NICKY HENDERSON has hinted at a stunning Cheltenham entry for a horse banned from one of the big races at the Festival.

Legendary Seven Barrows boss Hendo had mapped out a route to the Morebattle Hurdle for awesome William Hill Hurdle winner Joyeuse.

PA

But she wasn’t among the 23 entries for Saturday’s big contest at Kelso.

And now Henderson says ‘everything is under consideration’ – including a shot at the Mares’ Hurdle – for the JP McManus-owned, £200,000 half-sister to former Champion Hurdle winner Epatante.

Joyeuse hasn’t met the five-run criteria for the County Hurdle, the race for which she was cut to 8-1.

She has raced four times over hurdles altogether, three times this season, winning her latest by eight lengths from Lump Sum and being put up 15lbs to 138 in the process.

Now a possible supplementary entry to the Mares’ Hurdle at a cost of £4,800 could be on the cards.

Henderson said: “She’s fine but she’s not going to Kelso.

“Everything is under consideration for her I would say, we can put it like that, we haven’t got any further.

“We did think about Kelso but it was only three weeks ago and she would have had an awful lot of weight, so we’ve decided to leave that.”

Any supplementary entries for the Mares’ must be made by noon on March 5, with declarations four days later.

Joyeuse was immediately introduced at 5-1 for the Mares’ with Unibet while William Hill and 888 went 7-1.

Gordon Elliott’s Brighterdaysahead is 1-2 fav for the Grade 1 but could be Champion Hurdle-bound.

The Betfair Exchange knows what’s happening before it’s official – as was the case with Kawaboomga being ruled out of the Festival.

And it could be telling that Brighterdaysahead is no longer favourite on there for the Mares’, having been replaced by Jade De Grugy.

Brighterdaysahead was matched as low as 1.8 but has drifted all the way out to 4.5, while she is 4.7 for the Champion Hurdle.

On the sportsbooks, Willie Mullins’ pair Lossiemouth (5-4) and Jade De Grugy (5-2) are second and third-favs respectively for the Mares’.

While Henry de Bromhead’s July Flower is a best-price 6-1.

MARRIED At First Sight UK fans can expect drama, drama, drama on tonight’s very special reunion show.

The episode is set to be so explosive that Hannah Norburn will be seen crying as she gets ready to come face-to-face with her rival.

During her time on MAFS, Hannah was involved in plenty of drama

She clashed with Polly and Holly after she was accused of flirting with Sionainn Carmichael‘s husband Ryan Livesey.

Things imploded when she found solace with another groom, Orson, even sharing a kiss with him after his marriage collapsed.

However, by the reunion she made a reappearance and was revealed to be dating Ryan outside of the experiment.

Their relationship didn’t last however, with the couple going their separate ways shortly after.

However, it’s her beef with Holly that is set to blow up again at the Married At First Sight reunion, which airs tonight.

In a sneak peek to the episode this evening, which sees MAFS stars from all different series’ come together, Hannah can be seen getting anxious at Holly’s arrival.

She’s heard saying how just the “thought of Holly arriving” makes her want to cry.

The two women had numerous rows on the show, and some of them were pretty hard to watch.

At some point Holly and her pal Polly were both accused of being “bullies” towards Hannah.

NEW MAN IN HANNAH’S LIFE

Meanwhile, this latest news comes just days after The Sun exclusively revealed that Hannah is dating the newly single Paul Liba.

They both appear on tonight’s reunion special together.

A source told us: “They’ve been secretly sneaking out on dates for a while and wanted to keep things under wraps but it all came out at the reunion filming.

“Nothing stays secret in the world of MAFS because everyone knows everyone.”

Paul appeared on the 2023 version of the show, getting married to bride Tasha Jay.

The couple remained together after the show aired, but shocked fans when they announced they split after a year together in November 2024.

Tasha posted a statement online that read: “It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing Paul and I have decided to part ways.

E4

Tasha and Paul first got together in 2023 but recently split[/caption]

“There isn’t any major reason, we have just come to terms with the fact that we are not right for each other.

“Paul is the loveliest guy I’ve ever met and I’m grateful for the time we’ve shared together and I’m glad that we can remain friends.

“I’m utterly heartbroken that I’m having to write this post, but it is best for both of us.’

“Thank you to everyone who has supported us as a couple. I hope you can now support us on our individual journeys.”

In comparison, Hannah had a disastrous time on MAFS, joining the show as a late bride and tying the knot with Stephen Nolson.

But despite initially seeming like a good fit, the pair’s relationship dissolved quickly – and it was only made worse when the girls of the group didn’t get along with her.

You can watch the drama unfold tonight on E4 at 9pm

A MAJOR motorway used by 120,000 drivers every day is set to close over two weekends next month.

The M27 will close on several nights in March, April, and May, National Highways has announced.

As part of a £83 million project, the M27 near Southampton is being resurfaced with 180mm of lower-noise asphalt.

The work is set to take place on the eastbound carriageway, between junctions 5 and 7.

It will begin in February 2025 and its estimated finish is Spring 2026.

This comes after years of complaints from local residents regarding road noise.

National Highways also plans to “clear vegetation” and “prepare the westbound carriageway for the next traffic management phase”.

An update on its website said: “This project will provide a low-noise surface along the M27 between junctions 5 and 7.

“We’re also making significant drainage improvements to the road and safety improvements to the central reservation.

“All together these measures will ensure a smoother ride for drivers, make the road quieter, improve safety and ensure the road lasts longer.”

The M27 is a motorway in Hampshire which connects Cadnam and Portsmouth.

It is 27.9 miles long and opened around 1975.

LUXURY hotels always look immaculate, but the secret to keeping them spotless isn’t expensive cleaning products or high-end solutions.

According to an ex-hotel cleaner, the real secret weapon used in five-star hotels is a cheap £1 supermarket staple.

A former hotel cleaner says staff swear by bicarbonate of soda[/caption]

Speaking to Hyperion Tiles, specialists in flooring and maintenance, the former hotel cleaner revealed that bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) is a go-to cleaning essential across high-end hotels.

And that’s all thanks to its versatility, stain-removing power, and odour-neutralising properties.

The handy product can be used to lift stains from carpets and upholstery without the need for harsh chemicals.

It also neutralise odours in rooms, bathrooms, and even inside mini-fridges.

You can even use it to keep bathroom grout and tile looking fresh by removing built-up dirt.

Other uses include gently polishing metal fixtures without scratching surfaces and absorbing moisture in humid environments to prevent musty smells.

According to Hyperion Tiles, bicarbonate of soda is particularly useful for cleaning high-end tiles and flooring, as it breaks down grime without damaging delicate materials—something many chemical cleaners fail to do.

And they say this is perfect for luxury hotels focusing on long-term maintenance, as they can avoid harsh chemicals that can damage surfaces over time.

Many professional cleaners find that commercial cleaning sprays leave a sticky residue or strong chemical odours, whereas bicarbonate of soda cleans gently and absorbs unwanted smells without overpowering fragrances.

So if you want to clean like a luxury hotel professional, here’s some baking soda tricks you can try at home:

Carpets & upholstery: Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda over the fabric, leave for 30 minutes, then vacuum to remove trapped odours.

Grout & bathroom tiles: Mix bicarbonate of soda with a little water to form a paste, apply it to grout lines, let sit for 10 minutes, then scrub with a brush.

Fresh-smelling fridges & bins: Place an open container of bicarbonate of soda inside to absorb lingering odours.

Scuff-free floors: Lightly sprinkle on marks or stains, wipe gently with a damp cloth, then buff clean.

A spokesperson for Hyperion Tiles added: “Bicarbonate of soda is one of the most effective and affordable cleaning solutions, and it’s surprising how many high-end hotels rely on it.

“It’s proof that expensive doesn’t always mean better when it comes to cleaning.”
