July 26 Perth form analysis of all eight Belmont races
RACE 7 (1) KING OF LIGHT was super on debut when settling last in running, following highly touted youngster Aberdeen Flyer into the home straight and then sprinting on past him in the home straight. It was the win of a nice horse and it is expected that he will safely take care of rivals to remain undefeated. (7) VATICAN STORM was in that same race and got into all sorts of bother in the home straight. Looked like he had something to offer if the gaps had appeared. (4) RADIANT LIGHT trialled well behind Twisted Steel and then was closing the margin late on Mardusa on debut. (10) MEDIA CLUB kept coming under pressure on debut. RACE 9 (10) SUPERNATURAL again steps up in grade but stays on the minimum. She is coming off a last-start Heavy victory and given the amount of rain that the metro area copped on Wednesday night/Thursday morning it is likely to be at least in the soft range come Saturday. These progressive fillies on the minimum are always hard to hold out and while this race has more depth, expect she will take beating. (3) COOL MEMORY sat outside Richanco first-up at 1,200m and returned a winner and second-up was squeezed out late in a 76+. This is a great race for him if he can roll to the top. (5) SUNNY HONEY has had no luck throughout the entirety of his preparation. He deserves to win one, he has been tough in defeat. (2) HELL I AM is building. RACE 11 (3) LUCKY I AM is just thriving on being ridden for pure speed and relishing the wet track conditions. Great opportunity for Chanel Cooper to open her Saturday winners' account with a jump-and-run horse with only 55.5kg on her back. (5) YORGA PRIDE was three-from-three undefeated leading into the WA Breeders when beaten under 3L by London's Image at Bunbury. Was immediately tipped out for a spell and now returns off the back of a strong trial. She has got gears. (8) SNOW GOD was heavily commissioned at stages in betting last week and ran really well, however, he is again dealt a tough barrier/map. (2) GOD'S GATE beat the older horses impressively last start. RACE 13 (6) FANCY RED won the Belmont Oaks. (1) ARCADIA PARK won the Aquanita Stakes. Which race is the stronger form reference? There is no doubt going into the race that the boys' division had more depth (Our Paladin Al, Elite Missile, Redback Flyer) but there was something to like about the way that Fancy Red sat back, cut her way through the conditions and the traffic and burst clear late. Going to go with the filly. Arcadia Park is drawn barrier 1 in a race without much speed. It remains to be seen if he leads or box-seats on (2) LANO, who is up in grade but is bred to stay. (8) LILLIAN did a stack of work in the Oaks. RACE 14 (Best Bet) (2) FAMOUS DAIN just could not quite reel in Lano last start in a 60+ Graduation over 1,690m at Bunbury on a Heavy track. He is "up in grade" but this race may not have any additional depth to it, and yet he drops 2.5kg and gains the services of William Pike. Drawn to stalk a solid tempo and should be given every possible. (7) ARCADIA KNIGHT was a last-to-first winner on a Heavy at Pinjarra and then never got into the contest second-up. (4) STYLISH LORD is a model of consistency but does seem to find it hard to win races. (1) KISSES FROM KELLY does his best work at Belmont and was not disgraced first-up in a 72+. RACE 16 (9) WANT A WINNER suffered his first career defeat at the hands of Desert Whisper last start. He is back out to 1,200m and considering that filly nearly pinched a 72+ last week at Bunbury, there is no issue with the form. He should bounce out and take cover on the speed that comes across from out deep and all of a sudden he is likely to be nearly each-way. (13) ESSENTRIC NATURE burst onto the scene with a brilliant first-up C3 1,100m win at Bunbury and trialled well at Lark Hill. Nice type. (10) OBJECTIFY can mix her form but her best is good enough to win this. (11) HORCRUX is better ridden for speed. Without Pike he will balloon in price. RACE 18 (1) MASAMUNE deserves to win another this prep. Was no better than three deep the trip behind En Plein Air three back. Got a squeeze out and had genuine excuses two back and last start, was the only horse to make ground behind high-speed filly Desert Whisper. (14) KARNUP QUEEN was seriously stiff last week at Bunbury. She ran fourth beaten nearly 2L but watching the replay it is easy to sell yourself that with clear galloping room, she nearly wins that event. Great placement on the seven-day back-up. (6) TRUE APOSTLE lumped 59.5kg first-up and peaked late. (4) SOLDANELLE is a hard mare to catch but Stefan Vahala has now figured her out: She is best fresh and she does not stay. RACE 20 (13) SURF PATROL is knocking on the door and looks to strike a very winnable race on the seven-day back-up. Closed off well behind Fancy Red in a C3 1,400 (she has since won a 60+ Grad, Belmont Oaks and likely jumps favourite in the Belmont Classic), finished half-a-length off Simply Thinkin' and gets a 1.5kg weight swing and then last week ran third in a 3-year-old Plate behind Timeless Gem. All stacks up. (11) ANTIQUE STAR was held up the entire last week and looked to be bolting. (1) SIMPLY THINKIN' is a mare in form and is versatile. (14) MY JIMMY trialled like the horse of old. Hopefully he can show it on race day. Comments courtesy of Racing WA

She described him as her favourite star forever and considered the opportunity to share that viral moment an honour. 'I was standing next to him that day in about five-inch heels.

'Shah Rukh Khan is standing in front of me, asking, 'Give me tips on how to grow taller,' and things like that. And I'm on national television, 19 years of age, and I say, 'Sorry, but I think you've gone past the age where you can grow any taller.' I just said that as a quick rebuttal. But he's an extremely good sport—he was very sweet about it,' she stated. Reha's work front Reha is now all set to appear in the reality television show 'Chhoriyan Chali Gaon'.

King Charles launches bizarre new product using a midge-repellant plant found near a Royal estate
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KING Charles has launched his own range of beard grooming products - made from a midge-repellant plant found on the Balmoral estate. The monarch's 50,000 acre residence in Aberdeenshire is selling a collection of beard oils, washes and balms. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Chieftain Organic Beard Oil is priced at £25 3 Balmoral Castle, nr Crathie, Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, Scotland 3 King Charles III is launching his own range of beard grooming products The new range, which also includes organic body washes, has been made in collaboration with local beard care firm Hairy Highlander. The products have all been infused with wild bog myrtle, hand-foraged from the grounds of the Balmoral estate. The plant is common in the north of Scotland and it has been used for centuries by Highlanders to keep midges away. Its leaves and twigs, when crushed and rubbed on the skin, release a fragrant oil that acts as a natural insect repellent. Balmoral Castle and Estate said the shrub 'has long been valued in Highland tradition as part of skin-soothing botanical care - especially in harsh, weather-exposed conditions'. The beard care products feature two signature scents. They are Laird – a bright, citrus-spiced blend of pink grapefruit, lemon verbena, and cinnamon leaf - and Chieftain – a grounding mix of Norwegian fir, cedarwood, and patchouli, inspired by Highland forests. A 30ml of the Chieftain Organic Beard Oil is priced at £25 on the Balmoral online store while a 200ml bottle of the Laird Organic Beard Wash costs £32. In a statement, Balmoral Castle and Estate said: 'Introducing our new collection of organic body washes, beard oils, and balms; created exclusively for Balmoral Castle and infused with wild Bog Myrtle, hand-foraged from the Balmoral Estate. 'Expertly crafted in the Highlands by Hairy Highlander. Huge Prince Harry update as he arranges peace summit with King Charles 'within weeks' – but has no plans to meet William 'Now available as part of the Balmoral Exclusive Collection.' Family firm Hairy Highlander crafts organic grooming products from wild-harvested botanicals and donates 10 per cent of its profits to rewilding northern Scotland, helping restore native habitats and support long-term ecological regeneration. The company said it was 'a real honour to create this bespoke grooming range for Balmoral Castle'. Balmoral estate launched an online shop to sell merchandise last year and other products include a tartan throw priced at almost £1,000. The store features a range of gifts inspired by the Royal residence including socks, dog leads, baby clothing and beanie hats. The centrepiece of the collection is items made using the newly launched Balmoral hunting tartan which was created by leading designer Araminta Birse-Stewart. They include a £962 cashmere tartan throw, a tartan scarf priced at £385 and a shawl made using the fabric which costs £140. The tartan has also been used to create a hot water bottle and a hair scrunchie. Balmoral, in the heart of Royal Deeside, has been a Scottish holiday home for the Royal Family for decades and Queen Elizabeth died there aged 96 in September 2022.

I tested the royal mattress that's fit for King Charles – here's my thoughts & expert tips to keep cool on summer nights
KING Charles is hardly going to sleep on an IKEA mattress - and luckily, I was able to experience a truly regal sleep experience that's fit for the royals. The 5 Here, Abby Wilson shares her honest review on a royal-approved mattress Credit: Abigail Wilson 5 It doesn't come cheap, but according to this writer, is worth the investment Credit: Dreams And thankfully, I managed to get my hands on the posh mattress - which certainly doesn't come cheap. The pricey buy, which will set shoppers back an eye-watering £1,199 for a Single, £1,499 for a Double, £1,699 for a King and just under £2,000 for a Super King, is sure to burn a hole in your wallet, but is it worth it? Would it be magic or a money pit? Here, I put it to the test. After hearing that this Read more Fabulous stories So forget counting sheep or scrolling through YouTube desperate for relaxing ASMR videos when you next can't sleep - you'll have to count your money if you dream of having one of these mattresses in your home. As someone who exercises (or at least, tries to) several times a week while working full-time, I need a mattress that will let me sleep easily. And to add a slipped disc and chronic back pain to the mix, could this mattress give me the restorative sleep I needed to tackle everything? Here, I share my honest thoughts on the Sleepeezee, as I reveal whether it's worth the splurge. Most read in Fabulous While the mattress world is a minefield of options - this buy, which you can buy from Dreams store, has been a hit online so far, with numerous five star reviews and an average rating of 4.8 out of five. Comments describe it as 'so comfortable' and it is said to provide 'wonderful sleep,' but would it really offer One in four Brits say they prefer a firm mattress to sleeping on a firmer one First impressions First things first, this mattress is HEAVY. Thankfully, I had it delivered by pros, but it's worth noting it would definitely be a challenge to move by yourself. However, once it was on my bed, things were super smooth-sailing. The mattress has 2,306 pocket springs and is said to be 'medium comfort grade for all-round support.' As well as layers of ultra-supportive mini springs, it also has a sumptuous pillow top. And that's not all, as it's also got antibacterial bamboo woven through the plush pillow top surface, ensuring your mattress stays fresh. it deliver? And for those looking for an out of this world It's a great mattress and albeit expensive, if you ask me, it's well worth the investment. Not only have I woken up feeling well rested this last fortnight, but I'd even go as far to say I've actually had the best two weeks of sleep I've had in a very long time. Rather than spending hours of an evening chilling on the sofa, I can't wait to get into bed Abby Wilson It's genuinely one of the most comfortable mattresses I have ever slept on and I don't think I've ever slept so deeply and fallen asleep so quickly (the latter being something I often struggle to do). Now, rather than spending hours of an evening chilling on the sofa, I can't wait to get into bed. It really is like sleeping in a cloud and as well as being incredibly comfy, it moulds to the body, meaning I can catch Zs in any position. And thanks to the wool and bamboo in this mattress, it is said to work to regulate your temperature throughout the night. Benefits of the Sleepeezee Regency mattresses SO, why is this mattress better than the best? Hannah Hayden, a Junior Buyer at Dreams, has revealed why the Sleepeezee Regency mattresses are ones you won't want to miss. Hannah tells Fabulous: 'Each mattress in the Sleepeezee Regency range is handcrafted in Kent and features the timeless support of individually encased pocket springs, with options ranging from 1,600 springs in the Kenilworth mattress, 2,800 in the Kew mattress, to 4,200 in the Kennington mattress. 'These are paired with layers of naturally breathable bamboo and certified British wool, working together to regulate your temperature throughout the night. 'That makes a big difference in helping you stay cool, calm, and comfortable instead of tossing and turning – especially during this hot weather. 'Each mattress is infused with antibacterial bamboo, adding an extra layer of softness while also helping to keep the mattress fresher for longer. 'It's especially useful for allergy-prone sleepers who need a clean, healthy sleep environment. 'With a layer of adaptive pocket springs, these mattresses provide targeted support exactly where you need it while minimising movement transfer, so you're less likely to be disturbed by a restless partner. 'For extra peace of mind, every mattress in the Regency range comes with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee, a 100-night Comfort Guarantee, and the prestigious Royal Warrant of HM King Charles III, a true mark of exceptional British craftsmanship and quality.' I can't say that I haven't had sweaty nights in this past fornight, but then again, the temperatures in the UK have been quite wild recently. Overall, yes this nine-layer mattress is expensive, but you can't expect top notch quality at bargain prices, right? Experts advise that mattresses should be replaced every eight years, so although forking out for this is sure to make anyone's bank account wince, if you're feeling lost in a sea of memory foam, springs and hybrids, I'm sure you'll sleep easy once this lavish buy is in your bedroom. So if you've been tossing and turning on the same mattress for over a decade and have noticed it's got more lumps than a badly stirred gravy, it may just be the time to upgrade.

Not only does this mattress work to help you feel cool, but Sammy Margo, a Dreams Sleep Expert and a Chartered Physiotherapist for 32 years, here shares her top eight tips to battle the heat during 5 Sammy Margo shares eight tips to battle the heat during summer nights Credit: Dreams Hang a wet sheet in front of your window If you find yourself tossing and turning at night as the temperature rises, Sammy reveals why a damp sheet could be your saviour. The sleep pro explains: 'Dampen a sheet with cold water and hang it in front of your open window. 'The breeze will blow through the sheet and cool down your room.' Put your beauty bits in the fridge Secondly, Sammy reveals why keeping your beauty products in a make-up bag is a big mistake. She says: 'If you use beauty products such as facial sprays, toners, or moisturisers, consider storing them in the fridge. 'Applying chilled products to your skin can help soothe and refresh you, especially on hot and sticky nights. Plus, it can feel like a mini spa treatment before bed.' The best sleep routine and environment Thomas Høegh Reisenhus, TEMPUR® sleep specialist & sleep counsellor, reveals the key components of a good bedtime routine and environment... A sure-fire way to facilitate a better night's sleep is to practice good sleep hygiene. Establish a sleep routine that works for you and stick to it. This will help your body establish a consistent, natural sleep-wake cycle which can do wonders for your overall sleep quality. As such, try to avoid making up for lost sleep with a lie-in. Instead of sleeping in, spend your morning reading a book in bed or having a leisurely coffee in the kitchen. Ensure that your bedroom, bedding, and sleepwear are fit for purpose too. The ideal sleep environment is dark, quiet, and cool – much like a cave. If you find unwelcome sources of light are keeping you up, consider investing in an eye mask or black-out curtains. Adding soft furnishings can be a great way to reduce noise, with the surfaces having an absorptive quality, but if this doesn't work, consider embracing a soothing soundtrack to block it out. In terms of temperature, try to keep your bedroom at 18°C. You can further reduce the risk of waking up due to overheating by ensuring that all your bedding and sleepwear is made with natural, breathable materials such as cotton and linen. Bear in mind that everyone is different; what might work for most, may not work for you! Whilst knowing how much sleep you should get, how to overcome common barriers, and practicing good sleep hygiene can facilitate a great night's sleep, if you continue to struggle with sleep or fatigue persistently, do not hesitate to visit a doctor or health professional for support. Try a cold-water bottle Additionally, Sammy shares the hot water bottle hack you'll need to try, as she advises: 'Fill a hot water bottle with cold water and put it in the freezer for a few hours before bed. 'Then, place it at your feet or other cool parts of your body to help you fall asleep.' Keep a spoon nearby Not only this, but you'll want to keep a spoon by your bed if you're desperate for a good night's sleep, as Sammy recommends: 'Consider keeping a cold metal object, such as a spoon or a pan, within reach on your bedside table. 'Using this object to cool down specific areas of your body, such as your wrists or neck, before bed can help you feel more comfortable and refreshed. 'Plus, having it nearby means you can easily grab it during the night if you need a quick cool-down.' Freeze your sheets As well as hanging a wet sheet in front of your window, you'll need to keep the bedding on your bed chilly too, as Sammy says: 'Put your sheets and pillowcases in a plastic bag and stick them in the freezer for a few hours before bed. 'This can create a cool and refreshing sleeping surface.' Use cooling bedding Not only this, but if you're really struggling with the heat, you may also want to consider investing in Applying chilled products to your skin can help soothe and refresh you, especially on hot and sticky nights Sammy Margo Sammy shares: 'Look for bedding made with breathable materials, such as bamboo or cotton, that can help regulate body temperature. 'Additionally, there are special cooling bedding products, such as the TheraPur Cool Mattress Protector, TheraPur ActiGel® Glacier 1800 Combination Mattress and TheraPur Cool Fibre Pillow Pair - just to name a few - that are designed to stay cool and promote a comfortable sleep environment.' Make a DIY air conditioner But if you're looking for a more affordable alternative, why not make your own DIY air conditioner? Sammy shares her tried-and-tested trick, as she explains: 'Fill a shallow bowl with ice and place it in front of a fan. 'The air blowing over the ice will create a cool breeze that can help lower the temperature in your room.' Sleep solo And if you thought that was it, think again, as Sammy concludes: 'If you usually share a bed, consider sleeping alone during a heatwave. 'This can help prevent body heat from building up and making you even hotter.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club
