Robin Goodfellow's racing tips: Best bets for Saturday, June 7
Mail Sport's racing expert Robin Goodfellow delivers his tips for Saturday's meetings at Musselburgh, Epsom Downs, Worcester, Doncaster, Hexham, Chepstow and Lingfield. RUBY'S PROFIT (NB) has the ideal draw (Epsom 2.10). From stall 18, she can use the blistering pace she has shown on her three starts this season — winning twice and finishing runner-up in the other — to get to the nearside rail and lead. DEMOCRACY DILEMMA (NAP) will relish the five-furlong downhill speed test (Epsom 2.45) and can go one better than last year, despite racing off 2lb higher. He drops back into handicap company for the first time in five runs. CHRIS BAKER'S WIZARD OF ODDS 1.00 Epsom: ROYAL DRESS went close in this race last year before going on to land a Group Three contest in Ireland. She made a pleasing return to action in a higher grade last month. 2.45 Epsom: CLARENDON HOUSE was second in this race two years ago, while nothing went to plan in last year's renewal. He has since won two Listed races and is in good form. 4.15 Epsom: FOURONEOHFEVER enjoyed a productive 2024, including a placed effort in a Royal Ascot handicap. He is coming back to form and should have his ideal ground.

On The Road: Musselburgh's quadruple heroes add to the East Lothian town's rich tapestry of footballing success stories
Kirkcaldy and Dysart 0 Musselburgh Athletic 2 No one quite knows who put the mussel into Musselburgh but, two thousand years after the Romans settled there, it rewards an old dodderer fishing for stories.

I'm a nail tech – here's the two words I hate from clients, I won't reply or book them in
A NAIL expert has revealed the two words that prospective clients say that can gets them ghosted. There's plenty of bad habits such as being glued to your phone and creating awkward conversations that can lead to a frosty atmosphere in the salon. But some beauty fans could ruin their chances of an appointment before they're even through the door. Nickie runs her own salon in Musselburgh, East Lothian, and also trains up other prospective nail technicians. In a recent TikTok video, she revealed her "unpopular opinion" about message enquiries. She said: "I'm not replying to you if you just write to me 'how much'. "Sorry? How much for what? How much for nails? How much for training? Eyebrows? Hair? A lift to your mum's house? "Like what even happened to 'hey how are you?'. "Not even a 'how are you?' Just like a 'hi'. "'Hi. How much is nails?' Or 'how much is training?' "[Just] 'How much?' Like? I'm sorry but I can't even reply because I feel like it's like a waste of my time because then I know you're not going to reply back to me again." She continued: "Am I just getting too old because I just don't know the lingo of this generation? How much? Even just like HW? What? Beauty fans can get their nails done professionally for just £5 in Superdrug - here's how "So unless somebody can speak an English sentence to me that is clear then I can't reply because…bye." And it turns out Nickie's grievance isn't an unpopular opinion at all, as her quickly racked up more than 10,000 views with plenty of comments from other beauty professionals. One said: "I have just completly stopped replying to people with those kind of messages. I find it so rude and I don't want clients like that. "Customers don't realise we do pick and choose our clientele." A second wrote: "I always just send my booking link lol" A third chimed in: "Or 'how much for gels' you tell them & they ghost you obviously think you're too expensive." "Completely agree, it's so rude", fumed a fourth. A fifth echoed: "It's so rude bugs me so much." Meanwhile, a sixth added: "If they arent kind enough to say 'hi', it isnt good money." Biggest beauty mistakes Fabulous' Beauty Editor Tara Ledden has shared the do's and don'ts when it comes to beauty. "No matter how much time and money you spend on your beauty routine, if you're not getting the basics right, the rest is wasted. "There aren't many non-negotiables, but these are the biggest beauty mistakes sabotaging your regime." Not wearing SPF: Sun-damage is the main cause of premature skin ageing, so if you want to keep your skin looking plump and glowing, sun cream is vital. Using expired products: Best case, they're ineffective and don't deliver the results they promise, worst case they cause irritation and infection. The shelf life of beauty products differ - for example, mascara is usually good for 3-6 months while lipstick can last for 9-18 months. Check the 'POA' symbol on the packaging (it looks like a jar and will have a number inside for how many months it's safe once opened. If you can't remember when you opened your product, throw it away and start again, marking the month and year with a permanent marker on the packaging. Not knowing your undertones: If you're using make-up with the wrong undertones, it'll never look natural no matter how much you blend it! An easy trick to work out whether you have cool, warm or neutral undertones is to check the veins on your wrist - if they look blue, you have cool undertones, if they're green, you have warm and if they're a mix you have neutral. Skipping heat protector: It might feel unnecessary, but much like sun damage on the skin, excess heat is the most common cause of hair damage. So, if you want shiny, healthy hair, or you're trying to grow it longer, using a heat protection product is key. Not washing your face before bed: it's as simple as this, if you're not washing your face before you go to sleep, everything that's been on your skin during the day is sitting there for even longer, clogging your pores and drying out the surface. Any skincare applied on top isn't going to be effective with a layer of dirt underneath, and you're probably going to end up with dirty pillows too - yuck!

All eyes on Ali Shuffle in smart renewal of Hilary Needler
The Karl Burke-trained Ali Shuffle, Ollie Sangster's Artista and Saucy Jane for Jack Morland have all carried the black and white colours of Nick Bradley Racing to victory over the same track and trip prior to this prestigious £50,000 contest. Ali Shuffle has since claimed the Lily Agnes at Chester and Saucy Jane was a creditable fourth in the Listed Marygate at York, while both of Artista's runs have been at Beverley. 'Ali Shuffle is three from three and (jockey) Sam (James) is adamant her best days are still ahead of her, I'm sure he's right,' said Bradley. 'I'm not sure where she'll go after this, but she's come out of the race at Chester well and it's all systems go. 'Saucy Jane ran a good race in the Marygate, I thought it would be slowly-run race but it wasn't, it was quickly run. 'We probably went a stride too fast and potentially set it up for the horses behind. Having said that, I don't think we would have won but we may have finished a place or two closer. 'Artista is another course and distance winner, she's a very smart filly and her work at home has been very good. 'She has already won at Beverley, beating our other filly (Homestrait). She's going to run here and then we'll potentially look at something like the Prix du Bois.' Jamie Insole and Dr Richard Newland head north with a nice prospect in Angel Numbers, who travelled strongly throughout when scoring on her first start at Chelmsford, despite showing some signs of greenness. 'It was a really nice debut at Chepstow, we haven't really seen how good she is yet because she never came off the bridle,' said Insole. 'But she's got a good draw in one and she goes there with a nice, live chance. 'We obviously had the option of going for the National Stakes next week or going straight to Ascot, but with the rain potentially coming in and other factors, we thought we'd take our chance on Saturday.' Tim Easterby's Argentine Tango was second to Ali Shuffle here on her racecourse bow and then prevailed at Pontefract before chasing home a smart type in Venetian Sun at Carlisle. Burke backs up the entry of Ali Shuffle by saddling comfortable Musselburgh scorer Meelaf and Craig Lidster's Arduis Invicta is far from out of it judged on two spins in similar company.
