Golden Ace won the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle, falling once more to Constitution Hill, who had previously won the event.
Constitution Hill lost three of his previous ten contests, losing three of them.
After just a minute, the horse came down at the second hurdle, leading the jump race at Newcastle’s largest attendance in 20 years, before The New Lion, a previous unbeaten horse, also fell when the lead.
Nemean Lion finished third and placed, followed by Anzadam, who had previously been unbeaten.
Former champion jockey AP McCoy told ITV Sport, “Constitution Hill did the same thing as he has twice before, stood off a mile, and hit the middle of the hurdle.”
The 2023 Champion Hurdle hero, who was previously unbeaten, also had some serious falls in Cheltenham and Aintree.
Who could possibly believe Constitution Hill falling again, said Golden Ace trainer Jeremy Scott? “I’m glad everyone is up okay.
“We must be everyone’s nemesis,” we say! We defeated Anzadam whatever because of her excellent jumping today. There is still room for improvement, so I still believe we’re not quite there.
Other famous revellers will continue to party on the nightclub floor as Annabel’s, a prestigious London club, announces to its employees that Andrew and his ex-wife Fergie are no longer welcome.

Annabel’s has ruled as London’s most exclusive nightclub for 62 years. A classy yet comfortable setting where famous people squabble with lords, ladies, politicians, and even royalty.
Reputedly, it’s the only nightclub where the late Queen Elizabeth II was known to have set foot. She first popped in for cocktails once in 1967. Then she joined the 70th birthday celebration of her Lady of the Bedchamber, Virginia Ogilvy, in 2003 – enjoying a gin martini with no lemon.
Membership was by invitation only when Annabel’s opened its sturdy doors back in June 1963. But it has now firmly closed them to the two black sheep of high society – Andrew Mountbatten -Windsor and his ex wife Sarah Ferguson.
Indeed, staff have allegedly been told the pair – disgraced by their association with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein – should no longer be allowed inside.
Their banishment will make their daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, who are paying members, feel more awkward than before, and they are welcome to come and go as they pleased. The £3,750-a-year club in the heart of Mayfair can be changed.
However, Annabel’s is known for never taking any prisoners, having moved to a Grade I listed Georgian building just two doors from its original Mayfair residence in Berkeley Square in 2018 after a multi-million dollar renovation.
Paul McCartney and The Beatles were once famously refused entry for not wearing shoes and Mick Jagger had to borrow a doorman’s tie before he was admitted. Queen of luxury journalism Lucia van der Post wrote of Annabel’s: “Princes, minor royals, cabinet ministers, young bucks, exiled dictators, trust fund babes, movers & shakers around town soon began to find their way to what has to be the smartest basement in the world.”
Ironically, the club was referred to as a great leveller by the couple’s friend David Wynne-Morgan, who once wrote: “Celebrities in every field and age group pack it every night because they are members of Annabel’s.”
And for more than six decades, the rich, famous and very well-to-do have kept tottering in. Princess Diana, Frank SInatra, Diana Ross and to come more up to date, the likes of Harry Styles, Lady Gaga and Kate Moss have all enjoyed the hospitality of Annabel’s.
You lived through it as if it never was going to end, and Annabel’s was the absolute hub, said Lady Ashcombe, a member of the social elite that predominated the club in its early days. Former editor-in-chief of Vogue, Anna Wintour, the ultimate queen of glamour, once said of its clientele: “Hairdressers were equally as well known as duchesses, and Annabel’s was where all those people went.”
After her marriage to the then Prince Charles, Princess Diana frequently visited Annabel’s and regarded Lady Annabel as a “mother figure” who had later been married to the Goldsmith family.
Diana adored the club’s strict no-photo policy, which gave her a rare amount of privacy. Elizabeth Taylor, another outstanding beauty, was a regular visitor. Annabel’s has frequently been photographed by Joan Collins, and rumors claim that the club was inspired by Jackie Collins’ sister’s 1969 novel The Stud. Some scenes from the 1978 film adaptation were shot there, including one starring Joan.
He may no longer be a clubbing man, back when he was 28, Prince William didn’t leave the club until 1.30am – knowing a few hours later he’d be escorting his then fiancee Kate Middleton to lunch with the Queen.
Jemima Khan, the daughter of Kate Moss and Lady Annabel, stunned the wealthy clientele in 2006 when the two women shared a 60-second kiss after Philip Green, the then-BHS boss, paid £60, 000 for a “Kiss Me Kate” lot in a celebrity auction.
When Lady Gaga performed an intimate performance at the club in 2011 for a crowd of about 150 people, Stephen Fry was unmistakably impressed. Fantastic surprise, he tweeted. Annabel’s is where Lady Gaga set. She was incredible. What voice . The best possible acoustic set is available.
Sir Rod Steward and his wife Penny Lancaster are frequent visitors and were among the numerous VIP guests, including Andrea Bocelli, Anna Wintour, and Naomi Campbell, who attended the club’s 60th celebration in June 2023.
However, it is difficult to imagine that, in light of Fergie’s current impropriety, it was considered, to be true, that when she and Princess Diana went to Annabel’s dressed as policewomen, with the intention of gatecrashing the former Prince Andrew’s stag party, the venue moved, only for this act to be moved.

As things get closer to the show’s final act, Lewis Cope and Katya Jones both appear to be taking the competition seriously.

Lewis Cope and Katya Jones, both of whom were taking breaks during rehearsals for Strictly Come Dancing, were caught tussling.
The duo have been practising their Rumba ahead of the live show tonight, which they will perform to Harry Styles’ hit Falling. They were seen locked in the intense conversation as they took a break from the studio, with an onlooker claiming the discussion looked serious.
The conversation likely will turn to the following performance because Lewis and Katya are both known for pushing themselves hard. While Katya spoke to Lewis, the pair appeared to be having a heated discussion. Lewis was seated with his arms crossed as the conversation progressed.
The pair – who are favourites to reach the finale of the season – definitely had something important to talk about whatever the topic. The Emmerdale star and his Strictly pro partner scored a perfect 40 when they performed at the Blackpool Ballroom last weekend with their Charleston to I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor.
James Jordan, a former Strictly star, even went as far as to call it one of the bands greatest performances ever. He claimed that he even thinks Lewis is more talented than some of the dancers competing in the popular dance series right now.
He claimed Lewis performed “80%” of the moves that the male pros couldn’t. He claimed that “he has full training in dance.” Without having f*ing much dance training, you can’t go out and do what he’s doing.
People who have no dance training are s**t in comparison because it would make our profession appear to be very simple, and it’s not really simple.
In his later years of dancing, Lewis joined the street dance group Ruff Diamond, which provided him with a background. The crew also won numerous national dance competitions, including the 2013 Sky’s Got To Dance final. James continued, “Truly, if you watch that routine back from last week, he was as good as, if not better, than Katya.
“And I can honestly say that some of the things he did were impossible for me because we weren’t trained in that,” said one of the boy pros on the show. “On the other hand, I would put my bottom dollar on some of the things he did.”
We’ve never done that before,” they say. I’d break my spine if I attempted to do some of what he was doing.
I adore it. I enjoy his motion pictures. He was amazing, in my opinion. In my opinion, he performed both of his couples’ wedding dances on Strictly and the one from last week. It was exceptional. However, because he is dance-trained, that is all.
Lewis and Katya are competing for the Glitterball trophy against the other remaining contestants, including EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal, former England footballer Karen Carney, Love Island winner Amber Davies, actress Alex Kingston and influencer George Clarke.

Prince Harry might find himself back in the same country as his separated father, King Charles, next year, but it seems like a possible reunion won’t be possible.
After a long-awaited reunion, Prince Harry is still to have a follow-up face-to-face meeting with his father, King Charles. The pair, who are known to have a rocky relationship, had their first meet-up in 18 months earlier this year, when Harry stopped by Clarence House for tea with his dad while on a trip to the UK.
It came after Harry said his father was no longer talking to him amid his court case against the UK Home Office over his security arrangements while in the UK, which he ultimately lost. But several months on from their 55-minute meeting at Clarence House, many are wondering when their next reunion could be. And it appears that in the first half of next year, they could be in the same country again.

Reports have suggested that King Charles and Queen Camilla could be embarking on a state visit to the USA, the same country where Harry resides with his wife Meghan and children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who have barely seen their grandfather.
But despite the potential close proximity, royal expert Jennie Bond says it’s unlikely a meet-up during this trip would be on the cards. The former BBC royal correspondent told the Mirror : “State visits are incredibly busy. The schedule is worked out months in advance and is tightly packed with carefully curated engagements designed to enhance bilateral relations.
“The King wouldn’t want to fly across the entire country to visit Harry and his family in California, and there is very little downtime,” the King said.
According to sources in both Washington, DC and London, the state visit’s plans allegedly include a trip to the White House in late April for a number of historic occasions, with the condition that Charles’ health permits him to travel.
The Trump administration’s “major moment” is being planned in the lead-up to the July 4 Independence Day celebrations, according to The Sun, in order to commemorate the 250-year anniversary of the founding of the United States.
Jennie thinks Charles would still be adamant about seeing his grandchildren despite the busy schedule. He has only occasionally met Archie and Lilibet once.
She continued, “I’m sure Charles would enjoy having his grandchildren again, and I suppose it’s conceivable that the Sussexes could fly to New York or wherever the King and Queen are based for a brief reunion.”
“But visits like this are about as official as they can be, and they aren’t really meant to repair strained family relationships.” The purpose of the visit would undoubtedly be obscured by a meeting.
So I believe there is a very good chance that they will meet in the States. Harry and company will likely be urged to maintain a low profile throughout the trip, which is much more likely.
The monarch welcomed the US President and First Lady to the UK on a historic visit just months after Trump was invited for an unprecedented second visit after being hosted by the late Queen Elizabeth in 2019.
Trump began his state visit in Windsor in September, where he was met by the Prince and Princess of Wales, before being treated to a flypast and an inspection of the guards alongside the King.
After the speeches by Charles and Trump, the US president was treated to a state banquet held inside Windsor Castle. Mr. Trump described receiving a second state visit at the banquet as the “highest honor” of his life.
With victory in the sprint race at the Qatar Grand Prix, Oscar Piastri extended Lando Norris’ championship lead by two points to two.
The Australian led a smooth race from beginning to end, with Norris coming home behind Mercedes’ George Russell and the top three finishing in the order they entered.
Max Verstappen of Red Bull moved up from sixth place in the standings, allowing Norris to take the championship lead by one point.
Verstappen and Piastri are now tied for first place in the standings for Sunday’s grand prix by 25 points.
He will be the champion if Norris wins the grand prix. The final race in Abu Dhabi on Saturday will be held if either Verstappen or Piastri wins.
Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda, team-mates, were separated at the start as they passed Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin, who had placed fourth on the grid for his uncompetitive car. The Japanese then let the Dutchman pass.
Verstappen struggled with Norris for the first few laps, even making an attempt to overtake the Briton at one point, but he eventually started dropping back and complaining about bouncing and jumping from his car.
The only overtaking move in the points positions was made after the first three corners when Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli capitalized on Alonso’s running wide out of the final corner at the end of lap 12 to pass down Turn One at the start of the following lap.
For exceeding track limits too many times, leaving both Tsunoda and Antonelli in the same fifth and sixth positions, penalties wereimposed for five seconds.
Aston Martin’s seventh-place Alonso scored two important points, while Carlos Sainz of Williams’ eighth-placedd the final score.

Love Island star Leah Taylor may not have found love in the villa during her time on the dating show, but it now looks as though she has come up smelling of roses if her new romance is anything to go by. The 29 year old reality TV star appears to be dating England and Aston Villa footballer Morgan Rogers.
Following a string of dates, Leah took the plunge and went Instagram official with the 23 year old sportsman during the romantic break in the Cotswolds. The TV star shared a number of images of their romantic retreat with fans, with one showing Morgan.
It seems to be “early days,” but things are definitely improving, according to a source.
They told The Sun: “It’s early days but they’re already getting close. They’ve been on a few dates and it’s going really well but it’s nothing serious yet.” The source added: “He wants to keep it under wraps, but Leah just couldn’t help herself. She has already posted a pic of Morgan from behind on Instagram — she’s due a bit of luck in love after her nightmare on Love Island.”
The couple had been staying at Cowley Manor Hotel, which is near Cheltenham, and she captioned her post saying: “I like it here.” Leah, who is now an influencer, is friends with Love Island veteran Maura Higgins. During her time on the ITV show, Leah was coupled with Montel McKenzie but their relationship quickly came to an end on the outside world, amid allegations he had cheated.
She vowed in a conversation with the Daily Mail that her previous encounters had not helped her in her quest for love with the right man. She stated to the publication, “I am fully healed and ready to date once more.” I’m interested in meeting people.
She continued, “I want the next man I’m with to be my husband and that is a lot of pressure because I don’t have the time for a relationship right now, and I’m also so fussy.” She continued, “I’m not in a hurry, but I’m open to the possibility of finding someone new,” but she wants to make sure they take her relationship seriously because she doesn’t want to waste her time.
Leah continued, “I’m dating with more intention when I’m dating now.” I think I would be more receptive to moving in now if I found the right person. I’ll begin making it known. She claimed that when she split from Montel, he had displayed the same flirtatious traits in the villa as he had on the outside.

Prior to dating Morgan, she was questioned about whether she would consider making a comeback on Love Island All Stars, which she did not know whether or not she would be able to afford to move back to the villa.
