Racing tips and nap from Newsboy for Hamilton and 4 other Wednesday meetings
Newsboy's Nap selection for Wednesday, May 28, is the Jim Goldie-trained Oriental Prince (4.00) at Hamilton. His next best, In A Hurry (3.10), runs at Beverley
ENJOY some right royal success at Hamilton Park this afternoon by putting your faith in ORIENTAL PRINCE (4.00, nap) in the ICB (Water Proofing) Handicap .
The Jim Goldie-trained four year old continued his remarkable season when winning at Haydock 18 days ago for a sixth success in 2025.
On that occasion, he showed his courage by holding on from Abduction by a short head, and he can defy a further 3lb rise to garner an eighth career victory.
At Beverley, be quick off the mark with IN A HURRY (3.10, nb) in the Skidby Restricted Maiden Stakes.
The David O'Meara-trained Time Test filly was a good second in an Ayr maiden over a mile trip on her seasonal debut in April but was well beaten last time when stepping up a furlong in trip.
The combination of that extended distance and her over-enthusiasm put paid to her chances on that occasion, but now she is down to seven and a half furlongs.
Her debut as a juvenile last term was over seven furlongs and she was beaten a length into second in an encouraging run, and with two runner-up spots on her CV she looks ready to get her head in front.

Prestwick Cricket Club ready to mark 70 years not out at Henry Thow Oval
All roads lead to the Oval this Saturday for a birthday bash to remember. They've been bowling maiden overs for 70 years…now proud Prestwick Cricket Club are planning a birthday bash to celebrate. A host of eager worthies will pitch up on Saturday to mark another chapter in the club's long history which culminated in becoming Scottish champions eight years ago. Blasts from the past will team up with present day players and members ahead of the Henry Thow Oval clash against derby rivals Ayr. A spokesman said: 'Everyone with a connection to Prestwick Cricket Club is welcome to attend. A lot of planning has gone into the event and hopefully the weather will be on our side.' Alongside an afternoon of cricket, there will be food, drink and entertainment with karaoke at night in the club bar. Cricket was first played in Prestwick around 1929 but it wasn't until March 1955 that the first general meeting of a newly formed cricket club was held. The determined efforts of founder members Henry Thow, John Turnbull, Stanley Beaton, Bill Chisholm, Bill Crew and Colin Campbell laid the foundations for the start of a great journey. Prestwick Cricket Club's first officials were: honorary president: Sir Thomas Moore MP; hon vice chairman: Provost Gilbert Steele; hon vice presidents: Dean of Guild Kerr, Clr McNair, A Hay, J C Collins, Baillie G Nickson, James Thow, Dr Higgins; president: Colin Campbell; vice president: Robert M Gardiner; secretary and treasurer: William Crew; club captain: John Turnbull; vice captain: Henry Thow; committee: Brodie, Wilcox and T Maxwell. The first game took place on April 30, 1955 and resulted in an easy win for the newcomers - Prestwick scoring 80/9 and then bowling out visitors Jordanhill for only 29 with Bill Crew taking four wickets for 11. Former Rangers penalty king Johnny Hubbard skippered the team to their first major honour in 1972 when they won the Glasgow and District League. Hubby, who has a memorial bench in his honour at the ground, later proclaimed that despite all his footballing honours, the Prestwick title triumph rated as one of his best sporting achievements. The win was the launchpad for Prestwick to establish itself as one of Scotland's premier clubs and a string of league titles followed. They entered the Scottish Countries Championship which they won in 1990 and 1991 with Scotland star David Haggo as captain. They were Scottish League First Division champions in 1999 and 2002 before their biggest triumph in 2017 when they were the first west side to become Scottish Grand Finalist winners, Shahzad Rafiq's side beating Heriot's in a low scoring final. A thriving junior section has always been a cornerstone and as the club hurtles towards a century not out that ethos remains as strong as ever.

Newsboy's racing tips for Monday's three meetings, including Chepstow Nap
Newsboy reckons his Nap, Thurso, can defy top weight in the Betting Tips Handicap (4.20) at Chepstow, and he also rates Rogue Dancer a good thing on the all-weather at Wolverhampton in the 3.00 THURSO gets the vote to give his rivals weight and a beating in the Betting Tips Handicap (4.20) at Chepstow today. The Richard Hughes-trained son of Dutch Art failed to trouble the judge on his first six outings, but looks an improved horse on the back of a gelding operation. On his first run back from surgery, Thurso ran a good second to Distant Rumble at the end of April – the race was his turf debut – and was beaten less than a length in third behind Ballsgrove Boy back on Kempton Park's Polytrack the following month. Thurso then enjoyed a red-letter day, wearing first-time cheekpieces that are persevered with here, back on grass at Haydock Park last time out. Sent off at 5-1 in a field of 11, Finley Marsh's mount edged out Kisskodi by a head. The pair were eight lengths clear of the third and the runner-up has won not once but twice since. Bearing that in mind, an 8lb higher mark here looks within range. At Wolverhampton, ROGUE DANCER, a course-and-distance winner two outings ago, is fancied to bounce back from a defeat on turf at Doncaster when he locks horns with 10 opponents for the Highbet Football Free Bets Handicap (3.00).

Ferrari speak out on driver exit rumours amid Lewis Hamilton difficulties
A struggle for results has seen the pressure around Lewis Hamilton swell at Ferrari, but he isn't the only driver at Maranello with his name making the headlines Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur has grown weary of constant rumours suggesting Charles Leclerc might leave the team. He emphasised that the Monegasque driver is under a long-term contract with the Italian outfit despite persistent speculation about his future. Leclerc, 27, currently holds fifth place in this season's Formula 1 drivers' standings, one spot and 25 points ahead of his team-mate, Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time world champion joined Maranello amid much hype at the start of 2025, but Leclerc remains the dominant force for the team so far this season and has only finished behind Hamilton once. Both drivers were less than thrilled with their performance at the recent Canadian Grand Prix, where Leclerc and Hamilton finished fifth and sixth, respectively. In fact, Hamilton is yet to secure his first podium finish for Ferrari as the season reaches its halfway point, having largely struggled thus far. Given these circumstances, it's logical Ferrari would want to retain Leclerc, who continues to outperform Hamilton despite the latter's high-profile arrival. When asked about his own future with the team, Vasseur took the opportunity to address the ongoing speculation surrounding his leading man. "It's a good example to speak about Charles," he told the media after the Canadian GP. "Charles has a long-term contract with us. "Every single interview from the beginning of the season, he's telling that he wants to stay with Ferrari. He wants to win with Ferrari. His future is with Ferrari. "But every single Monday, we have an article telling that, 'Charles will go next year', 'Charles will...' At one stage, I don't know what we have to do. I'm sorry – I can't repeat every single weekend the same things. But it is like it is." Leclerc penned a new deal with Ferrari in January 2024. The specifics of his contract's duration aren't known to the public, though there have been reports in the past suggesting it could be a five-year extension. Leclerc himself expressed being "very surprised" at claims of his unhappiness. And he recently reiterated his desire to lead Ferrari to the pinnacle of F1 once again. "I have no idea where it's coming from," he recently told reporters. "So, I'll rather just ignore it. But I've never said anything of this in the last few races. If anything, I keep saying how much I love the team and how much I want to bring back Ferrari to the top. I was just surprised." In contrast, Hamilton signed an initial two-year deal at Maranello, which reportedly may extend to a third. Nonetheless, Ferrari might face a tough call come the close of the 2026 season if their fortunes don't take a sharp upward turn within the next year or so. Having joined Ferrari's driver academy at 18, Leclerc continues to be a loyal servant as he looks to crack the F1 hierarchy. And despite Ferrari still not clinching a victory so far in 2025, all signs point towards a lasting bond between the team and their top driver.
