Sky Sports News HQs Alex Hammond looks ahead to this weekends action and hopes the in-form Charlie Appleby can strike again. Braden Smith Jersey . What was your highlight from Newmarkets July Meeting and how did you rate Limatos victory in the big one?I think Limato was my highlight, not least because I tipped and backed him. Henry Candys horses have been hitting the crossbar recently, but despite his lack of numerical success this season, he is still the man for the big occasion and I was confident that Limato could win on his drop back to sprinting. I think the horse is probably versatile regarding trip though and a step back up to a mile, or even a drop to five furlongs wouldnt put me off supporting him in the future. He doesnt actually look like a typical sprinter as hes small and lean, but he has a serious engine and it was a top-class performance. He does show signs of some temperament, illustrated to some extent by the way he drifted across the track, but if they can keep a lid on him the world is his oyster on his favoured fast ground.Did anything go in your notebook from last weekends high-class action at Newmarket, York and Ascot?It was tough to keep across all the racing, but I was impressed by the winning performance of Dabyah in the opening race of Newmarkets card on Saturday. John Gosdens filly was sent off favourite to win this seven-furlong maiden fillies event on her debut and she won easily under Frankie Dettori.This is a race that historically is worth noting as some smart fillies have contested it in the past and this filly should be no exception. She will be targeted at better races now and shes a 25/1 shot with Sky Bet for next years 1000 Guineas. It will be interesting to watch her progress.Boyntons win in a decent Superlative Stakes at the same track was also smart. The win took him to two wins from two and he is now 25/1 with Sky Bet for next years 2000 Guineas. Thats a long way off though and the National Stakes in Ireland was named by trainer Charlie Appleby as a possible target next. His debut win at Goodwood has worked out well.The horse he beat that day was the Richard Hannon-trained Muthawatheb who subsequently beat Tis Marvellous at Newbury. That horse has gone on to win his maiden in some style at Windsor to add further depth to the form. He has a slightly awkward way of running, but at the moment hes displaying plenty of ability and with the Godolphin team hitting their stride (particularly Applebys yard) hes one to keep on the right side of.Is there a way to get Ribblesdale star Even Song beaten in Saturdays Darley Irish Oaks? How do you rate the chances of the supplemented Newmarket pair, Ajman Princess and Architecture?Its good to see Hugo Palmer and Roger Varian add the two fillies to Saturdays race to take on the hot favourite and it was interesting to hear Varian say his filly (Ajman Princess) has improved tons since her second place in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot. She was beaten a length and a half by Even Song that day and it was her first run outside maiden company, so it was pleasing to see her hold her own in better company. She also wore a hood for the first time that day and given any improvement she should be more of a threat to the hot favourite. At 6/1 with Sky Bet, she is considerably a more attractive betting proposition than the short-priced favourite and it might be worth taking a chance on her this weekend.Architecture is also currently a 6/1 shot but the Oaks runner up needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort in the Ribblesdale. She was a little on her toes before the Royal Ascot race and ran below-par, but if you can ignore that latest effort she would be well fancied to given Even Song a run for her money. Hugo Palmer felt the race wasnt run to suit at Ascot and it may have come too soon after her excellent effort in the Oaks.Mick Channons Harlequeen is 14s and has her first run since her superb third place in the Oaks at Epsom. Im just slightly concerned that 12 furlongs stretches her a bit as her stamina appeared to be running out at Epsom, but at the price she could be one for each-way punters once again.Another to note on that score is Hugo Palmers other runner, We Are Ninety. She wasnt unfancied in the Ribblesdale by those in the know and actually ran better than Architecture in finishing sixth. Shes a solid yardstick and at 25/1 could be a fun each-way investment.So, to answer the question, Im not sure if anything can beat Even Song, but at the price I wouldnt touch her with a bargepole. So, Ill be backing Ajman Princess to win with a small each-way investment on We Are Ninety as that price looks too good to miss!Anything else this weekend stand out as a possible bet?Well, I do enjoy my jumps racing and Market Rasen stages some valuable action this weekend. The day is always well supported and therefore provides us with some cracking betting opportunities.The Betfred Summer Plate is the feature, its a Listed handicap chase and conditions look perfect in the run up to this 2m 5f contest with the ground described as good.Its wide-open, but there does look an opportunity to find some each-way value. If Ballynagour runs then there will be a chunk of the field out of the handicap and that would include one of the JP McManus-owned runners, Easy Street, who is joint-favourite with the David Pipe trained top-weight at 7/1. Easy Street unseated his rider at this track last time out when sent off the well-backed favourite. That was his only blip in three starts over fences with this novice winning his first two over the larger obstacles. It wouldnt be ideal to run almost half a stone wrong at the weights, so maybe Jonjo ONeill will claim off him [ie use a conditional rider] if the top weight stands his ground.Theinval is one to consider off his current mark for Nicky Henderson. He got off the mark over fences in a beginners chase at Uttoxeter in May and he is well handicapped over fences in comparison to his hurdle rating. Hes an 8/1 shot.Jonjo ONeills 2014 winner Its A Gimme is one to keep on the right side of despite that being his last visit to a winners enclosure. He ran in the race last year without making an impression, but has dropped further down the weights and is now only 6lb higher than for his win two years ago.He returned to action at Uttoxeter last month with a promising display, looking in need of the run, and that should have helped knocked some of the rust off prior to his run on Saturday.Dan and Harry Skelton team up with Long House Hall who has just had the three starts over fences. He ran an encouraging race at Uttoxeter last time out, staying on well having been given plenty to do. He remains off the same mark (143) and this years Coral Cup runner-up shows all the signs of transferring his hurdles ability to fences.Hes one of the shorter horses in the market at 8/1, but I cant leave him off my shortlist with his improving profile. Its going to be a red hot contest with declarations on Friday. Ive already backed Long House Hall and Its A Gimme, so I just hope both stand their ground!Are you expecting The Tin Man to return to form at Newbury on Saturday after his Royal Ascot flop? Is there anything else in the Hackwood Stakes field that might make him work?I hope we see him run a better race at Newbury on Saturday, but as youll see in a moment, I wont be cheering him home. He ran way below-par in the Diamond Jubilee and although the ground was expected to suit it could have just been a bit too soft. James Fanshawe has said this horse prefers some cut in the ground (as the family tend to do), so that has to leave a question mark over the suitability of conditions on Saturday which at the time of writing were being described as good to firm. Having said that, he has won on good to firm and the weather has been a touch unsettled in the run up to the meeting.Ive already highlighted the excellent form of the Charlie Appleby stable and he saddles Charming Thought in the race. He has had a month to get over his reappearance run, which was his first since October 2014, so hopefully that should negate any possible bounce.He won the Middle Park on his final start as a two-year-old and then missed the entire Classic campaign before returning to action in a Listed race at Salisbury a month ago. He ran a promising race without being asked too tough a question to finish in fourth and it looked like a perfect re-introduction to action after such a long layoff.There is no Group One penalty to carry for this son of Oasis Dream as runners in this race are only penalised for victories after October 2015, so he has plenty going for him. Ive already backed him at 7/1 with Sky Bet and I hope my money isnt misplaced! Also See: Live results service Full racecards Get Sky Sports £10 completely free bet!

The five-time Olympian and Canadas captain was among six players head coach Dan Church left off his 21-player roster for the annual international womens tournament starting Tuesday in Lake Placid, N.Y. "Were going to take an opportunity to give her that little bit of a break," Church said Monday from Lake Placid. "Theres no question we know what she can do on the ice and that she can contribute in big games. "A lot of it has to with making sure she has a good recovery week here and is ready for the final push towards the Olympics." Wickenheiser, 35, is Canadas all-time leading scorer and has played in 14 Nations Cups during her career. The Four Nations is important preparation for the 2014 Winter Olympics for Canada, the U.S., Finland and Sweden. Assistant captain Caroline Ouellette and forward Marie-Philip Poulin as well as defencemen Meaghan Mikkelson, Lauriane Rougeau and Laura Fortino also remained in Calgary, where the Canadian team is based this winter. Wickenheiser, Ouellette, a three-time Olympian, Poulin, who is recovering from an ankle injury, and Mikkelson were on the team that won the gold medal in 2010 in Vancouver. Fortino and Rougeau have been on the national womens team for two years. "No one is guaranteed a spot in Sochi," Church said. "Some players are obviously a little more secure in their spots, so there were some decisions around that. We also have to look at the overall training plan. "Some of the veteran players do need a bit of a break and this is really our only opportunity within our schedule to do that." The performances of the players he did choose for the Four Nations will help Church determine who he wants on the Olympic team that will attempt to defend the gold in Sochi, Russia, in February. There are 27 women in Calgary trying out for the squad expected to be named in late December. Three forwards and three defencemen will be released. Poulin scored both goals for Canada in a 2-0 win over the U.S. in the 2010 Olympic final, but hasnt played a game since September because of a high ankle sprain. "We were hoping she would be available for this tournament, but she just needs about another week," Church said. Canada opens the Four Nations against Finland on Tuesday before facing the host Americans the following day and Sweden on Friday. The two teams with the best records after the preliminary round meet in Saturdays final. The U.S. is the both the defending womens world champion and Four Nations champion, having won the latter tournament two years in a row. The Americans edged Canada 3-2 in Ottawa in April to win their fourth world title in five years. Canada and the U.S. have already played two of six exhibition games scheduled for this winter with the Canadians winning 3-2 in Burlington, Vt., and 6-3 in Boisbriand, Que., in October. Goaltenders Shannon Szabados, Charline Labonte and Genevieve Lacasse made the trip to Lake Placid. Jocelyne Larocque, Brigette Lacquette, CCourtney Birchard, Catherine Ward, Tessa Bonhomme, and Tara Watchhorn were the defenceman named to the team Monday. Kemoko Turay Colts Jersey. The forwards will be Gillian Apps, Meghan Agosta-Marciano, Rebecca Johnston, Jennifer Wakefield, Melodie Daoust, Jayna Hefford, Bailey Bram, Jenelle Kohanchuk, Brianne Jenner, Hayley Irwin, Natalie Spooner and Vicki Bendus. While the point of a spending several months together prior to the Olympic Games is to build a cohesive team, it is never far from the Canadian players minds that theyre competing against each other for spots on the team. "Its something thats always there all year long, but were also a team," Apps said. "We fight hard against each other in practice every single day when we come to the rink to make each other better. "Theres six people in this group that wont be on the final roster and thats tough. It is in the back of peoples minds and thats just kind of the nature of the situation." A CBC online story in October questioned whether Wickenheiser would be Canadas captain at the 2014 Winter Games. Shes worn the C for Canada at every major tournament since 2007. "I dont know who will be the captain in Sochi," Church answered. "Hayley is definitely one of the ones were considering. Shes part of our leadership group that weve established. "It could be reading too much into it in terms if its jeopardy. We want a team with a lot of good quality leaders in it and whether people wear Cs or As theyre going to do a good job." Wickenheiser told The Canadian Press on Monday she was not available for an interview. Church has rotated his letters between different players this winter. "If you think you have leadership completely where it should be and you dont pay any attention to it, thats when things go wrong," Church said. "You always have to work on that aspect of your team. "Especially coming out of Ottawa and the results we had there and what we want to do, we want to build a team that has a lot of leaders in it that can step up at different times." Hefford will be Canadas captain in Lake Placid with Ward and Irwin her assistants, said Church. The absence of Wickenheiser, Ouellette, Mikkelson and Poulin at the Four Nations will force inexperienced players to shoulder more responsibility, he added. "Theres a huge opportunity for the players that are here this week to rise to the occasion," Church said. "There are big expectations on them to carry the load here without having that safety net. Thats a good thing for our younger players to experience." The Four Nations will also be Canadas first look at Finland and Sweden since the world championship. The Finns were the Olympic bronze medallists in 2010, but were beaten by the Russians for bronze in Ottawa. The Swedes, the surprise Olympic silver medallists in 2006, dropped to seventh at the world championship. The four remaining exhibition games against the U.S. women are scheduled for Dec. 12 in Calgary, Dec. 20 in Grand Forks, N.D., Dec. 28 in St. Paul, Minn., and Dec. 30 in Toronto.
