on his podcast earlier this year - vowing to knock Joshua out. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua having been goading each other via DMs 6 AJ also shared his phone call with Jake Paul earlier in the year 6 Jake Paul insists they're still friends despite the trash-talk 6 Daniel Dubois KO'd Joshua in September Credit: Getty It did not take long for AJ to quite literally call the prankster-turned-prizefighter's bluff by phoning him up - but Paul countered by suggesting a 2026 fight date. And Paul has now revealed the two are already goading each other privately over social media - as all's fair in love and war. He said: "It was all nice, we've been cordial. He DMd me today like saying "LOL" to one of my training clips and then I sent him a "LOL" of of him getting knocked out. "And so I guess like we're kind of s*** talking, behind the scenes a bit. But I have a lot of love for Anthony Joshua. READ MORE IN BOXING PAUL ON OFFER Jake Paul urges UFC to make 'winner-takes-all' Jones vs Ngannou fight "I think this type of stuff is funny and he's a great guy and I think just a fight between us would be awesome and I do believe I can win." Joshua, 35, is yet to fight since being KO'd by Daniel Dubois, 27, at Wembley in September having undergone elbow surgery in May. Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed AJ hopes to return before the year is over - meanwhile Paul faces ex-middleweight world champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on June 28. It comes after he stepped up to heavyweight in November to face Mike Tyson - who controversially made a comeback aged 58. 6 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Still over 100 MILLION tuned in to watch Paul's eight-round points win on Netflix - but it came at the cost of piling on TWO STONE. And Paul - who gorged on pasta, steaks and potatoes to bulk up - admitted the heavyweight jump was "brutal". Jake Paul reveals 'hefty' six-man hit-list of opponents for next fight including Anthony Joshua and world champ The 28-year-old added: "It was just too much and my body wasn't made for it and even when I got into the ring I just felt too fat. "So cruiserweight is definitely the perfect weight for me." Paul will come down from 16st 2lb to the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb to face Chavez in California. It followed after Canelo Alvarez, 34, pulled out of a shock deal to fight Paul in Las Vegas on May 3 - instead signing with Saudi Arabia's Turki Alalshikh. Canelo - who beat Chavez on points in 2017 - regained his undisputed super-middleweight titles with victory over William Scull in May. And now he defends the 168lb thrown in a September 13 super-fight against unbeaten American Terence Crawford, 37, as Paul was forced to look elsewhere. But he said: "Chavez and I have been going back and forth for a long time and he's always been a great opponent on the list of someone that I wanted to fight. "And now it made perfect sense to go up against him as a former world champion and just continuing to further my resume and get more time under the lights." Paul also revealed he is in talks to fight current cruiserweight champions Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez, 33, and Badou Jack, 41. And with Gervonta Davis, 30, also lined up for an exhibition bout - Paul says he is boxing's most desired man. He joked: I'm like like Megan Fox from Transformers movie like everyone wants me! So there's not enough time to do it all and it could make sense. Look, it might. "It might line up but at the end of the day, there's 100 people that want to fight me. I got Canelo, Gervonta, Anthony Joshua, Badou, Zurdo, Tommy Fury, KSI, the list keeps on going. "It's just about what makes sense and we'll see when the negotiations come but I would for sure entertain a fight with him." 6 Jake Paul faces Julio Cesar Chavez Jr next Credit: Reuters
