However, despite only getting done by a wafer-thin margin in third in the six-furlong Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot, there is a suspicion that he might be better over five furlongs as he was in front a furlong from home at the Jelly Bean’s track so the Nunthorpe at York later in the campaign could be the time for punters to get stuck in.

Tuck into some new season Red Tractor Lamb for great taste and flavour that has been responsibly sourced
John Torode tells us why new season lamb will always be his favourite dish to cook once and use twice
New season lamb is at its best right now and celebrity chef John Torode is enthusing about the dishes he plans to cook.
Nothing beats local lamb for flavour, he says, whether you cook it simply or zhoosh it up with spices or a marinade.
“Lamb is one of those extremely versatile meats and that’s why everybody loves it so much,” says the TV chef.
Sourced from traceable farms that adopt best practice regarding animal welfare and production methods, buying Red Tractor Lamb guarantees stringent standards.
“One of the great things is that even for novice cooks it’s easy to cook lamb," adds John.
"Anyone can roast a shoulder or a leg of lamb. Score it well so that fat starts to melt into the meat, making it lovely and moist, then you’re going to get maximum flavour of rich and lovely lamb, which is what we’re after.”
What’s not to love about a show-stopping roast, cooked low and slow, the aroma driving everyone to distraction until they can sit down and tuck in.
But the leftovers are what really sets this apart and make it worth investing in a larger joint, because the next day you can create another amazing dish the whole family will love.
John says a roast leg or shoulder of lamb can be a delicious midweek feast that you can stretch over a couple of days, making it cost effective.
“Once it’s been cooked you can take it off the bone and shred it, or you put it back in gravy and braise it, or make it into fritters like the wonderful ones my dad used to make,” he says.
“It’s something he cooked when I was a kid and it's pretty simple. You’ll eat about 10, they are so delicious.
Dad’s Roast Lamb Fritters Dad always cooked these fritters the day after we had feasted on roast lamb. They are easy to make, quick and cheap. I don’t know where the recipe originated but my dad used to cook them for my brothers and me and they bring back many happy memories of growing up. I love them. And him. (Makes about 8–10 fritters) Ingredients 500g roast lamb, fat trimmed off and diced into pieces the size of your thumb
1 small onion, finely diced
300g self-raising flour
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
350ml cold water
Vegetable oil, for frying Heat the oven to 160°C/Gas 3. Method Mix together the lamb and onion. In a separate large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, pepper and water. Drop the lamb and onion into the flour and mix well. You will need to cook the fritters in at least 2 batches. Pour a good layer of oil into a large frying pan – it should be about 0.5cm deep. Drop large tablespoonfuls of the fritter mixture into the oil. These little morsels are cooked in the same way as a pancake – slowly, over a medium heat for 3–4 minutes, until brown around the edges. Turn the heat down if the fritters cook too frantically. Turn the fritters over and leave to cook for another few minutes until they’re brown and crispy. Move the cooked fritters into a roasting tin and pop them in the oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining batch(es). Serve with creamed spinach, peas, beans and buttered carrots or as a snack with piccalilli, mustard, tomato or brown sauce.
“Using leftovers comes from a time when people were more frugal and in recent months people have become more like that again. With lamb there’s so many things you can do and, of course, a cold lamb sandwich with lots of butter on white bread is still a delicious thing.”
When you see the Red Tractor Mark and the Quality Standard logo, you can be confident that all lamb were born, reared and processed in England and hold whole life quality assurance.
Make sure you chat to your local butcher, says John, who’ll be able to tell you where the lamb came from and may suggest different cuts for you to try.
“The butcher is brilliant because you can see what you’re buying and you can ask exactly where it came from.
Butcher's tip “If you enjoy lamb now’s the time to get some because it's at its best and in season,” says Roger Anderton, from Brendan Andertons Butchers. His traditional shop in Longridge sells lamb at its seasonal best, sweet and tender, 4-6 months old and raised on the local Lancashire hills. His personal favourite is a roasted shoulder of lamb but he adds: “Lamb is such a versatile meat and it’s lovely whether you do a traditional roast or make a lamb curry and at this time of year there’s nothing better than lamb steaks pan fried or on the BBQ.” Ask your local butcher for some ready-made spice seasoning or a marinade if you fancy a change, says Roger.
Everyone’s been at home recently, planning meals and cooking, and John and wife Lisa Faulkner have shared a recipe on Instagram every day.
Sitting down to eat at the table together is also a daily ritual: “Whether it’s just me and Lisa or the family are here, the table is always set," he says.
If you are planning ahead, John suggests buying a joint of lamb to freeze until you need it, just taking it out the night before you intend to cook.
It’s also fine to freeze cooked lamb, as long as you defrost properly before reheating thoroughly, then eat it straightaway.
Research the dish you want to create, go online at simplylamb.co.uk and be inspired by some of the new season lamb recipes or try John's recipes then enjoy the preparation which, for many people, is like therapy.
John adds: “It’s one of the great things about cooking and the reason I love it. You have to concentrate, watch what you’re chopping, keep an eye on the stove, maybe have the radio or some music playing."
Then tuck into the dish with the same passion that went into producing your Red Tractor English Lamb.

Terry George, a DJ, claimed that he met the singer in Leeds when he was a fan and the two kept in touch.
George, 28 and a DJ at the time me made the allegations, claimed the singer called him, described graphic sexual practices and encouraged him to do the same.

Details of the high-level investigations are revealed in a new biography by author Dylan Howard.
In his investigation into the singer, Howard uncovered Federal files which show that LAPD suspected Jackson had violated the Slave Traffic Act, designed to stop the transportation of adults or kids for ‘prostitution, debauchery, or any other immoral purpose’.
As he delved deeper, Howard discovered the hefty accusations were not entirely unwarranted as, according to more secret FBI files, a year before the Chandler allegations a Canadian couple told authorities they suspected the singer had smuggled a child abuse victim across America by train. The couple both worked in child services.
They told investigators that Jackson was ‘very possessive of the boy at night’ and that they heard ‘questionable noises’ during the journey.
When they asked, they were told the boy was cousin.

“Incredibly, the situation was never fully investigated,” says Howard.
Jackson’s MO of identifying young child companions as relatives rings true. Several years later in 1996, on his honeymoon with Debbie Rowe, he spent lots of time with a ‘new special friend’.
The eight-year-old was called Anthony and Michael claimed he was a nephew if anyone asked.
Revelations uncovered in Bad raise fresh questions about the singer and his relationship with the many young children he travelled with.
Chillingly, Howard uncovers rumours of historic patterns of abuse going back decades.

One insider told the author: “He started far earlier than people think. His abuses go back more than 30 years and may involve thousands of victims.”
The claims have been mirrored by Vince Finaldi, attorney for Finding Neverland victim Wade Robson.
The lawyer accuses Jackson of operating ‘the most sophisticated child sexual abuse procurement and facilitation operation the world has ever known.”
And, Howard reveals that there may be even darker secrets to be exposed.

Jackson’s long-time associate, jailbird private eye Anthony Pellicano, who worked for The Star until the mid-2000s, recently made a confession.
In an interview he revealed: “I quit because I found out some truths. He (Jackson) did something far worse to young boys than molest them.”
But the PI has refused to go into further detail, so we may never know the truth about the depravity of the star.
Bad: An Unprecedented Investigation into the Michael Jackson Cover-up by Dylan Howard is published by Skyhorse Publishing.

Jay Rodriguez’s second-half equaliser meant Burnley became the first team in 18 months to come away with a Premier League point at Anfield on Saturday.
Andy Robertson gave the newly crowned English champions the lead after 34 minutes, bending a wayward cross back round the goalkeeper at the back post.
But England’s likely next No.1 Nick Pope had an otherwise outstanding afternoon and kept the Clarets in the game with two world-class saves before the break.
Liverpool were exposed for their tired defending later in the game and it was left to an unmarked Rodriguez to drive a route one delivery into the net.
Burnley’s brilliant performance took them above Tottenham Hotspur into ninth place and only two points behind Wolves and a potential European place.
Jurgen Klopp’s title-winners now need at least two wins and a draw from their last three fixtures to round off a record-breaking 100-point league campaign.

Stacey was fit and healthy and only hours before her diagnosis did she suffer any pain.
And she is recording her emotional journey on her Facebook page to make sure her family and friends can see her staying strong, while hoping to help others going through similar turmoil as herself.
“I couldn’t get through all my presents, there were so many. I was like a kid in a candy shop, I got spoilt rotten by everyone,” said Stacey.
“I got to spend my 36th birthday with the people I love more than anything in the world.
"I got so many gifts I couldn’t possibly name them all but they were all absolutely beautiful.

“I also got a super special birthday gift off my amazing friend Jeanette Thornton that will stay with my babies for life.
"Jeanette bought me a star, my very own star, and named it ‘Braveheart’. So now my children can always look up into the sky and say ‘look that’s my mam’s star’. They will own that star one day.
“It’s the most beautiful thoughtful gift ever, I’m so lucky to have so much love around me. I’m so thankful for every person I have in my life.
“I’m thankful for each and every day I get to smile and laugh, I’m even thankful for the days I wake up and spend crying. Life’s so precious, people are so precious, family and friends are love and happiness.”
Stacey had been mowing the lawn when she got a pain in her back. She went to bed but got up during the early hours in agony.
After calling 101, an ambulance took her to Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary where she received the most devastating news, before being transferred to the Freeman Hospital.
“I have cancer in my rectum, stomach, liver, lungs, lymph nodes, just all over,” added Stacey.
“My pain is being controlled but I’m still alive. I have four beautiful children and an amazing family and as you can imagine we are devastated.”
Stacey was diagnosed on April 26 and was told her cancer was terminal. She has since been told the cancer in her lungs and liver is spreading and is aggressive.

And she is about to start her fourth round of chemotherapy as she battles to prolong her life.
She is determined to stay strong for her children; Chloe, 19, Sophie, 17, Geordie, 13 and 11-year-old AJ (Anthony Junior). And she is getting support from her family and her children’s dad Anthony.
“I have written my will and that was the easiest thing I have had to do. Material things don’t mean anything to me. It’s people who matter. My kids get everything but my wish ring is going to my sister Abbey,” said Stacey.
"For my birthday I went with my family and friends for a meal. And my niece Charlene Murray bought me my first wig.
“I am terrified to lose my hair. Each time I get chemotherapy it gets thinner and thinner. But on July 25 I am shaving it all off to raise money for the hospital that is helping me - because they deserve it.
"Staff at the Freeman Hospital are keeping me alive and I want to give something back.
“When I look in the mirror now I see cancer, it doesn’t look like me anymore. I have changed so much. But I am wanting to be as honest as I can to help others.
“I’ve got 10.4k followers on TikTok videos and I get thousands of messages on Facebook.
"I am being as open as I can by sharing my thoughts and feelings and I want to help others who maybe going through the same as me.”
Stacey is so thankful to the NHS staff who are helping her and has set up a crowdfunding page to raise money for them.
She added: “The staff at the Freeman Hospital are amazing.
"They show me so much kindness, so much love and compassion, I can’t begin to thank them enough, no words could come close to how absolutely amazing they are. They are so dedicated to their jobs, it’s absolutely beautiful.
“They have become a part of our hearts and the hospital itself is absolutely immaculately clean.
“I have decided to raise money to go to the Freeman’s funds to thank them for giving me so much strength and determination to fight for as long as I possibly can.”
