It’s ‘Falmouth Friday’ at Newmarket’s July Festival and horse racing correspondent Jonathan Doidge has been run the rule over a cracking card and come up with several selections using the best odds from betting sites.

Oddschecker Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (13.50, Newmarket)

A remarkably small field for a race of its type but it’s still very competitive with what looks a compressed market.

You can make cases out for several, including the ante-post favourite Princling, who has been competitive in similar races but is just 1-4 and dual handicap winner Laureate Crown, who’ll have a bit to prove over this far.

Evanesco is feared, as he dominated a five-runner field on the Rowley Course earlier in the season and could get his own way out front. However, I do like the look of one of the handicap newcomers, HERALDRY, in particular.

William Buick gets on board for the ride for the first time on the Gosden-trained three-year-old, who I think can eke out a fair bit more than his current official mark of 89.

He got up late to win a Kempton maiden (1m, AW) on his reappearance, before the reopposing Decade Of Time got first run on him and made it count at Windsor (1m, good to firm). He now has a 10lb pull with that opponent and he’d be very unlucky to meet with traffic issues in this field, so a small play on him improving is suggested.

Friday racing tip 1: Heraldry (Newmarket, 13:50) – 1pt win @ 7/2 (Ladbrokes)

Betway Trophy (Heritage Handicap) (15.00, Newmarket)

The in-form WINE DARK SEA is a confident selection here and unless he has an off-day he should be capable of bettering his nine opponents.

Harry Charlton’s gelding has won three times from five attempts in handicaps and is going from strength to strength this season. His reappearance effort was an impressive Ascot success (1m4f, good to firm) in a deep enough race, before he bolted up at odds-on at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last time.

He’s got a 6lb penalty to defy but when you consider he’s due to go up by 11lb shortly, he still looks very well treated. The step up in trip is something he’ll have to prove he can handle but there is stamina on the dam’s side of his pedigree and so there’s more than just hope he can see it out to justify his price on betting apps.

Friday racing tip 2: Wine Dark Sea (Newmarket, 15.00) – 4pts win @ 11/10 (Bet365)

If you’re looking for the winner of this cracking contest then I think the most likely one to do so is the odds-on favourite Precise, who is enjoying a super season and has a 9lb weight for age allowance on her side.

As an older horse, Blue Bolt has to shoulder the full 9st 9lb, as does JANCIS, who I think is a juicy price at 16/1 and, although we’re only playing for two places, that may be underestimating her.

She was less than 2l behind Blue Bolt in Royal Ascot’s Duke Of Cambridge Stakes and she gets a 3lb pull with that much shorter priced opponent, while I tipped Balantina to make the frame in the Coronation Stakes (won by Precise) but she got warm beforehand and weakened out of it late on after running a good race.

It’s only a very small stakes play on horse racing betting sites but the selection has really improved this year and may not have reached her ceiling just yet.

Friday racing tip 3: Jancis (Newmarket, 15.35) – 0.5pts each-way @ 16/1 (Bet365)

Debenhams Handicap (16.45, Newmarket)

This isn’t the easiest race to solve, with Our Cody (Ryan Moore booked), Rocking Ends and Rosario all runners with some potential at this Class 3 level but it could be worth siding with topweight TATTERSTALL (Michael Dods/Connor Beasley) on an each-way basis.

His prominent style of racing suits this venue and he’s acquitted himself well in two starts this campaign, being a close third when 1lb lower at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) in May, before being a neck second at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) last time in a race that is working out well.

Back up 3lb, he is still well treated on his form of not so long ago and he certainly looks capable of making the frame again and possibly even proving good enough to earn a first win since Glorious Goodwood nearly two years ago (he’s only raced five times since).

Friday racing tip 4: Tatterstall (Newmarket, 16.45) – 1pt each-way @ 7/1 (William Hill)

If you’re having a bet on horse racing, it’s vital to practice responsible gambling.

Betting can be addictive, and it’s important to stay in control of your gambling, whether you’re using online bookmakers, casino sites, slot sites, bingo sites or any other gambling platform.

Never treat gambling as a way to make money, never bet more than you can afford and when the fun stops, stop.

Gambling sites offer punters tools, like deposit limits, profit and loss trackers and self-exclusion options, to help you stay in control.

But if you ever feel like you need help or advice on gambling addiction, don’t hesitate to contact one of the charities or organisations below.

Chris Eubank Jr is expected to return before the end of the year as he seeks to bounce back from a one-sided defeat to Conor Benn, and now a former world champion who has not fought in over four years has confirmed his interest in the clash.

Hampered by the weight limit and rehydration clause, Eubank continued his family’s success over the Benns with a decision triumph over his cross-generational rival last April, replicating the efforts of his father, Eubank Sr, who trumped Nigel Benn 35 years prior.

However, in the rematch back in November, Eubank Jr looked a shadow of himself as he was comprehensively outboxed and outfought by Benn, reaching the final bell by the skin of his teeth before a lopsided verdict was formally confirmed. 

Since then, Eubank Jr has shunned the idea of retirement and has instead been linked to a catchweight affair with Australia’s Michael Zerafa, who signed with Matchroom Boxing last week and announced an August appearance on the Teremoana Teremoana vs. DeAndre Savage undercard in Queensland.

Whilst that contest may be presumably planned to tee up a scrap between Eubank and Zerafa at the end of the year, former IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook told Boxing King Media that he would be willing to come out of retirement and take on his fellow Briton, if the offer is fair.

“Absolutely, [I am retired unless the right offer comes along]. If the right offer comes, I will fight. We have got history, me and Chris Eubank Jnr.”

“The offer still stands, if we can be sensible and they can give me what I am worth, then that fight can happen. If it doesn’t, I am happy.”

Brook hasn’t fought since his stoppage win over bitter rival Amir Khan back in February 2022, after a career which saw him also share the ring with the likes of Terence Crawford, Gennady Golovkin, Errol Spence and Shawn Porter.

As for Eubank Jr, he continues to claim that he is a free agent, but Boxxer’s Ben Shalom has maintained that he has a contract in place with the polarising middleweight and that he will be promoting his next fight.

The Siege of Charles-Towne main quest in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is the last mission of Sequence 6 and begins after you have rescued Blackbeard in the previous quest. It involves heading out to Charles-Towne to recover medicines meant to be traded for the hostages taken by Blackbeard.

This article provides a complete walkthrough of The Siege of Charles-Towne main quest in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.

How to complete The Siege of Charles-Towne quest in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced

Meet up with Edward Thatch

Once you have completed the Devil’s Advocate quest, you can initiate The Siege of Charles-Towne main quest in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced by heading toward the quest marker in the Dry Tortuga region.

Simply fast-travel to Abaco Island and sail northwest from there to find Blackbeard’s ship, led by Bonnet. Then get close to it and select the “Start Quest” prompt to begin. This will trigger two back-to-back cutscenes where you learn that Thatch has taken hostages outside Charles-Towne to trade them for medicines.

Tail the gunboat

After the cutscene ends, you will be back at the helm of the Jackdaw. Quietly sail your ship behind a British gunboat and tail it to learn more about the location of medicines.

Eventually, you will reach a spot where Adewale will mention that we cannot pass undetected. At this point, park the ship on the side and disembark from it.

Sabotage the alarm bell

Once you are on land, you will get the objective to sabotage the alarm bell. To do so, simply head over to the tower shown in the image above. You will find the alarm bell at the ground level just behind it, guarded by a few guards.

Just sneak behind the enemies and assassinate without being noticed. Afterward, get close to the alarm bell and destroy it. Now return to the Jackdaw to proceed further in The Siege of Charles-Towne main quest of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.

Continue tailing the gunboat

As soon as you are back at the helm, continue tailing the British gunboat again. After following it a bit further, you will reach an area with shallow waters through which your ship cannot pass.

At this point, disembark from the Jackdaw again and go to the gunboat’s location on foot. Here you will find that the British are now traveling ahead on a small sailboat.

Tail Officer Ryder

The next objective of the mission is to tail Officer Ryder. He is highlighted by the quest marker. Simply follow his sailboat around without being spotted.

He will then lead you to Captain Wyatt of the British Navy, who holds the key to the warehouse containing medicines.

Kill Captain Wyatt to obtain the key

Your next task is rather simple. Just go after the Captain toward his mansion while defeating hordes of soldiers along the way. Upon reaching him, kill him to take the key from him.

Doing so will trigger the final cutscene of The Siege of Charles-Towne main quest in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, marking its completion.
