We have a busy day’s racing on Monday with action from Bath, Wolverhampton, Plumpton and Deauville, live on Sky Sports Racing…
3.40 Plumpton – Alien Storm and War Lord clash in the feature
Five go to post in the Sir Christopher Wates Memorial Handicap Chase and War Lord will be bidding for successive wins having scored at Fontwell 28 days ago.
Joe Tizzard’s 10-year-old is a previous course winner and will have to defy a 10-pound rise in the weights today.
Alien Storm returned from a 155-day break with a second-placed finish last time out at Fontwell and will be hoping to go one better today as he returns to a track he’s won at three times from seven starts.
Ultra-consistent Hecouldbetheone is the mount of in-form Sam Twiston-Davies and has only finished outside the top three once from seven starts this year.
Juggernaut has hit the post a few times recently with form of 3, 2, 2 this year and Rex Dingle takes over the ride on a horse that he won on last time he was onboard.
The Gypsy Davey for Evan Williams makes up this field of five.
4.42 Plumpton – Masterdream seeks a four-timer over fences
Neil Mulholland’s dual-purpose gelding Masterdream will be bidding for a fourth straight win over fences in the Nick And Valda Embiricos Memorial Novices’ Handicap Chase.
Having competed on both the flat and over fences this year, Masterdream will be stepping back up beyond three miles having run over a little over two miles last time out at Bath.
Tropical Speed will be having his second start for his new stable here having finished second last time out at Newton Abbot. He is now back down to his last winning mark of 99 and drops back slightly in trip from that run.
Paul Nicholls’ six-year-old Ken Roy will be having his first run since wind surgery while Blackacre for Evan Williams completes the field off bottom weight.
6.30 Wolverhampton – €400,000 breeze-up High Approval seeks first win
Wathnan Racing’s High Approval will aim to record a first win at the fifth attempt here on his first start on the all-weather. The €400,00 breeze-up purchase was a beaten favourite on his first two starts and then ran below expectations the last twice. This will be his first run since being gelded.
The £350,000 yearling Return Of The Gods is an intriguing contender who will be looking to build on his third-placed finish on debut last time out over course and distance.
No Nay Never colt Noble Vow comes into this contest with some of the best form so far having finished third on both starts over six furlongs and has steadily been progressing with every run.
Electrocution, Regal And Real and Lady V are the newcomers in this field of nine in the Hotel & Conferencing At Wolverhampton Racecourse EBF Maiden Stakes.
Best of the rest

Chelsea youngsters thrash 10-man Ajax after first-half frenzy
Chelsea ran riot at Stamford Bridge by hammering 10-man Ajax 5-1 in the Champions League after a wild first half that featured five goals and three penalties.A straight red card to Ajax midfielder Kenneth Taylor in the 17th minute for his reckless lunge on Facundo Buonanotte sparked a bonkers opening period in which a much-changed Chelsea side secured their second victory of the league phase. Chelsea became the first team in the Champions League to have three teenagers score in one game when Marc Guiu, Estevao and Tyrique George all netted, with their starting XI having an average age of 22 years and 163 days - the second youngest in the competition's history. Maresca's changes pay off emphatically Chelsea made 10 changes from their 3-0 win at Nottingham Forest with only midfielder Romeo Lavia keeping his place. Moises Caicedo and […]
Liverpool end losing run with dominant victory in Frankfurt
Liverpool ended a run of four straight defeats in all competitions with a dominant 5-1 victory at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.The big news ahead of kick-off was Arne Slot dropping talisman Mo Salah to the bench for a second straight European game and it looked like a decision that could backfire as former Leeds defender Rasmus Kristensen (26) finished a fine Eintracht move to give the hosts the lead. If Liverpool's defending left a lot to be desired for Kristensen's goal, Eintracht matched them. The hosts were caught up the pitch and Andy Robertson's pass released Hugo Ekitike (35) in on goal, with the striker keeping his composure to score against his former side.It was the start of blistering period for Liverpool as they added two more goals to make it three in nine minutes before the break.The […]
UNLV’s rent-a-coach system may be the way smaller schools keep up in new era of college sports
LAS VEGAS — From behind Dan Mullen’s desk in the sparkling Fertitta Football Complex, floor-to-ceiling windows reveal the skyline of a city where they’re used to short stays.It just so happens that we are here, racing through a conversation about Mullen’s old job, his current one and what his future might hold, the day after Florida fired Billy Napier.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementYes, we are mostly talking about UNLV, the program Mullen has led to a 6-1 record after he spent the last three years as a television analyst.But the broader climate of college football, and the fact that Mullen’s former employer just got rid of the coach that replaced him, were unavoidable topics on this particular day. After all, the coaching carousel is now in full swing. And nobody is more aware about how all this works than the 53-year-old Mullen, who became […]
What to make of Tony Vitello’s surprising move from the Tennessee Volunteers to the San Francisco Giants
In a groundbreaking move, Tony Vitello, the head baseball coach at the University of Tennessee, has accepted an offer to be the next manager of the San Francisco Giants, according to Jeff Passan and Pete Thamel of ESPN. Reports of mutual interest between Vitello, 47, and Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey broke last week, unleashing something of a mini-saga in Knoxville as Vitello deliberated on his next step.Volunteers fans hung a banner during a recent fall practice that read “PLEASE STAY TONY.” University of Tennessee diehards appeared to create fake San Francisco Giants fan accounts intent on raising faux concerns about the hire in a last-ditch attempt to keep Vitello in town. But in the end, Vitello, who led the Vols to the first national championship in program history in 2024, apparently couldn’t pass up a shot at […]
