Rosallion poised for Lockinge return at Newbury

He was then a late withdrawal from the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood, before a problem kept him off the track for the rest of the season and he will be having his first run for 333 days.
Rosallion is conceding a fitness advantage to Roger Teal's Dancing Gemini, already an impressive winner at Doncaster and Sandown this season having reverted to a mile after running in the Derby and Eclipse last year.
Another making his reappearance is Charlie Appleby's Notable Speech, who got the better of Rosallion in the Guineas and took advantage of his absence at Goodwood.
Tamfana finished behind Dancing Gemini at Sandown but could try her luck again for David Menuisier, while Karl Burke's Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Fallen Angel is also in contention in what looks a field stacked with class.
Dylan Cunha's Prague, Checkandchallenge, Lead Artist, Persica and Storm Star complete the list of 10 possibles.

Curtis Pritchard shares marriage plans after split from Ekin-Su Culculoglu

Love Island: All Stars contestant Curtis Pritchard has given an update on his outlook for the future following her abrupt split from his co-star Ekin-Su Culculoglu Curtis Pritchard has revealed all about his romantic status after his shock split from fellow Love Island star Ekin-Su Culculoglu. Reality TV fans watched Curtis, 29, and Ekin-Su, 30, fall for each other earlier this year as they starred on Love Island: All Stars together. After falling for each other in the villa, the couple made it all the way to the final but ended in third place behind runners up Grace Jackson and Luca Bish and winners Casey O'Gorman and Gabby Allen. After leaving the villa in the middle of February and returning to the UK, Curtis and Ekin-Su seemed to be heading for a happy romance. ‌ But the love did not last - and the couple revealed they had decided to call it a day just three months after they were crowned third in the second season of Love Island: All Stars. Now Curtis has shone light on his romantic status - and his hopes for the future. ‌ The reality star, who is a professional on the Irish version of Dancing with the Stars and has been retraining as a boxer since February this year, has revealed he is focusing on his sport for now. He told the Daily Mail:"I mean, as of now, I am single." And when asked if he would be interested in a serious romance, he replied: "You know what I've just come out of, just come off doing Love Island, so I haven't even thought about it. " Boxing is my my thought process at the moment. I am not going to lie, I want kids and I do want to get married. So yeah, I am looking for that if anyone's out there." Ekin-Su announced she had split from Curtis via a blunt social media post that she released at the end of May. She wrote: "I wanted to share that Curtis and I have decided to go our separate ways. "It's been a really tough decision, but one made with a lot of love and respect for one another. He's an incredible person and I'll always cherish the memories we made both in an out of the villa." ‌ She continued: "Thank you all so much for the love and support over the past few months. We're both focusing on navigating this transition and would really appreciate privacy during this time. Love always, EkinSu." Curtis later confirmed the news with a short statement of his own. He wrote at the time: "Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all the kind messages, it really does mean the world. It's true, Ekin and I have decided to go our separate ways. Breakups are never easy, but i'll always be grateful for the laughs, the adventures, and the memories (especially the dance routines)." And he concluded: "I'll be keeping busy with work, boxing, dancing, and working with the team on FINT. Lots of love, Curtis." During his first stint on Love Island back in season five in 2019, Curtis fell into a romance with Irish beauty Maura Higgins - however the relationship collapsed a few months after they left the villa. While Ekin-Su found love with Davide Sanclimenti during season eight of the show in 2022 and the pair even won the show. But the split months later amid rumours of unfaithfulness.

Darts star slams heat on World Cup stage in Frankfurt as he fires drop warning over sweltering oche

Irish ace William O'Connor reckons it's a furnace for players and admitted 'the quicker we get off that stage, the better'. Heated William O'Connor has fried the roasting conditions in Frankfurt and insists someone is going to drop over if it doesn't cool down. The Irish star and partner Keane Barry surged into the last eight at the Darts World Cup with a thumping win over Switzerland. However, although delighted to get the success and progress into the quarter-finals, O'Connor was getting hot under the collar at the temperatures inside the German arena. ‌ He said: 'It's so hot up on that stage, it's hard to play our best darts. It's really, really hard. It's terrible. ‌ "They are going to have to change the venue or maybe put on a bit of air conditioning or something, but someone's going to drop up on that stage. "I'm not exactly the biggest man in the world, but it's hot up on that stage and it's not good. "The quicker we get off that stage, the better. That's it.' Barry was the stronger of the duo in the win over Swiss and he agreed with O'Connor as he said: 'On stage, it's seriously hot. Darts slipped out of my hand, I thought the dart was just so sticky. "It's the same for everyone too. You can't be really complaining about it. It's the same for both players. It's another factor to try and get around.' O'Connor believes there are more gears to go in his team on Sunday as he said: 'We've got a lot more levels, and how many we need will be down to the day. ‌ "We needed extra levels in that game and Keane showed some extra levels, but I didn't. "You need a little bit of luck and you need to perform as well. You don't know until it happens.' ‌ Barry is thrilled to still have the chance to win the trophy having gone the furthest he has done so far and said: 'It's always an honour to put on your country shirt. "I wouldn't say we played our best day. We did enough, you just have to play what's in front of you. "We'll see what happens tomorrow. We're up there and we'll try our best. That's all you can do, really. We're just going to have to do it.' ‌ Barry has been using new equipment recently as he added: 'I wanted to try something different. I was thinking about it for a little while, trying to discover it in practice. "I didn't really have enough time to get it right for a pro tour start, just didn't feel it was the right time to change. "So I went back to what I'm used to and I just got new barrels made, a bit more grippy on the front and that. "Not much changes, a bit of new grip on the front. I'd say they're working alright, but a lot of improvement to come.'
