TEMPLEGATE takes on Wednesday’s action at Kempton looking for winners.

THE OUTLAW (6.30 Kempton, nap)

There was plenty to like about the way he scooted in at Chelmsford 20 days ago. That was just his second handicap and he was always in control before pulling away from his rivals in the closing stages. A 6lb rise in the weights looks more than fair and it will be disappointing if Ralph Beckett’s colt doesn’t end up plying his trade in much stronger company than this.

OPERA BALLO (5.30 Kempton, nb)

Comes from Charlie Appleby who won both divisions of this maiden last season with smart types. This son of Ghaiyyath will be primed for this debut and Billy Loughnane will be keen to make the most of this opportunity for the boys in blue.

SULLIVAN BAY (8.30 Kempton, treble)

Has been in good form over hurdles and on the all-weather. He has not finished out of the frame this season and showed his best when scoring over this trip at Chelmsford in October. He’s a fair 6lb higher than that now and should be right there again.

TROPICAL RETREAT (2.17 Dundalk, Lucky 15)

He caught the eye with a debut fourth in a big field here on debut last month. He went off much too quickly and did well to keep going. Dropping back from six furlongs looks a wise move and he should have learned plenty from that run.

SIR Keir Starmer will have to wait at least another week to visit Donald Trump — as he heads to Brussels first.

The PM will meet the leaders of the EU 27 to discuss signing Britain up to a defence treaty with the bloc as well as meeting other European leaders this weekend.

The new President and the PM agreed to “meet soon” when they spoke on Sunday.

But No10 sources said last night no date had yet been set for a dash to DC.

Last night it was reported Lord Mandelson had “told friends” his controversial appointment to be the next UK Ambassador to the US had been given the greenlight by the Trump White House.

It came amid claims his relationship with China had been reported to the FBI by concerned American senators.

Meanwhile, Trump’s secretary of state warned Foreign Secretary David Lammy to beware China’s “malign influence”.

It came as the White House scrutinises Britain’s deal to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands.

Marco Rubio stressed the need for a “free and open Indo-Pacific that is secure and stable” in his first call with Mr Lammy.

MARRIED At First Sight star Adam Nightingale and Amy Kenyon have continue to fuel romance rumours during a luxury cruise together.

In recent months, the pair hinted that they were more than just friends after growing close after the show.

They have now headed off on a no expense spared cruise – just weeks after Adam told The Sun that he has chemistry with Amy.

Adam, who tied the knot with Polly Sellman on the E4 show, looked smitten as he holidayed with the blonde stunner.

They have been documenting their travels – with clips of them boarding a Virgin Voyage cruise ship and enjoying some fine dining.

In one photo, Adam’s hand was wrapped around Amy while sat at their dinner table.

Adam wore an unbutton brown shirt which showed off his heavily tattooed chest and Amy opted for a chic strappy black dress.

But the pair have insisted that they are “just friends”, despite the affectionate display.

Amy cleared up any confusion, writing on Instagram: “Just because I’ve been asked this 400 times. We are friends.

“We’d have no reason to deny if we were in a relationship. Sorry to disappoint you.”

Earlier this month, Adam addressed whether there are any ‘romance’ possibilities with Amy.

A MAFS insider told The Sun: “Polly and Adam really tried to make it work and weathered many storms during the experiment but at final vows, they realise their relationship has run its course and call it a day.

“It’s all quite emotional viewing after the rollercoaster journey they have been on, and fans will see how it all plays out tomorrow night.

In the meantime, rumours have been swirling surrounding a potential romance with Amy.

Adam exclusively told The Sun: “I don’t speak to Polly, we haven’t spoken in a long time.

“I’m not missing married life but I am missing everyone, we were one big family.

“I’m on the new reunion show in Feb, there’s a lot of drama but you’ll have to wait and see.

“I’m not dating, I’m single. I’m really close with all the MAFS lot.

“Me and Amy – who knows what will happen in the future, at the minute we’re just really good friends.

” I feel like there is chemistry between me and Amy. We do flirt a lot, there’s a lot of flirt banter.

“Whether something progresses, who knows.”

He added: “I like how it is at the minute, we’re friends that flirt.

“Who knows? Amy’s single. I think everyone is just too busy with their careers at the moment.”

Last month, the pair appeared inseparable at a string of events and were said to be sharing a hotel room.

Following a recent night out, Adam shared a photo to clear up any speculation.

He wrote: Appreciation post. People can think what they want.. but you can have a friend of the opposite sex. I now have a few…”

It comes after we exclusively revealed a Brookside star has filmed scenes for Corrie back in November.

Cast members including Jennifer and Suzanne Collins, Leon Lopez, Anne Marie Davis, Steven Cole and Stephen Fletcher were present for the surprise reunion.

In one snap shared to Leon’s social media, the gang can be seen posing for a selfie as they huddle around a table at Liverpool’s PINS social club.

The actor, who has since appeared in Eastenders, added the caption: “What a joy, catching up with these legends.” 

The post was later shared to a fan group dedicated to the soap and fans couldn’t believe their eyes at how the cast have barely aged a day since the show ended in 2003.

One wrote: “Aww the memories, the girls have hardly changed!”

While another gobsmacked fan posted: “Haven’t changed at all!”

A third commented: “Omg I love this.”

And another penned: “Give them a spin off show, the girls still look stunning.” 

Since the soap came to an end in November 2003, the cast members have gone on to forge successful careers for themselves.

Steven Cole, who played Leo Johnson, went on to star in hit HBO series Game Of Thrones.

While Leon Lopez, who played Jerome Johnson, went on to appear in Eastenders before carving out a successful career as a director on shows including Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Death in Paradise.

Jennifer Ellison has gone on to be a household name and has gone on to have a successful career as a model, actress and a dancer.

She has starred in numerous West End productions as well as appearing on reality shows including Dancing on Ice.

While Suzanne Collins recently signed up for a guest stint on Coronation Street.

The actresses, 62, will play a nursery worker where Abi Webster’s (Sally Carman-Duttine) young son Alfie attends.

Suzanne – who played Nikki Shadwick on Brookside – secretly filmed her scenes last November.

She starred in the iconic soap opera between 1996 – 2003.

Since her final scenes in the very last episode of Brookside aired in over two decades ago, Suzanne has gone on to appear in a string of TV and stage roles.

During her time on the show, her character was involved in a number of high profile storylines including date-rape, a stalking ordeal, as well as having to come to terms with her father and her sister being tragically killed.

Suzanne previously made her return to soaps with a guest appearance in Hollyoaks back in 2022.
