DON’T they say insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?
In which case, Ireland’s champion trainer Willie Mullins is as bonkers as a bonkers thing thinking Energumene can land today’s feature Grade 1 BetMGM Clarence House Chase at Ascot.

In 2022, after an epic battle, he came out second best behind Shishkin, while in 2023 he was third to Editeur du Gite in a re-arranged contest at Cheltenham.
My Saturday NAP
He’s 12 now and, amazingly, isn’t the oldest horse in the race! Iwilldoit, owned and trained by Sam Thomas, is a great eachway play against hot favourite Royale Pagaille. The selection carried a lot of weight to third in the Welsh National, proving there is life in the old boy yet.
Now to be fair I’ve known Mullins long enough to know he is kinda crazy, but not when it comes to horses.
So in this instance I’m happy to consider another saying, namely ‘if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.’
The simple truth is there aren’t many races for Energumene to turn up in, so here he is again on ITV in pretty much a match with Jonbon, the winner of 16 of his 19 starts.
Energumene arguably comes into the event with the best recent form, having returned from a long absence to land the Grade 2 Hilly Way Chase at Cork last time.
In that race he was about to face a challenge in the closing stages from Banbridge (gave 10lb) – the subsequent King George VI Chase hero – only for that rival to unseat his rider when a length down at the final fence.
Energumene jumped badly right on that occasion, something which would be a worry at Cheltenham but should not be so concerning at Ascot.
It’s more his age that is a worry. Although lightly raced with just 16 appearances to date, Energumene is 11 years old and only one other horse of that age has ever won the Clarence House.
That was Meikleour in 1990 and the event was a handicap then. He scored off 10st.
With that all in mind it’s hard to oppose Jonbon, trained like Shishkin by Nicky Henderson.
Indeed, ‘Hendo’ has landed this prize a record six times, including with my namesake, the fabulous Big Matt, in 1996. Say nothing anyone…
His other victors include the great Sprinter Sacre and Altior.
For all his wins, Jonbon is not yet a monster of the turf. He’s beatable.
Remember Constitution Hill once made him look very ordinary in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, while Elixir du Nutz turned him over in this race last year, another renewal run at Cheltenham rather than its normal Berkshire venue.
That all said, Jonbon brings in a high level of form and is pretty solid. I have a feeling he’s actually better than he sometimes shows us. Which seems a crazy thing to say about an eight-time Grade 1 winner. Nico de Boinville gets on with him every well.
Elsewhere today, don’t miss warrior Royale Pagaille who bids to land the Sky Bet Peter Marsh Handicap Chase at Haydock for a historic third time.
The Venetia Williams-trained 11year-old has landed five of his last six starts at the Merseyside track, including the Betfair Chase in November.
The crowd will love to see him back, ironically on a card which features Lossiemouth, although not the Lossiemouth that carries the same Rich Ricci silks as Royale Pagaille!
That all said, I’m thinking Iwilldoit is the eachway Peter Marsh bet.
I’m off to Windsor on Sunday for Sky Sports Racing, and having campaigned for years for jumps racing to return to the track I can’t wait.
Sadly, I wasn’t wanted at the course for the first two of their new National Hunt fixtures, but I know those in charge at Windsor are keen to create the atmosphere seen during the Flat season at the Monday night events and I’ll do all I can to do that.
There’s no doubt the feature race will be the Fitzdares Fleur de Lys Chase, which marks the third run of the season for last year’s Ryanair Chase hero Protektorat.
The Dan Skelton-trained runner probably needed out the outing first time at Cheltenham, and then wasn’t suited to going right-handed at Huntingdon when thrashed by Djelo, who goes again.
Protektorat will need to show a lot more here to start thinking he can retain his Ryanair crown. And at the age of ten you just wonder how much extra there is in the tank.
This two and three-quarter mile contest really is a belter, and also numbers the Peterborough Chase winner and improver Djelo, multiple Grade 1 hero Pic d’Orhy, hard to predict Ahoy Señor and the unbeaten Indiana Dream, once with Mullins but now in the care of the Jonjo O’Neill camp.
Indiana Dream could be anything, but this is a weekend of racing adventure Indiana Jones himself should try and discover.

A RYANAIR flight from the UK was forced to abort landing due to a mysterious GPS interference issue near NATO’s border with Russia.
The jet and it’s passengers, about to land in Lithuania, were forced to desperately divert to Poland.

This flight – which departed from London’s Luton airport – had started it’s decent into Vilnius Airport before it made a quick change.
The plane started lowering into the airport before it desperately lifted off again and flew 400 kilometres away into Warsaw, Poland.
A spokesperson for Lithuania’s air navigation confirmed the plane experienced a “GPS signal interference” and the quick decision was made by the pilot.
They said: “All other planes were landing at the airport as usual.”
The shock move, so close to Russia’s border with NATO, came after Estonia and Finland blamed Russia for jamming GPS navigation devices in the region’s airspace last year.
Lithuania’s Defence Minister confirmed a investigation was launched into the worrying incident, so close to the NATO border.
Russia has denied these claims but a European airport suspended all of it’s flights for an entire month last year due to the “extremely dangerous” issue.
Estonia’s second largest airport in Tartu had to dramatically cancel their flights for weeks after two Finnair flights were forced to return to Helsinki.

3 weeks agoLatest NewsComments Off on Inside Liam Delap’s stunning rise from learning gymnastics as a kid to being BANNED from copying dad’s famous throw-ins
LIAM Delap’s size and skill marked him out for greatness by the time he was nine.
But his phenomenal competitiveness was the key to turning him into one of European football’s most exciting strikers.
GettyDelap has enjoyed a breakthrough debut season in the Premier League[/caption]
Delap joined Ipswich from Manchester City last summerRexDelap’s hold-up game and brute physicality has shone through this term[/caption]
GettyDelap left City in search for first team opportunities[/caption]
On Sunday he faces Manchester City – the club that decided to sell him to Ipswich for £20million last summer.
Despite Thursday’s 2-0 home defeat by Brighton, the Tractor Boys are hoping Delap’s goals can fire them to Prem safety.
The Winchester-born star joined Derby County’s academy in 2009 – the same time Darren Wassall took charge of the youth set up there.
And by the time the youngster could register formally as an under-nine, the Rams knew they had something special.
Wassall told SunSport: “We had American owners and we had to do a presentation in 2011 or 2012 to say, in each age group, who were the top three players we thought could get through to scholarship.
“We’ve still got the slides of when Liam was an under-nine or under-10 and he was one of the three.”
All-rounder Delap tried his hands at plenty of sports while at school.
Sprinting built his speed. Gymnastics helped make his large frame strong and agile.
And doing a bit of javelin fed into his ability to do impressive long throws like his dad – former Stoke, Southampton and Derby midfielder Rory – until parents of other children complained that his bombs were spoiling games and he stopped doing them.
In any case, Delap’s attributes were more valuable in the penalty area than from the sideline.

AFPThe former Stoke player is remembered for his famous long throw[/caption]
Wassall said: “He was always among the biggest and most powerful players in his age group, and probably the age group above.
“He could bustle his way through and had a really good strike with his laces. He could put one in from 20 yards, or 30 yards as he grew older.
“But what really set him apart was his desire to compete.”
Sometimes Delap’s will to win went too far.
Wassall said: “Off the pitch he was likeable, so modest and humble and quiet.
“The pitch was his stage, it was like a switch being flicked.
“He was fearless. He didn’t mind getting hurt. He would go into the six-yard box with goalkeepers and defenders, where the boots were flying.
“But his competitiveness was also a challenge for us.
“He was so on the edge at times because he was so desperate to win, do well and score goals, that it boiled over.
“Mainly he would challenge decisions, mostly in a good way, but there were times when we had to step in and bring him off for his own sake.
“We had to show him that you can’t boil over because if you’re playing for the first team and do that, you will get sent off, miss three games and be no good to anybody.”
Derby also made sure that Delap did not rely too much on his physical attributes.
He would play in higher age groups and worked hard on his technique.
Wassall said: “I remember watching him as an under-14 or under-15, playing for the under-16s, and he scored five goals against Sunderland, I think it was.
“Every finish was different.”
GettyDelap’s former coach Wassall admitted that Delap’s ‘competitiveness was a challenge’[/caption]
The Winchester-born star joined England’s under-16s in 20185Delap spent 10 years in Derby County’s academyHe was loaned out to Hull City in 2022-23Rex
In 14 years at Derby, Wassall oversaw the development of more than 40 players who went on to clock up more than 1,200 first-team appearances for the Rams between them
But Delap did not follow the same path as Willl Hughes, Jeff Hendrick and others.
He was attracting the attention of clubs across Europe, including Bayern Munich,
And one day Wassall had to call dad Rory, by now a coach in the Derby Academy himself, to tell him that Manchester City were in for his son.
Wassall, now head of youth development at the EFL, said: “It was bittersweet because we wanted him to go on to the first team.
“He was part of the Derby family. His younger brother Finn was there too and Rory was working there.
“But it was a no-brainer for him to go.”
Delap’s move to City in 2019 was a big step in his football education.
GettyDelap signed a contract extension with City in 2021[/caption]
Kevin Betsy, the former Fulham, Barnsley and Wycombe striker, was the teenager’s head coach for four years at international level.
And Betsy saw Delap develop in confidence and all-round performance after initially being called up to England’s under-15s .
Betsy told Sun Sport: “There were a lot of players in the squad from high-level clubs, your Liverpool’s, Man United’s and Chelsea’s.
“Derby is a fantastic academy but they were in the EFL. That can come with a feeling of, ‘Am I good enough to be with this level of player?’
“In the initial under-15 camps he probably didn’t show his true level.”
One of many highlights was scoring in a 4-0 win over Brazil that infuriated the South Americans so much that they had two players sent off.

Betsy said: “The move to City bumped him up to a different level technically and tactically because of the way they played in their academy.
“City would often use the No 9 as a focal point in the build-up. Liam was receiving a lot of balls to feet with his back to goal and dropping deeper than a natural No 9, in order to link up the game.
“His hold-up play improved a lot and that was fantastic when he came in to the national team.”
But not so fantastic when Betsy moved on to work with Arsenal’s under-23 side and found himself coaching against Delap.
Betsy added: “I remember a 3-3 draw against City at the Emirates.
“You could tell your players what to expect from the opponents.
“But he scored two goals, one of them out of nothing, and set up the other. He was getting too good for PL2.”
City thought so, too. Delap scored on his senior CIty debut in the Carabao Cup in 2020 when he was 17 but was sent out on loan to Stoke and Preston in 2022/3, and to Hull last season.
PACity then shipped him out on loan to Preston North End[/caption]
Betsy said: “A couple of the loans probably didn’t go as well as he would have liked.
“But he would have grown stronger from those moments.
“He would have understood what it takes to be a first-team player in league football, what that feels like.
“Having a chance in front of a huge crowd is a different pressure.
“If you see some of the goals, there were flashes of the Liam Delap of the future.”
Ipswich saw enough to splash out an initial £15m to sign Delap last summer.
But City inserted a buyback clause and Betsy would not be surprised if the 21 year old found his way back to the club that Ipswich face on Sunday.
Betsy, now a first-team coach at QPR focusing on individual development, said: “There’s no ceiling to what Liam can achieve.
“Liam will be a player for England, a centre-forward, and, if he doesn’t achieve it at Ipswich, at a high-level team in the Premier League.
“For me, he’s good enough for Man City.
“As a back-up to Erling Haaland at the moment, but if he moved on, Liam would be next.”

3 weeks agoLatest NewsComments Off on Horrified dad screamed ‘my boy, my boy’ after four-year-old son dragged under wheels of neighbour’s minibus and killed
A HORRIFIED dad was heard screaming “my boy, my boy” after his four-year-old son was brutally dragged under the wheels of a neighbour’s minibus and killed.
Four-year-old Jayden Kearns was struck by the vehicle at around 4.35pm on March 26 last year when he was riding his bike.
He had been playing outside his home in New Rough Hey in Preston with other children, including the son of Chris Cleaver – the driver involved in the collision.
Mr Cleaver, who operates a school run service for children with special needs, was returning home from work.
Jayden’s grandmother, Kathleen Yates, was in her daughter Gemma’s home at the time, having brought Jayden home from the childminder.
When Mrs Yates heard Mr Cleaver enter the cul-de-sac she thought to herself “you k***head” as she believed he was driving too fast.
Mr Cleaver initially pulled over his Citroen Relay to speak to his own children before telling them he would park up and come out and play. The driver checked his mirrors and set off before hearing a “loud crunching sound”.
Neighbour Derek Winstanley also heard the collision. “I heard a loud crunching sound and I could see little Jayden being dragged under the wheels. Chris jumped out and picked up Jayden.
“I knew straightaway that it was serious. It looked like the life had gone out of him.”
Neighbours ran out of their homes to help while Mr Cleaver sat at the side of the road crying and with his head in his hands. Jayden’s grandmother Kathleen Yates shouted to him: “What have you done to my grandson?”
Jayden’s dad Iaran Kearns raced out of his home wearing only a towel, having been in the shower at the time of the crash, screaming: “My boy, my boy, help my boy.”
Jayden was given a blood transfusion at the scene and taken to the Royal Preston Hospital by ambulance under police escort. He had suffered serious head and chest injuries and was in cardiac arrest on arrival at the hospital.
After Jayden failed to respond to treatment efforts he was pronounced dead at 5.50pm. The cause of death was recorded as chest trauma.
An inquest into Jayden’s death, held on Friday, January 17 at Preston Coroner’s Court, heard that Mr Cleaver subsequently passed a roadside drug and alcohol test as well as a field impairment test and eyesight assessment.
When he was interviewed under caution by police he maintained that he had checked his surroundings before setting off in the seconds prior to the collision but that his view was affected by a wheelchair ramp inside the minibus.
Collision investigator PC Rachel Carbery explained that the vehicle had a “significant blind spot” which would have restricted Mr Cleaver’s view of Jayden. Police used a mannequin to reconstruct the collision as well as viewing footage of the crash caught on camera.
PC Carbery was asked if Mr Cleaver had entered the cul-de-sac “at excessive speed”.
She said: “From the CCTV that shows him entering New Rough Hey he has travelled in there and in my opinion it wasn’t fast. It would be of the speed I would expect.”
Dad-of-five Mr Cleaver, who no longer lives in New Rough Hey, passed his driving test in 2012.
He had worked for 247 Group Ltd, transporting children with special needs to and from their homes and Acorns Primary School in Preston.
Mr Cleaver did not attend the inquest but his solicitor passed on his condolences to Jayden’s family. Jayden’s grandmother Kathleen Yates replied: “I’m sorry but we don’t want it.”
Since Jayden’s death his parents and sister have not been able to return to their family home. Mrs Yates said the family’s “whole world has been ripped apart”.
The inquest heard that Jayden was a fan of Paw Patrol and Spiderman. He was particularly close to his grandma who said: “He was amazing; a nanna’s boy.”
Police launched a criminal investigation to consider whether Mr Cleaver had committed the offence of causing death by careless driving. The investigation later concluded there was no evidence any offences had been committed.
Sergeant Matt Davidson said: “We would need to show his standard of driving fell below what would have been expected. From our investigation that was just not found to be the case.”
Before Area Coroner Kate Bisset concluded the inquest she asked Jayden’s nanna if there was anything she wanted to say. “I can’t believe that k***head can get away with it,” Mrs Yates said.
Ms Bisset returned a conclusion of road traffic collision and said: “There are no circumstances that evidentially indicated that I need to refer this back to the Crown Prosecution Service.
“Jayden Paul Anthony Kearns died on March 26, 2023, at the Royal Preston Hospital as a result of injuries sustained in a road traffic collision at New Rough Hey.”

3 weeks agoLatest NewsComments Off on Fortnite Godzilla event explained: where to find Godzilla and how to defeat it – and how to become the monster yourself
FORTNITE is launching its Godzilla event today, January 17, as part of the Japanese-themed Chapter 6 Season 1, dubbed Demon Hunters.
In this latest collab, Godzilla is being added as a boss that players will have to defeat on the Battle Royale map.
Epic GamesIn some Fortnite matches, one player will get a chance to become the King of Monsters[/caption]
Epic GamesThe other players will have to find the legendary kaiju’s weak spots and try to defeat it[/caption]
Unlike your usual bosses that drop a Mythic weapon in Fortnite, Godzilla won’t be just an NPC waiting at a set location on the map.
Instead, in some matches, one player will get the chance to control the King of the Monsters, while the others team up to defeat it.
Here’s everything you need to know about Godzilla in Fortnite, including when and where the kaiju drops, how to become Godzilla and how to defeat it.
When does Godzilla come to Fortnite
The Godzilla event has dropped into Fortnite at 2pm GMT / 9am ET on January 17, 2025.
The event also adds Godzilla quests you can complete to earn rewards, including a couple of Godzilla skins, if you own the current Battle Pass.
How to become Godzilla in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1
First of all, keep in mind that the opportunity to become Godzilla during a match won’t be available every time.
On rare occasions, a portal, known as a Hollow Earth Rift Gate, will appear on the Battle Royale map for a limited time.
The first player who gets to the gate will become Godzilla and will be able to control the monster.
Fortnite Godzilla gameplay and abilities
If you get to the Hollow Earth Rift Gate first and use it, you will transform into the King of the Monsters and can start wreaking havoc on the map.
Godzilla has a much bigger health bar than other players and three unique abilities that you can use.
Roar lets you reveal the location of nearby players, while Might Stomp deals damage to the player you hit and sends other players flying.
Finally, Godzilla’s powerful Heat Ray deals massive damage to all buildings and players it hits.
Each ability comes with a different cooldown, so you need to use them wisely to defeat other players and claim victory for yourself.
Where to find Godzilla in Fortnite
As mentioned, there is no set location for Godzilla on the Battle Royale map, as the monster is actually one of the players.
Once the player transforms through the portal, they can go anywhere they want and unleash Godzilla’s destructive powers.
How to defeat Godzilla during the Titan Takedown event
Players who are not Godzilla will be tasked with defeating the King of the Monsters.
After dealing some damage to the legendary kaiju, Godzilla will have weak points revealed.
Targeting these weak spots will deal more damage and also drop Godzilla Fragments, which will heal you for 40HP each and give you three dashes.
If Godzilla is defeated, the player who dealt the most damage to the monster and is still alive will receive a Godzilla Medallion, which unlocks a recharging dash ability.
The special dash ability will last until the end of the current match.
The Godzilla slayer will also receive a Burst Quad Launcher, an explosive weapon of Exotic rarity.

3 weeks agoLatest NewsComments Off on What could a Trump presidency mean for Bitcoin?
BITCOIN is back in the spotlight as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office.
But how might a Trump presidency and a potential Elon Musk partnership impact bitcoin? Discover how global events influence bitcoin’s price and what this new political landscape could mean for crypto.
World events can significantly shake up the volatile cryptocurrency market
Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment, and you should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong. Take two to minutes to learn more.
Donald Trump’s return to the White House, whether you view it positively or negatively, injects unpredictability into global markets.
For Bitcoin, this could spark growing interest as people look into alternative assets, especially with Trump’s support for crypto and his connection to Elon Musk.
If you’re curious to learn more about bitcoin or the wider world of crypto, eToro’s Academy is a great starting block to learn the crypto investing basics.
But remember, Bitcoin is not a guaranteed win, it’s a high-risk, high-volatility asset. Read on to find out more.
What is crypto?
Crypto is a digital asset and decentralised form of money, meaning it’s not issued or directly controlled by an authority, like a central bank.
The first and most famous example is bitcoin (BTC), launched in 2009.
Unlike the cash in your wallet, bitcoin exists purely online as a digital token, and is created and stored on a secure online ledger called a blockchain.
Its appeal lies in the control it gives you, cutting out banks and middlemen.
But, that freedom comes with a trade-off – the unpredictable volatility of the crypto market.
Trump’s crypto-friendly stance
Trump’s earlier scepticism about crypto, viewing it as a rival to the U.S. dollar, seems to be a thing of the past.
Since his 2024 campaign, the President-elect has expressed more favourable views on Bitcoin, noticeably impacting the market.
His change of heart has sparked investor confidence, driving Bitcoin to record-breaking highs of $100,000 in December 2024.
Trump’s embrace of crypto, including talk of creating a “strategic bitcoin reserve,” has sparked hope for a more crypto-friendly U.S. stance under his new administration.
The Musk Factor
Another key factor behind bitcoin’s recent surge is the influence of Tesla owner Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a vocal supporter of crypto.
A remark from Musk, whether in favour or against, has been known to send prices rocketing or plummeting within minutes.
While Musk was initially wary of the crypto market, he has become a strong advocate in recent years, championing it as a tool to revolutionise finance and decentralise power.
Now, with Musk’s endorsement of Trump, crypto enthusiasts are feeling optimistic, believing this partnership could signal positive developments ahead.
A Trump-Musk Partnership
As Trump takes office again, eyes are on his relationship with Elon Musk, with the duo potentially shifting U.S. policy to favour crypto.
Trump’s pro-business, deregulatory stance could boost the crypto market, especially with his crypto-friendly pick, Paul Atkins, set to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
This may result in a more relaxed regulatory environment for crypto, encouraging sector growth.
Musk’s influence in tech and energy, along with his alignment with President Trump could further amplify support for Bitcoin.
A Trump-Musk collaboration might signal a future where crypto like bitcoin gains legitimacy, and where bitcoin becomes more integrated into economic strategies.
The ups and downs of Bitcoin
Being the first crypto on the scene, bitcoin has seen its share of dramatic highs and lows, riding the uncharted waters of a brand-new market.
Its first major milestone came when it broke the $1,000 barrier, grabbing the attention of early adopters.
Fast forward four years and bitcoin’s value skyrocketed tenfold, surpassing $10,000 in 2017.
But with steep highs come sharp falls, and world events often hit cryptos hard.
Take the early days of the pandemic, for example, when bitcoin’s value halved overnight.
Yet, in the years that followed, it reached new heights.
True to its nature, bitcoin is wildly volatile compared to traditional investments like stocks and shares or gold.
Crashes and comebacks are all par for the course.
Other crypto contenders
Bitcoin might be the biggest name in crypto, but it’s far from the only one. Here are some of the other big players:
Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest crypto, is renowned for its smart contracts—automated programs that run when specific conditions are met. It’s also a major player in the booming NFT market.
Cardano (ADA) stands out for its focus on sustainability and scalability, aiming to tackle issues like bitcoin’s energy-intensive operations.
Ripple (XRP) takes the lead in cross-border payments, offering some of the fastest and most affordable transactions, typically completing in just 3–5 seconds.
While each crypto has its unique strengths, bitcoin continues to set the standard for the market.
