Limato is set to test his powers over a mile for the first time in the Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on May 14.Unbeaten after his first five starts, Henry Candys stable star was then runner-up to Adaay at Haydock before chasing home champion sprinter Muhaarar in the inaugural Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot.He returned from a break to win on his seven-furlong debut in Doncasters Park Stakes in September and rounded off his season when finding only Make Believe too strong in the Prix de la Foret at Longchamp the following month. Candy feels his charge has matured over the winter and is keen to find out whether a mile with his compass at the highest level.He said: I think were probably going to go straight for the Lockinge. Hes very well at the moment and seems to have developed at last.Weve been keen to try a mile with him at some stage and we might as well find out sooner rather than later.The Wantage-based trainer has not even saddled a runner so far in 2016, but that will change in the coming days.All-weather racing is not really my game, I prefer the turf, said Candy.Well probably have our first runners at Nottingham next week.We have the same number as usual in training, around 65, and there are a few nice ones in there, so Im happy.Limato is one of 41 entries for the £350,000 Group One over the straight course at the Berkshire track.Richard Hannon has taken the last two renewals with Night Of Thunder and Olympic Glory and has three contenders this time around. They are headed by last years runner-up Toormore, dual Group Two scorer Estidhkaar and Moheet who was recently third in Qatar.Toormores owner Godolphin has three other entries, including Group One winner Belardo (Roger Varian) who ended last year with a close second to champion miler Solow in the Group One Queen Elizabeth II Stakes Sponsored by QIPCO at Ascot.Arabian Queen (David Elsworth) and Amazing Maria (David OMeara) both enjoyed fantastic campaigns in 2015.Arabian Queen lowered the colours of Golden Horn in the Group One Juddmonte International at York in August, while Amazing Maria followed up her Royal Ascot success in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes with Group One triumphs at Newmarket (QIPCO Falmouth Stakes) and Deauville (Prix Rothschild). The last filly or mare to win the Lockinge Stakes was Red Evie in 2007.The British-trained entries also include Royal Ascot scorers Time Test (Roger Charlton - Tercentenary Stakes) and Dutch Connection (Charlie Hills - Jersey Stakes), plus Group Two Celebration Mile victor Kodi Bear (Clive Cox) and Elm Park (Andrew Balding), winner of the Group One Racing Post Trophy in 2014.Other eye-catching entries include Group One Sussex Stakes runner-up Arod (Peter Chapple-Hyam) and international Group One scorers Mondialiste (David OMeara) and Euro Charline (Marco Botti), a recent second in the Group One Dubai Turf.Australian import Vancouver spearheads five entries for Irelands champion Flat trainer Aidan OBrien. The four-year-old carried all before him in four starts as a juvenile for Gai Waterhouse down under, culminating with a comfortable victory in the Group One Golden Slipper at Rosehill in March, 2015.Coolmore acquired a controlling stake shortly afterwards in a deal that reportedly valued the son of Medaglia DOro at more than £20million. OBrien has also engaged Group One scorer Dick Whittington, Cougar Mountain, The Happy Prince and one-time Derby hope Sir Isaac Newton.The six Irish-trained entries for Newburys top Flat race are completed by Endless Drama (Ger Lyons), who has not run since chasing home Gleneagles in last years Irish 2,000 Guineas.The French-trained entry is Maimara (Mikel Delzangles), a Group Three winner at Deauville in August.The scratchings deadline for the Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes, which is part of the British Champions Series, is at noon on Tuesday, April 26.

Josh Manson Jersey . Hey!" The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12. https://www.cheapducks.com/ . JOHNS, N. Ryan Kesler Jersey . Each of Houstons starters scored in double figures as the Rockets improved to 2-0 against the Spurs this season, with both victories coming on the road. They also moved within 3 1/2 games of San Antonio (22-7) for the lead the Southwest Division. Josh Mahura Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.Fantasy football players must now deal with an added challenge: the bye weeks. That means replacing top players in your lineups, starting with those from Seattle and Green Bay, where the Packers looked better on offense last week.There are always quality options if you worked waivers cleverly and were fortunate enough to avoid many significant injuries.---BIG BIRDSIf you are looking to replace some Packers such as Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson, Baltimore is a good place to start. The Ravens host the Raiders, who are allowing an NFL-worst 340 passing yards per game. Joe Flacco should have a minimum of two TD passes and a resurgent Mike Wallace already has three TD receptions. The Redskins are another passing game to target for production, as they face Cleveland, which has allowed 294.3 passing yards per game and seven TD receptions. Kirk Cousins may be available as a free agent or trade bargain. Wideout Jamison Crowder caught six balls in each of his first two games and has scored in consecutive weeks.---RUNNING WITH ROOKIESEddie Lacy is on a bye and many managers have been dealing with running back injuries and bad performances. But there is a pair of alternatives to consider in this weeks Lions-Bears matchup. Rookie Jordan Howard takes over as the starter for the Bears because of Jeremy Langfords ankle injury, but Langford was in danger of losing his grip on the starting job even before he was hurt. Howard had a 36-yard run last week and caught four passes for 47 yards, displaying his potential. Consider him a pretty good plug-in at your flex spot. Another first-year performer, Dwayne Washington, may be needed to play a larger role after Theo Riddick rushed for nine yards on 10 carries in Week 3. The Bears have allowed 142.7 rushing yards per game, so Washington could offer a nice return if you start him as your second running back or flex player.---KEEPING THE FAITHThree notable wide receivers, Julio Jones, Brandin Cooks and Kelvin Benjamin, all hurt their fantasy owners badly last week. Jones caught one pass, Cooks caught two balls for 13 yards, and Benjamin was shut out. When top WRs get shut down or are quiet in a given week, their teams often make a strong effort to get them the ball in the next game. Jones is a bit banged up, but scored in each of the first two weeks. Cooks faces the Chargers, who have surrendered 322 passing yards per game, and Benjamin draws the Falcons, who have allowed an NFL-high 10 TD passes.---PROVE IT AGAIN, PRYORTerrelle Pryor played the Slash role so well last week, Kordell Stewart might be envious. He caught eight passes for 144 yards, rushed for 21 yards and a TD, and even threw for 35 yards. Before we get too excited, though, lets remember that Pryor has bounced in and ouut of the league since 2011 and only fully remade himself into a WR this season.dddddddddddd Now that opponents have seen what he is suddenly capable of, he is going to get increased defensive attention. You should remain skeptical, and dont start Pryor over a more proven player yet. If he draws some Josh Norman in coverage this week, hell have to show he can truly earn his receiving numbers.---ARIZONA IMPLOSIONCarson Palmer threw four interceptions in what seemed like a very friendly matchup at Buffalo last week. This week he draws the Rams, who have one interception. Los Angeles has only allowed four TD passes, but Palmer does have a good amount of weapons and should be able to bounce back at home. Even though this is a divisional game, and those can be tough battles, Palmer should be good for at least a respectable fantasy performance.---TRADE TODD?After a pair of mediocre outings to open the season, Todd Gurley rushed for 85 yards and two TDs at Tampa Bay last week. Now he faces the Cardinals, who were torn up by LeSean McCoy for 110 yards and two TDs last week. Arizona is going to key heavily on Gurley and he may also get out of the game flow if the matchup becomes one-sided. There will be more disappointing performances ahead for Gurley, so trade him coming off the good game if you can before Sunday.---HIGH FLYING FALCONSFans saw the Atlanta RBs soar on Monday at New Orleans, as Devonta Freeman totaled over 200 yards from scrimmage and Tevin Coleman rushed for three TDs. The pairing may have arrived as the best 1-2 combo at RB in the league, but this weeks opponent, Carolina, has allowed only 90.3 rushing yards per game and three TDs. Temper expectations on both players this week and realize that it could be a different guy every week outpointing the other statistically. Last week was fun, but could prove to be quite the anomaly. With the state of RB in fantasy right now, though, reliability is not easy to come by and you can continue to start both guys for their considerable upside.---SCORCH THE SAINTSThe corollary to the Falcons success is fantasy players should be checking to face the Saints every week, as their defense once again looks beyond terrible (448.3 yards per game allowed), and was depleted as well last week. This week its San Diego, so while the run defense is the worst in the league and that bodes well for Melvin Gordon, you should start WRs Travis Benjamin and Tyrell Williams with confidence, and even consider TE Hunter Henry if you need help at the position.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com .
