Estrange camp hoping for rain ahead of Yorkshire Oaks
Minnie Hauk appears O'Brien's chief hope after completing the English-Irish Oaks double at Epsom and the Curragh. Whirl, a neck behind her stablemate at Epsom and a dual Group One winner since, is also in the potential line-up alongside Garden Of Eden and Bedtime Story.

Her only defeat to date came on good to firm ground at Yarmouth last season and connections are hoping at least some rain falls over York as they look to chart a path to the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at ParisLongchamp in October. 'It depends which forecast you look at, and I am probably guilty of looking at the one I want to look at rather than the one I don't!' said Cheveley Park's managing director Chris Richardson on the chance of rain at York. 🔴🔵⚪️ Estrange beats Scenic & captures the @bet365 Lancashire Oaks in a thrilling tussle 👇🏻 — Haydock Park Races (@haydockraces) July 5, 2025 'But she's very well, a bit of ease in the ground would be helpful. She's working well but this just happens to be a year of fast ground. 'We're working back from the autumn so we will see how we go and how we plan from here on out. 'If she can't run then there are some entries abroad we can look at, she's in the Fillies & Mares (on Champions Day at Ascot) and obviously the Arc later in the year.' Royal Fixation goes to post before the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket (Joe Giddens/PA) Day two of the Ebor Festival kicks off with the Sky Bet Lowther Stakes, a Group Two event over six furlongs, for which 12 juvenile fillies have stood their ground. Walker's Royal Fixation, second by a neck to Venetian Sun in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes, heads the market, while Ryan Moore is booked to ride Richard Hughes' 12-length Haydock winner America Queen. George Scott's Princess Margaret runner-up Staya is in the mix, as are Tim Easterby's ultra-consistent Argentine Tango and Brian Ellison's Wor Faayth.

Musician 'emotional' after arriving at Glastonbury following 650-mile bike ride
Musician 'emotional' after arriving at Glastonbury following 650-mile bike ride Jack Cullen, who lives in north-west London, embarked on the cycling trip from Edinburgh to the famous festival with his childhood friend George "GK" Kershaw, 33, on May 30. The line-up included Jack Cullen, an English-Irish singer-songwriter known for his soft indie pop soundscapes and mellow guitar playing. (Image: Mark Chase/Columbia ) A musician who is playing at Glastonbury Festival has described how "emotional" it was to arrive at the music event following a more than 650-mile bike ride that started in Scotland. Jack Cullen, who lives in north-west London, embarked on the cycling trip from Edinburgh to the famous festival with his childhood friend George "GK" Kershaw, 33, on May 30. He told the PA news agency: "It feels amazing and somewhat emotional in a way. "I think these things are always, you forget what you're doing during it, and then you realise 'Oh, we've just been doing this for the last month, and now we're here'. "And it's kind of as simple as that. So it feels, overall, it just feels really, really, really good." Cullen said the pair have faced "horrendous wind and rain" in the past month but joked that his Birkenstocks have held up. Article continues below Along the route, which took him through areas including the Lake District, Manchester and Liverpool, he performed in quirky venues, including a sauna, and also held an intimate gig for one of his most loyal fans. He told PA: "We went over to Liverpool, played a little gig, to one fan in particular actually, who always comes to my shows, drives down from Liverpool to London. "So I cycled four hours to go meet him and play him some of the new tunes face to face. So that was a really, really special one." While in the Lake District he shot a music video for his new single with RCA Records, All I Need, and said he almost lost a drone and had to hike up a mountain "for a few hours" to retrieve it. Cullen's friend did not have a ticket for the festival when they set off, but the singer-songwriter says he has now gained entry with the stipulation he must "do a few bits of work". Before he embarked on a career in music, Cullen was a professional rugby player and represented Ireland in the U20 World Cup and Six Nations. Article continues below In 2016, a series of injuries, such as damaging his shoulder and tearing his anterior cruciate ligament, left him bedbound, which is when he picked up his guitar and began writing music. Over time, Cullen began playing his music across the UK and built a fanbase, culminating in more than 20,000 followers on TikTok. He is scheduled to perform at Glastonbury Festival on June 29 at 2.50pm on the Wishing Well stage.
