Handstands wins a Scilly Isles thriller to give Ben Pauling a boost after The Jukebox Man’s injury

HANDSTANDS won a Scilly Isles humdinger at Sandown to give Ben Pauling a huge boost after a miserable week.

Sun man Ben revealed on Tuesday his exciting novice The Jukebox Man had suffered a season-ending injury on the gallops at home.

But consolations don’t come much better than this as his other rising star showed plenty of bottle to hang on gamely in a Grade 1 thriller.

Jockey Ben Jones could not contain his delight as the six-year-old fought off odds-on jolly Jango Baie by a nose, with the front two pulling a mile clear.

A chuffed Pauling grinned: “It’s been a s*** week with what happened to Jukebox, but he’s going to be fine and will be back.

“We are very fortunate to have two novices of the same calibre and this lad is a proper horse, we’ve always known it.

“It takes two horses to make a great race and credit to Nicky’s horse, he ran brilliantly and I think they’ll be two lovely horses going forwards.

“It was a ding-dong battle but I always felt like we were always just going to hold on, but that’s not to say I was relaxed, far from it!”

It might have been a nervy watch up the run-in for the trainer but it was an absolute cracker for the rest of us.

Handstands jumped brilliantly until the second last, when he was a little scruffy and Jango Baie looked like he was about to seize the race by the scruff of the neck.

But as soon as Jones asked him to find, he kept pulling out a little more and refused to give in on the stamina-sapping climb up the Sandown hill.

Pauling will avoid the temptation to run Handstands at Cheltenham next month, with the Mildmay Novice Chase over three miles at Aintree his big aim in the spring.

He added: “He fell first time out this season on ground that was too quick for him, but has not put a foot wrong since.

“I expected him to be exhausted after he won at Ffos Las a few weeks ago but he was fresher than he’d been at any stage of the season.

“We haven’t got this horse in at Cheltenham and Aintree has always been the plan. It doesn’t matter Jukebox is gone, that doesn’t mean we need to shuffle everything around. We’ll be sticking to the schedule with this horse.”

If Carlsberg did Saturday’s, it would have looked something like this for owner Tim Radford – who just so happens to be a huge Nottingham Forest fan.

He gave it the beans as he greeted his horse in the winner’s enclosure and said: “7-0 against Brighton, Chris Wood hat-trick and now this. What an unbelievable day.

“I’ve had lots of lovely horses over the years and Handstands is right up there. We won’t go to Cheltenham this year but we can start dreaming about the future.”

Dad-of-five Peter Andre opens up about vasectomy fears as he reveals wife Emily is ‘done’ with having kids

PETER Andre has revealed he “freaked out” over having a vasectomy as he rules out having more children.

The dad-of-five is adamant both he and wife Emily, 35, are done with having kids, nine months after the birth of their youngest, Arabella.

Though he remains partially open to getting the snip in the future, he said the idea fills him with dread in a new interview with the Netmums podcast.

Admitting he was naive before reading up on it, Peter, 51, assumed the minor op changed the sound of a man’s voice.

He said: “I then went and started asking people who’ve had it done, and they were like, ‘It’s horrific. It’s this, it’s that’.”

Pressed on whether or not he’d now go ahead and get it done, he continued: “Probably not now. Look, I’m not gonna lie, I’ve completely bottled it. It’s freaked me out.

“Then again, if it means that she doesn’t have to do anything to prevent it, I will do it.

“But it’s going to take some guts to do and I need to man up. I need to actually just go, you know what? Get over it and do it. But I’m just struggling a bit at the moment with the thought.”

Peter and Emily got married in 2015 and have Amelia, nine, Theo, seven, and Arabella.

The Mysterious Girl singer is also dad to Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, from his previous marriage to Katie Price.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun at last year’s Pride of Britain Awards, Peter gushed that his family is complete.

“She has honestly made us complete, she really has,” he said.

Emily added: “It’s the first time I’ve really left her at home…”

Peter chimed in, “it’s taken a lot to get her out,” as Emily continued: “I had a bit of a wobble, but we’re fine!”

When asked how they’ve been coping, Emily added: “It’s a juggle – but we’ve got helping hands [points at Junior and Princess].”

WHAT TO EXPECT IN A VASECTOMY

GP Janine David answers some questions about the proceedure . . . 

WHAT IS A VASECTOMY? The simple surgery, usually done at your GPs’ practice, involves removing a 1-2cm section of the tube that carries sperm and ejaculatory fluids from the testes to the “outside world”.

DOES IT HURT? The anaesthetic stings, but just for seconds.

We need to locate the tube (called vas deferens) and getting hold of it can be uncomfortable, but not for very long.

The whole procedure takes about 20 minutes.

IS IT EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY? No. You’ll be asked for a semen sample 16 weeks after surgery to make sure it’s clear of sperm.

Be sure to use extra protection until you get a clear result.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER? About two weeks, but you’ll feel much better after a few days.

The stitches take six weeks to dissolve and GPs recommend waiting seven days before having sex.

There may be some blood in your ejaculation – it’s normal.

WILL MY SEX LIFE BE AFFECTED? The op has no effect on testosterone or sex life.

People often find sex better, as there’s no pregnancy worry.

The failure rate is one in 2,000 or less.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS? The same as any surgery with local anaesthetic.

You may experience bruising, bleeding and swelling.

There is a small chance of infection or chronic pain.

Brilliant Galopin Des Champs completes Irish Gold Cup hat-trick and now 4-6 for Cheltenham Festival

YOU can’t gift Galopin an easy lead and expect to get away with it at Leopardstown.

Willie Mullins’ champ dominated from start to finish as he completed an Irish Gold Cup hat-trick – and he’ll now try to repeat that stunning feat at Cheltenham.

There are very few chinks in Galopin Des Champs armour and he is now a perfect seven from seven over fences at his beloved Leopardstown.

But he wasn’t made to work hard to get the lead early doors and the writing was on the wall as Paul Townend started to increase the tempo running to two out.

They were snapping at his heels at the last but, as he has done six times before, he powered clear again on the run-in to the delight of the crowd.

As was the case at Christmas in the Savills Chase, his younger stablemate Fact To File weakened after the last and will surely now be aimed at the Ryanair Chase next month.

But the Gold Cup is Galopin’s to lose, and you’ll do well to find any of the 4-6 left with the bookies for the big one at the Fez.

Mullins said: “Paul has huge faith in him, he just wanted to jump out and keep it simple. He jumped and galloped for three miles and didn’t look like he was stopping.

“He probably is the best we’ve ever had. It will be hard to beat Hurricane Fly’s record, but this is definitely the best chaser we’ve ever had.

“He goes out from the front and takes races by the scruff of the neck which is probably why he is so popular with the crowd.”

Galopin’s near five-length win completed a Grade 1 hat-trick on day one of the Dublin Racing Festival for his trainer.

Majborough booked his ticket to the Arkle when winning the Irish Arkle, for all his jumping was iffy at best, and the impressive In Demand streaked clear to bag the Nathaniel Lacy Hurdle.

Louise Thompson praised by fans as she reveals stoma bag while modelling gym gear

LOUISE Thompson has been praised by fans after revealing her stoma bag while modelling gym gear.

Made In Chelsea star Louise, 34, looked incredible as she posed in activewear, revealing it was the first time that she felt confident enough to wear the garments in a while.

Louise has been open about her health battles after nearly losing her life during the birth of her son Leo in 2021, which left her with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Last April, she shared with her followers that she had been fitted with a stoma bag following years of living with ulcerative colitis – which causes the colon and rectum to become inflamed.

Now on the road to recovery, she struck a series of poses in the stylish outfits, including a figure-hugging grey leotard that accentuated her frame.

In another snap, she opted for a country-chic look, pairing a plaid mini skirt with a cosy top while posing alongside her son.

Louise wrote in her caption: “My weekly outfit round up. Which is your favourite look from this past week dressing like it was my #bestdayonearth ? 1-16?

“Would you wear any of them? I feel like a leotard is a real commitment to the cause – it’s been quite divisive over on my stories, lots of questions around going to the loo?

“I love them because they’re so easy to style into a really strong outfit and they act like a bit of a ‘thermal’ layer.

“From a confidence perspective it’s felt really nice to be able to get back into activewear and to have put on a bit of weight (and muscle).

“I was flat as a pancake for a month or so after my recent surgery so have leant towards wearing lots of looser fitting clothes.

“But my bum has somehow ballooned, we were all joking I’d had a BBL this week (quite a controversial topic), but i put it down to all the running up and down the stairs because I never sit still as a parent to a rambunctious 3 year old.

“My personality also makes it particularly hard to be ‘still’.

“How has your week been? Mine has been really split.

“Started the week feeling totally and utterly euphoric and decided that I was going to ‘follow the fun’ in evuehting I did this week and it was a really wonderful attitude to have… but by the end of the week (probably having solo patented whilst Ryan is away whilst jiggling some bug work changes).

“I’ve slightly felt like I’m crawling through treacle. I treated myself to a 20 min nap yesterday and it was golden….syrupz.

“Ryan’s back today. I can’t wait to surprise him with a sign saying ‘welcome back to prison’.

“Any fashion questions pop below and I’ll get back to you rn. L x.”

Louise Thompson's Full Health Battle

THE Made in Chelsea alumni has always spoken candidly about her health - yet what does she suffer from?

Ulcerative Colitis

Louise was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis before becoming a mum.

It is a condition which causes the colon and rectum to become inflamed – with her new stoma bag “saving her life” after the debilitating battle

PTSD

The Pocket sportswear founder was frank when she opened up on her post-natal birth struggles.

She told how she had been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in late 2022 following the birth of her son Leo.

It came after she nearly died twice in childbirth in December 2021.

Incurable Lupus

Back in 2022, Louise was diagnosed with incurable Lupus.

The autoimmune disease that occurs when your body’s immune system attacks your tissues and organs.

Blood loss

In February 2024, it was revealed that she had once again been admitted to the hospital.

In the aftermath, Louise told how she had “survived a second time” after losing three litres of blood.

It came after the brave star haemorrhaged at home.

In the caption along with her stoma bad reveal, she wrote last year: “How do I disclose this sort of news?

“It’s not exactly exciting like a big pregnancy or gender reveal announcement!

“Hey look I’m having a boy… Hey, look I’ve got a stoma! So I guess I’ll just stand here. Proud in stature. With my new friend. Le bum bag
that represents life. And hopefully a better one.

“Isn’t it bizarre that this little grey pouch is the price I pay for good health!

“I say good riddance to that nasty menacing colon! Please be kind.”

In her video, the influencer lifted her top to reveal the pouch, which she told fans “saved my life”.

AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE

Last February, fans were left fearing for her health after her fiancé Ryan Libbey revealed she was back in hospital.

He did not disclose the reason at the time.

Isn’t it bizarre that this little grey pouch is the price I pay for good health!

Louise ThompsonTV Personality

The personal trainer wrote in an Instagram Story: “Louise has been in hospital for 12 days now. We don’t know when she will be ready to come home yet.

“But thank you to everyone who has sent messages of love and support to our family. It does help.”

Eight Common Symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), where the immune system mistakes 'good' bacteria inside the colon as a threat and attacks, causing the colon to become inflamed.

Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and in some cases, you may not have any symptoms. 

Eight common symptoms:

  • Abdominal pain
  • Increased abdominal sounds
  • Bloody stools
  • Diarrhoea
  • Fever
  • Rectal pain
  • Weight loss
  • Malnutrition

It is unknown why the immune system can behave in this way, but it is thought to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Medication can be taken to relieve symptoms and prevent them from returning.

These include aminosalicylates, corticosteroids and immunosuppressants.

In more serious cases, options exist for some people is to have colon removal surgery.

Your doctor would guide you on the best course of action to treat an overactive immune system.

Ipswich 1 Southampton 2: Saints grab first win since November 2 but stay bottom after relegation six-pointer

IT IS impossible, surely, that Southampton will dig themselves out of trouble.

But at the very least, having secured only their second win of the season and opening three points under new boss Ivan Juric, Saints will not be setting an unwanted Premier League record this season.

Paul Onuachu stunned Ipswich by grabbing an unlikely 87th minute winner after Ipswich striker Liam Delap cancelled out Joe Aribo’s opening goal.

As you would expect, Southampton’s fans – having witnessed six successive top-flight losses – were in jubilant mood at the end while Michael Oliver’s final whistle was met with jeers from the home crowd.

This means Saints on nine points so are still some way off safety.

But over the next few weeks, however bad they might be – and they really are not very good – Southampton will overtake Derby’s embarrassing, record-low tally of 11 points from the 2007-08 season.

In what has been a terrible season, you can understand why many believed Southampton were going to be crowned worst of the worst.

As for Ipswich, this was a really poor result.

And, they could not end up getting a complex against south coast clubs.

They were leading Bournemouth 1-0 here in December until the 87th minute and they ended up losing 2-1.

But this defeat was even worse as it was against a side Ipswich really needed to beat if they were to have realistic hopes of staying up. McKenna’s team could still do it, but it will not be easy.

The problem is that despite their possession, Ipswich have little goal threat under than £20million summer signing Delap and while he has struck nine times, he cannot do everything on his own.

The other problem is that Ipswich have bungling keeper Aro Muric in goal for the next month due to an injury to Christian Walton.

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS

Muric could have done better for both goals in what was a hugely frustrating day for home boss Kieran McKenna with Ipswich having failed to win any of their last five Premier League games.

Saints took the lead when Mateus Fernandes’ cross took a heavy deflection off home defender Jacob Greaves and it fell perfectly for Aribo. He had arrived inside the area completely unchallenged, something which will infuriate Ipswich manager McKenna.

Aribo’s volley took a bounce before Muric made a terrible attempt to keep the ball out and the Kosovan gave the impression he was trying to usher it into the net.

Delap, having wasted one chance to equalise, swept the ball past Aaron Ramsdale after overcoming a feeble challenge from Southampton centre-half Jan Bednarke after a superbly-weighted through ball by Nathan Broadhead.

Saints boss Juric replaced Taylor Harwood-Bells at the break for Jack Stephens but the club skipper – who had not played for nearly two months due to suspension and injury – was on the pitch for just 11 minutes before needing to be replaced by Will Smallbone due to a muscle injury.

Ipswich will be disappointed at not testing Ramsdale more in the second half although when they did, Delap fired straight at the England keeper’s feet.

And at the end, disaster struck for the Tractor Boys when Muric could only parry a shot from Kamaldeen Sulemana into the path of Onuachu who was never going to miss.

At the end, Southampton’s fans sang “can we play you every week” and little wonder.
