Willie Mullins reveals his Cheltenham Festival ‘banker’ as horse is labelled best Irish novice in 50 years
WILLIE MULLINS says Supreme hotpot Kopek Des Bordes is his Cheltenham Festival banker.
The champion trainer was ‘blown away’ when the five-year-old romped to victory at the Dublin Racing Festival on Sunday.
And he revealed Ted Walsh phoned him up the day after to wax lyrical about the horse, comparing him to the brilliant but ill-fated Irish novice Golden Cygnet.
Mullins said: “The performance blew my mind, to be honest with you, because it was a field with plenty of strength in depth.
“They were good horses and he just dominated them, Paul Townend said the horse nearly ran away with him three times in the race but he still had more than enough in the tank to pull away after the last.
“Ted Walsh rang me to say it was the best performance from a novice he had seen since Golden Cygnet, which is pretty huge for him to feel the need to pick up the phone and tell me that.

“He wouldn’t phone me very often, so I was pretty taken aback, I think it was a huge statement.”
Kopek Des Bordes is a top-price even-money for the Festival curtain raiser on March 11.
Mullins added: “He came out of the race at Leopardstown in great shape. If you were to ask me for our banker of the week it would have to be him, it’s hard to pick any holes in him.”
Mullins also confirmed that his other hugely exciting novice hurdler, Final Demand, would go for the Turners’ Novices Hurdle at the Festival.
He bolted up at the Dublin Racing Festival and the Albert Bartlett had been mooted as a possible target.
He said: “The Albert Bartlett wouldn’t be a race I’d want to go for with him. He’s only had two runs, and I’d like a horse who started earlier in the season for that one.
“I think it’s a tough race on horses for the rest of their career and I don’t think he needs that. I think two miles five on that track at Cheltenham in the Turners, up that hill, is very tough on a horse and that would be a big enough question to ask him at this stage.
“Looking at him, he looks a real chaser. He must be 17.2, he’s as strong as any horse I’ve had.
“Strength wise, he probably looks more like Florida Pearl, he’s so strong through the body whereas Galopin Des Champs is a very different type of horse, he’s much more evenly balanced through the body and a lighter framed individual.
“This fellow is a big unit and I’m happy to do that (the Turners) before going novice chasing next season.”

My boyfriend dates multiple women but I’m monogamous – people say I’m ‘dumb’ & he’s ‘toxic’, but we have 2 kids together
A MUM-OF-TWO has revealed why she lets her partner sleep with other women despite being monogamous herself.
Dazy and Chxpo have two children together, and despite having a family, Chxpo still goes out to meet new ladies.
The pair candidly opened up about their relationship to Love Don’t Judge, revealing they first met in a polyamorous relationship.
Chxpo said: “When I first met Dezy, I had my wife and two girlfriends. She was a part of the polyamorous relationship, but we had our own thing.
“Everybody broke up with each other and we were just together. Then she got pregnant, and I didn’t really have the time to entertain other women.”
“People think it’s weird that he dates other girls but I don’t date other guys,” said Dezy.
While he does admit his extramarital affairs have taken a backseat since they had kids, he still hits women up on social media and keeps in touch with girls he has dated.
Dezy revealed that she found it hard knowing he was still speaking to other women.
“It’s really hard. I guess I just say I’m okay because he is my number one; he is my baby father,” she explained.
“I do have to deal with it I don’t want to change him., but I do at the same time it.”
The mother of his children also finds his polyamorous side difficult as he often doesn’t tell her when he is seeing new women.
“I feel disrespected, sometimes I just find out and that to me I don’t like because I feel like when you’re in poly relationships you’re supposed to tell your partner everything,” she explained.
Dezy also says she gets furious when women post him as their boyfriend online.
” I never tricked her into thinking that things would change the way she wants them too,” he revealed but added it was ‘unfair’ for her to find out before he could tell her.
Despite warnings that she is dating a ‘red flag’ Dezy says she still loves Chxpo and won’t throw their relationship away.
The clip posted on YouTube soon went viral and people had plenty to say about the relationship.
One person wrote: “This isn’t poly – she’s just letting him cheat.”
Another commented: “It’s better to be single than waste your time being with a cheating partner that you know you cannot trust.”
“She had kids with him… she brought kids into this situation… she dislikes her situation and lives in denial, and she brought two new lives into the situation.” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “I feel like this isn’t even being polyamorous anymore he’s just putting that label on himself so he can sleep around with multiple women.”
“If she’s dumb enough to deal with that then she has no self-respect,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Stop making people your number 1 who consider you just another number. That’s not poly, just toxic.”

New £16million tourist destination inspired by New York’s Coney Island to open in underrated UK city
THE UK city home to the first Greggs is getting a huge new American-inspired food attraction.
Following on from its success in Manchester, Freight Island is set to open its second site in Newcastle.
The £16million tourist destination will transform a former Debenhams unit in Eldon Square to become the largest food, drink, and entertainment venue in a UK city centre.
Inspired by the likes of New York’s Coney Island and Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens, Newcastle‘s Freight Island will be a mixture of family-friendly events.
Located on the top floor of the defunct department store, the 60,000 square foot space will have a selection of food stalls and a new live music venue.
Called the Music Box, the new venue will host a variety of touring acts from art showcases, theatre shows, national festivals and DJ sets.
Raves for kids will also be part of its roster of events.
There will also be a restaurant onsite as well as communal seating areas underneath a retractable roof.
A specialist Aperitivo cocktail bar will have cocktails on tap as well as wines and beers.
The new city centre attraction is slated to open in the autumn, with an official date yet to be revealed.
Co-founder and managing director of Freight Island, Dan Morris, said: “This venue has been designed with scale, prominence, and long-term investment in mind.
“We hope to replicate the huge success of Freight Island in Manchester, where it has already contributed over £30 million to the local economy.
“This incredible venue in the heart of a very special city offers a truly exciting opportunity to create a cultural space that could become a focal point of Newcastle for years to come.”
Until Freight Island opens later this year, there are plenty of other activities and attractions to keep visitors entertained in the underrated UK city.
Newcastle is home to Grey Street, which is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most beautiful streets thanks to its Georgian architecture.
The road runs from the ornate Theatre Royal down towards the city’s iconic quayside where the famous Tyne and Millenium bridges are found.
Freight Island will have to compete for a spot on Newcastle’s culinary map, with Gordon Ramsay declaring the curry he had at Khai Khai was as good as some that he had tried in India.
The celebrity chef said: “I had one of the best curries in my entire life, that took me back to being in Mumbai and Rajasthan.”
From fine dining to fast food, Newcastle is home of British fast food staple Greggs, with the first branch opening in the city 80 years ago.
There are plenty of other sites in the city too, including the Baltic Centre for contemporary art.
The former flower mill hosts a range of variety of exhibitions, events and educational programmes.
If you’re in need of a laugh, there’s also the Stand comedy club where A-list performers have been spotted trying out new material.
And for families, there’s also The Hoppings – the largest funfair in Europe.
It’s been running since 1882 and sees more than 400 of the country’s biggest and brightest attractions arrive at the town moor for a week of fun each year.
What is it like to visit Newcastle?
THE SUN’S David Whitley recently visited Newcastle, here’s what he thought…
Newcastle, with its wild party scene, has a strong reputation as a city break for adults.
But how does the Toon pass muster with kids in tow?
There’s a slightly old-fashioned feel to the Discovery Museum — it largely focuses on the history of Newcastle and the River Tyne, which is more of interest to parents.
Understandably, the sections on the coal industry don’t grip the girls but the interactive segments are great.
They try on Norman helmets, pull on ropes to get cargo off a ship and attack the Science Maze section with gusto.
No one will claim Newcastle Castle is the most impressive in Britain but what makes it special is that it is in the city centre.
There’s no set tour to follow, which means the girls are free to scamper up staircases, down passageways and through heavy wooden doors.
They revel in being able to explore, having free run of the maze-like castle keep.
They find prison cells, a chapel and medieval-style toilets.
The star attraction, however, is the planetarium.
Here, a show about the constellations opens the girls’ eyes to the scale of the universe.
They’re wowed to discover a star that’s a million times bigger than the sun, and a supernova playing out across the overhead dome is dazzling.
The UK’s busiest train station is also undergoing a multi-billion development.
And here’s the first look at the London skyscraper set to be one of the tallest in Europe.
I was so excited when the first AI Aldi opened on my street – it’s much quicker as there’s NO tills or self-checkout
A SHOPPER has shared what the new ”AI” Aldi looks like inside – and the Shop&Go store has left people totally divided.
The Aldi Shop&Go concept store in Greenwich, London, opened in January 2022 and allows customers to complete their shop without scanning a single product or having to go through a checkout.
Before bargain-mad shoppers are allowed into the store, they need to download a free app called Aldi Shop&Go and register.
This only takes a few minutes, but you must add a payment card before you’re allowed inside to browse and do your shopping.
Once you have successfully managed to sign up, you hit a button which will generate a QR code – which you scan to open the barriers and go inside.
How does it work, you may wonder?
The store uses technology that monitors anything you pick up and your card is charged when you leave without you having to scan anything or visit a till.
You can put items back that you decide not to buy.
Aldi said if shoppers do find an error with their receipt they can request a refund through the app within 28 days of purchase.
One person who recently visited the store was Chris Sayer, who said he ”jumped at the chance of a quick shopping trip” the second he learnt a Shop&Go had opened up nearby.
Sharing what the concept store looked like inside, the customer explained there were ”no tills, no self-checkout and no staff”.
”There was literally one security guard at the door and that was it,” the Aldi fan said in a video posted on TikTok.
”At Aldi Shop&Go, you walk through these barriers into the supermarket, you can your credit or debit card.
”You pick up your shopping and an AI camera calculates each item you put into your bag – you can put it straight into your bag,” the excited shopper added.
”I was just absolutely gassed for this experience. It kind of feels like you’re shoplifting – but you know that money is gonna get taken from your card.”
‘Don’t like this concept’
While Chris – and others – may be a fan of the new bizarre way of shopping, the Aldi Shop&Go concept hasn’t necessarily become a major hit for many.
One person said: ”Worst idea ever, there [they’re] just putting people out of work.”
Another chimed in: ”I wouldn’t trust it, might take more out my bank, won’t be going Aldi anymore.”
Someone else wondered: ”What if you put it in ya bag and it scans but ya don’t want it so you put it back?”
”So they have complete access to your funds. No thanks,” another critic wrote.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you’ve ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you’ll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible – and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses “shelf-ready” packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
£10 pre-payment
Aldi has since introduced a £10 pre-payment for shoppers entering a checkout-free store in Greenwich, sparking frustration among customers.
A deposit is taken before entry and deducted from the final bill, but those spending less than £10 or leaving empty handed could wait days for a refund.
The ‘pre-authorisation’ charge applies to both app users and contactless shoppers at the Shop & Go store.
Customers tapping their card at the entrance or generating a QR code through the app are automatically charged £10 before being allowed inside.
A refund is issued if they spend less than £10 – but the timing depends on the customers’s bank or card provider.
Some customers have also reported being charged multiple times if they accidentally press the app button more than once before entering.
Aldi’s terms and conditions confirm that the deposit is required to verify payment cards and ensure smooth transactions, but customers are given little warning how much is being pre-authorised before payment is taken.
While Aldi was one of the first UK supermarkets to trial the checkout-free technology, the concept has struggled to take off.
Amazon initially planned 260 Just Walk Out stores in the UK but has since scaled back its ambitions, while Tesco operates just four hybrid check-out free GetGo stores.
Giles Hurley, chief executive of Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “This store utilises the very latest in retail technology, offering Aldi’s award-winning products and unbeatable prices to customers in a new and innovative way.”
Teen accused of murdering boy, 15, stabbed twice in heart with ‘hunting knife’ at school is pictured leaving court
A TEEN accused of murdering a 15-year-old boy who was stabbed in the heart with a “hunting knife” at school has been pictured leaving court.
Harvey Willgoose died following the horror at All Saints Catholic High School, in Sheffield, on Monday.
A 15-year-old boy at Sheffield Youth Court today charged with murder, possession of a bladed article and affray.
The court was told the alleged killer brought a hunting knife to school, which was used in the attack.
Harvey was knifed twice in the heart before he died, it was said.
The teen, who legally can’t be named, wore a grey tracksuit and sat with his head down throughout most of the hearing.
No pleas were entered and the teen, who legally can’t be named, was remanded into secure youth accommodation.
He will appear at Sheffield Crown Court on Thursday.
Harvey was making his way to lessons when he was stabbed three times in front of his terrified classmates.
Heroic teachers raced to perform emergency first aid as the school was placed on lockdown.
Harvey was rushed to hospital in a serious condition but tragically died soon after arriving.
Tributes have flooded in for the schoolboy from his devastated friends and family.
His family said: “We are utterly heartbroken at the loss of our beautiful boy, Harvey Goose.
“Our lives are devastated and will never be the same again. We have lost a beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew and most importantly, a best friend to all.
“Harvey will be forever known for being a caring, loving and funny young man.”
Mum Caroline and sister Sophie placed flowers and read emotional tributes as they visited the school on Tuesday.
Harvey was described as “one of the sweetest souls” by fellow pupils at All Saints’ Catholic School.
Flowers, balloons, an England flag and a card have been left at the gates.
Sheffield United, who Harvey supported, also paid tribute.
The club said: “All at Sheffield United were saddened to learn of the passing of Harvey, our deepest condolences are offered to his family and friends at this difficult time.
“We share the shock and distress of the community following this tragic incident and appreciate that discussions are underway with regards to tributes to remember Harvey.”
In an update, South Yorkshire Police warned communities “avoid online speculation” regarding the identity of the suspect.
A statement added: “At the heart of this devastation is a grieving family and they deserve respect and privacy during this difficult time.”
Will the Sheffield suspect be named?
By Holly Christodoulou, Digital Court Editor
ONCE proceedings become “active” – i.e. someone is charged – the police or the Crown Prosecution Service will name the suspect and release their age and address.
This will also appear on charge sheets and be heard in open court throughout the case.
However, with the Sheffield school stabbing, the boy is only aged 15.
This means that even from the point of a charge – proceedings being active – we have not been able to name him.
He is protected under section 49 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933.
This applies to any defendants who are aged under 18 and means their identity cannot be revealed.
Once they turn 18, unless any special reporting restrictions are placed by a judge, they can be named.
In some circumstances, when a person is found guilty or admits their crime, they may be unmasked in court regardless of their age.
This will sometimes happen pre-conviction too as in the case of Axel Rudakubana.
He was 17 at the point of his first court appearance but a judge lifted the reporting restriction as he was six days from his 18th birthday anyway.
PM Sir Keir Starmer said: “My heart goes out to the family and
loved ones of the boy, the staff and students at the school, and the
entire community of Sheffield.
“They are grieving the needless loss of a young life and the nation mourns with them.
“Our schools should be places of safety and learning, not violence and fear.
“Tonight a young boy should be returning to the love and safety of
his family.
“We stand and work together against the devastating consequences of knife crime, so no more families know this tragic loss.”
