Liverpool were wise to keep Cody Gakpo with their forward line still under reconstruction
Had things gone a little differently, Cody Gakpo would have joined Manchester City this week. All the reporting suggested the Dutch attacker was on his way to the Etihad Stadium before the end of the summer transfer window in a move that had many Liverpool supporters scratching their chins in puzzlement.

Ripon Place 6 Preview | 1st September
14.10 Napoleons Casino And Restaurant Leeds Apprentice Handicap COSMOS RAJ has five course wins in the book, with the last of those coming off a mark of 77 last year in a stronger event. Even after returning to winning ways last time out, the eight-year-old remains 11lb lower than when he last won at this venue, so he remains well handicapped and can go close.

Our Four Best Bets for Sunday’s Racing
AIN’T NOBODY (14.15pm Beverley) The Beverley Bullet looks wide-open. However, it’s about time AIN’T NOBODY recaptured some of his best efforts. This Group 2-Royal Ascot winner has yet to match the form of last year’s second in the Nunthorpe, but that is the best form on offer, and maybe this significant ease in grade is what he wants.

Goodwood Place 6 Preview | 30th August
13.25 Tattersalls EBF Novice Stakes An informative opener with the narrow vote going to NEW OXFORD. He was just behind Somerton on debut at Sandown but should appreciate the step up in distance and can have a say in the outcome.

Sandown Place 6 Preview | 29th August
13.40 Tattersalls 40,000 EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes TALL TREES looks a good bet in the first race on the card. She’s placed on her last couple of outings, including when a good third over C&D last time out in a stronger event.

Sandown Place 6 Preview | 28th August
14.25 Killik Nursery HOLI SCARLETT looks capable of going close in the opener. She was last seen finishing a good third at Newmarket and this looks like a much easier contest. I see no reason why the drop in distance won’t suit, so she’s the one I want to side with.

Newton Abbot Place 6 Preview | 27th August
16.42 Celebrating National Racehorse Week Maiden Hurdle ST JUST IN TIME ought to prove hard to beat. He was last seen finishing a good third at Perth and his yard remains in very good form. With the best form on offer, I’ll be surprised if Harry Derham’s charge cannot make the most of this excellent opportunity.

Manchester United’s Defence Is a Major Concern
An opening weekend fixture against a promoted team was meant to be a favourable way for Manchester United to start the 2026/27 season. Instead, it became their worst nightmare as Michael Carrick’s side suffered a dismal 2-0 defeat to Hull City in a game that brutally exposed their shortcomings.

Can Aston Villa keep pushing forward despite losing key players?
These should be heady days for Aston Villa and their fans. After winning the Europa League and qualifying for the Champions League, theoretically they are in a position of strength from which to build and launch an assault on the Premier League elite, but they can’t.

Catterick Place 6 Preview | 26th August
14.15 Yorkshire Dales Distillery/EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes Debutant MUGHEER could make a winning start to his career. This looks a thin race and his connections are prone to doing well with similar types.
