SOUND ANGELA (3.30 Yarmouth)

She has plenty of placed form at Listed level and ran well in a hot handicap on her belated comeback at York last month.

EACH WAY THIEF

GULTARI (2.00 Yarmouth)

She won nicely over this course and distance last time and a 3lb rise in the weights looks fair.

IMPERIAL QUARTER (3.23 Sandown)

She was a good third in the Atalanta Stakes here last time when coming from a long way back. A repeat of that would take her close.

Anthony Joshua reveals he swears by 12-word motto in brutal dig at Daniel Dubois before Wembley Stadium showdown

ANTHONY JOSHUA warned he will not tolerate “nonsense” from Daniel Dubois – or anyone else.

AJ challenges for Dubois’ IBF heavyweight world title on Saturday in what is expected to be a 96,000 record sellout at Wembley Stadium.

But things got heated in the pre-fight sit down two months prior to the all-English title bout.

Joshua threatened to wrap a chair around Dubois’ face after being challenged to a scrap.

But AJ talked down the British beef and told talkSPORT how he lives by a 12-word motto: “I’ll tell anyone at home, don’t let anyone take an inch because that then becomes a mile.

“What that does is have a ripple effect and then other people start feeling that. ‘Oh, I can push his buttons as well.’

“You’ve gotta sometimes draw a line under certain things, put a full stop behind it and that way it eradicates anyone else thinking they can do it.

“I’m in a very competitive industry and you have to make your mark known that you’re not here to play games and that’s all it is.

“I’m just not someone to tolerate nonsense and I’d advise anyone else to have that same attitude.”

Dubois, 27, had just finished an exhausting flight from Brazil to London when he went face to face with Joshua, 34.

And he pushed AJ’s buttons after saying: “If you want to go now, let’s go.”

Joshua then hit back: “I’ll throw this f***ing chair across your face. Don’t disrespect me. Don’t disrespect me. Daniel, don’t disrespect me.”

Dubois refused to back down and said: “You can’t intimidate me. Who do you think you are?”

At that point, AJ stands up and warned: “Daniel, don’t disrespect me because I’ll put this chair around your f***ing face.”

Security had to intervene and prevent the 17st+ giants from breaking out into an early round one.

Joshua and Dubois again came nose to nose in the capital – this time without any scares – to kick off fight week.

Emmerdale fans ‘work out’ what really happened to Nate Robinson before his sudden disappearance

EMMERDALE fans think they have twigged onto the reason for Nate Robinson’s disappearance on the soap.

Viewers were left worried that the long running character had died in an explosive fire at the Dingle’s barn after Nate went missing around the same time it went up in flames.

However, after spotting on screen clues, some now think he is still alive – but suspect someone close to him is responsible for his disappearance.

Nate was recently involved in some drama in the Dales as Moira went in for a kiss with him.

Cain Dingle was furious to hear about the incident and went after Nate, assuming the pair were having an affair.

Rather than listening to his son’s explanations he got violent, and in the aftermath a badly beaten Nate decided to leave his life in Emmerdale behind and take a new job in the Shetlands.

Since then he hasn’t been heard or seen from.

Cain later discovered that Moira has been suffering from a brain tumour, causing her to act out.

He was filled with remorse after realising he unfairly attacked Nate and left him a repentant voicemail.

But he has received no response from the man.

Nate’s estranged wife Tracey also attempted to contact him, only to receive a strange text in response asking for her not to reach out to him.

Viewers noted this was strange because he has a daughter with Tracey and would not decline to pick up her calls in case it was something to do with their girl.

Some fans are suspicious that newcomer John Sugden might be responsible for Nate’s disappearance.

After thinking back to the moment when he decided to leave the village, they realised the last person he spoke to was John.

John was then spotted looking shifty beside his van after encouraging Nate to leave for the Shetland islands – making viewers think he may have killed or kidnapped him.

An Emmerdale fan shared their theory in an online forum, saying: “If that was his exit then how very odd low key!!

“However John was the only one to see him before the fire and then acted oddly stood at his van.

“Are we to see an upcoming storyline of John the killer and he’s texting Tracey from Nate’s phone?”

Another added to the speculation, pointing out: “We don’t know who John really is. Maybe Nate found out something about him?

“If the writers were just going to have Nate leave without speaking to any of his family, then there was no point to his last scene.

“His last scene was him FUMING (understandably) about the way he’d been treated. His own father had battered him for something he didn’t do.

“He was determined to get Moira to say what really happened. It’s too much to expect people to believe that he went from that to doing a complete U-turn (off screen) as if he thought ‘oh well never mind, I’ll just leave instead’.

“And if someone (probably John) has killed him then they’ve obviously got his phone and sent that text to Tracy to stop her from getting suspicious.”

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr brutally sack manager just THREE games into new season with replacement already lined up

CRISTIANO RONALDO’S side Al-Nassr have sacked manager Luis Castro.

The Portuguese boss has been given his marching orders just three games into the new season, having one won and drawn two.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored two goals this season with Al-Nassr in seventh

Al-Nassr currently sit seventh after three games, and are yet to lose this season.

A statement said: “Al-Nassr can announce that Head Coach Luis Castro has left the club.

“Everyone at Al-Nassr would like to thank Luis and his staff for their dedicated work during the past 14 months, wishing them the best of luck for the future.”

Castro, 63, has been in charge of the Saudi Arabian side since last summer when he replaced former Napoli manager Rudi Garcia.

Castro guided Al-Nassr to second place in the Saudi Pro League last term, finishing 14 points behind Neymar’s Al-Hilal.

This is despite club talisman Ronaldo scoring 35 goals during the season to be the league’s top scorer.

The hope was that Castro could close in on the Saudi title this term, but the club have made a poor start to the campaign.

Al-Nassr were beaten 4-1 in the Saudi Super Cup final in pre-season, and were held to two 1-1 draws with mid-table teams this term.

Reports suggest that the Saudi club are on the verge of hiring former AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli.

The 58-year-old parted ways with the Rossoneri after five years in May.

He guided AC Milan to the Serie A title in 2022 and earned his first major trophy.

When Ronaldo made the switch to Al Nassr in December 2022, Garcia was the manager.

The Frenchman was sacked after a feisty confrontation with players in April 2023, as Ronaldo expressed his dissatisfaction with his tactics.

Meanwhile, it was revealed that Ronaldo eats a different meal to every other Al-Nassr player and keeps his team-mates diets in check too.

Former Manchester United star Alex Telles told how Ronaldo “gets his own meal. The food is different, the nutritionist arrives with the plate already served.”

The 39-year-old has won one trophy with Al-Nassr.

It came after the five-time Ballon d’Or winner bagged a brace in the final of the Arab Club Champions Cup final against Al-Hilal in 2023.

Israel dramatically expands war plans paving way for Lebanon invasion and all-out clash with Hezbollah terror army

ISRAEL dramatically expanded its war plan yesterday, bringing its forces to the brink of a bloody all-out clash with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Northern Israel has been evacuated for months after Hezbollah launched daily rocket barrages to support its Hamas terror comrades.

But Israeli leaders yesterday added a new goal to its list of three primary post-October 7 war aims: “The safe return of the residents of the north to their homes”.

And Defence chief Yoav Gallant warned the new objective could only be achieved by “military” action yesterday.

The announcement paves the way for the first full-scale invasion of southern Lebanon since 2006 in a drive to push back the terror group and allow Israelis to return home.

But the risky move raises the spectre of Hezbollah backers, Iran being drawn into a devastating regional conflict.

Gallant has already revealed Israel Defence Forces’ plans to switch their focus from Hamas in Gaza to the northern front.

Prime Minister Netanyahu added “it will not be possible to return our residents without a fundamental change in the security situation in the north”.

Since the day after last year’s October 7 attacks in which Hamas claimed 1,200 lives, Hezbollah has supported its Islamist ally with drone, rocket and guided missile attacks.

They have killed 26 civilians and 20 soldiers and forced 80,000 Israelis to flee south to escape the blitz, which has damaged nearly 1,000 homes within six miles of the border.

IDF air power alone has been unable to stop the life-threatening barrages and analysts now believe a ground invasion of southern Lebanon could be imminent.

One plan being considered by Israeli war chiefs is a move to occupy a buffer zone inside southern Lebanon.

Netanyahu was last night said to be holding top-level talks with military planners to draw up a blueprint for a northern offensive.

But Iran – which has funded and stocked Hezbollah’s military machine for years – looks certain to respond with its own strike back if a ground assault is launched.

It comes as hundreds of Hezbollah fighters today have been injured after their pagers exploded in Lebanon.

The devices have blown up across the country in what Lebanese media is claiming is a massive “hacking attack” by Israel.

A Hezbollah source told AFP: “Dozens of Hezbollah members have been wounded in the south and in Beirut’s southern suburbs after their pagers exploded.”

Hezbollah officials have pinned the attack on an “Israeli breach” of its communications.

At least 150 people are reported to have so far been injured and there are no reports of death.

Videos circulating on social media reportedly show the explosions happening, with one showing a man’s bag exploding in a grocer.

Mojtaba Amani,  the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Beirut, was also reportedly injured in the blast that took place in Beirut.

Hezbollah has been ‘readying to invade Israel for YEARS

By Ellie Doughty, Foreign News Reporter

HEZBOLLAH fighters are readying to storm Israel from southern Lebanon and spark a “catastrophic” war, a Middle East expert has warned.

Professor Asher Kaufman told The Sun that Israeli forces are now more focused on tackling the Iran-backed threat in Lebanon than defeating Gaza-based terror group Hamas.

Speaking to The Sun from Jerusalem, Professor Kaufman said: “We may be facing a situation where Hezbollah units could try and cross the border in order to take some territory from Israel, just as Israeli forces might do in Lebanon.

He told us “their elite force has been training for that possible scenario” for years.

Now it is looking increasingly likely that the risky tit-for-tat skirmishes between Hezbollah and Israel could escalate into a full blown armed conflict.

Kaufman, from the KROC Institute for International Peace Studies, investigates the border dynamics between Israel and Lebanon – where the Hezbollah militant group is based.

Israel’s Defence Forces (IDF) have been gearing up for a possible invasion by Hezbollah – and preparing to defend against one – for some time.

Kaufman explained: “The IDF in the north has been training for that possibility for years now with the knowledge that one unit of Hezbollah might cross the border and take over Israeli community settlements.

He said “the paradox is that eventually it happened in the south”, when Hamas stormed the border from Gaza on October 7 last year.

Israel is almost 12 months into its bloody war with Hamas in the south – and it is feared the war could now escalate into a direct confrontation in the north with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The militant group is thought to have 30,000 to 50,000 fighters and between 120,000 and 200,000 missiles, rockets, attack and reconnaissance drones.

Israeli officials say they are prepared to go to war with Hezbollah – but the country is already embroiled in a conflict where tens of thousands of people have died.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s foreign minister, Israel Katz, has promised that a decision on “all-out war” with the group is coming soon.

And in December last year, Netanyahu himself warned Beirut would be turned “into Gaza” if Hezbollah started an all-out war.
