Hugo Palmer believes he has Galileo Gold at the peak of his powers for Saturdays mouthwatering Qipco Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot. The 2000 Guineas and St Jamess Palace Stakes winner is due to clash with Ribchester and Awtaad, who have verdicts over him in France and Ireland respectively, as well as one of Aidan OBriens top-class fillies Minding or Alice Springs.Newmarket-based Palmer feels his stable star has excuses for his defeats this season and that the break of two months since his run in the Prix Jacques le Marois will have done him the power of good. His French reverse came just 18 days after a narrow defeat to The Gurkha, who has subsequently been retired.Im really confident hes going to go to Ascot at the peak of his powers, Palmer told the Guardian.Quite simply, we didnt have the time between races to get the work into him to settle him down.He had the luxury of his own private jet to Deauville. Part of me just wonders whether, if wed treated him a bit more normally, the edge might have been taken off him by the journey. He just was too fresh and he over-raced.Hes raced 10 times in his life; the first time he ran, he pulled his chance away and the last time he ran, he pulled his chance away, but every other time hes been perfect. So I hope we can go back to whats happened on the other eight times.Palmer will also be represented by dual Oaks runner-up Architecture in the Qipco Fillies & Mares Stakes and feels she has been underestimated by the bookmakers, who make her a 20-1 chance.She hasnt done a lot wrong all year. There was that glorious moment when we thought wed won the Oaks. And there was a much shorter but equally glorious moment when I thought shed won the Irish Oaks, he said.By the looks of the betting, shes got to take on the filly that beat her both at Lingfield and at the Curragh (Seventh Heaven).But theres no easy Group Ones and the same applies for that horse as it does for mine. Theyve got to bring their A game to win these races and theyre not machines.

Swansea capitalized on the 80th-minute sending-off of substitute Fabio Da Silva by scoring in the last minute through Wilfried Bony in a 2-1 win at United, the latest setback for David Moyes in his turbulent first season with the English champions. United has lost four of its last six games at Old Trafford in all competitions and failed to reach the fourth round for only the second time in 30 years. "We had another big game in 48 hours time so we have to keep that in mind (but) no excuse," said Moyes, referring to the first leg of a League Cup semifinal against Sunderland on Tuesday. "We had a strong team out. Nearly every player out there was an international." Like United, West Ham used a lineup full of reserves ahead of its League Cup semifinal against Manchester City on Wednesday, and the gamble backfired. The injury-hit Premier League struggler was crushed 5-0 at second-tier Nottingham Forest in the third rounds biggest shock. "We had a huge amount of problems in terms of the available members of the squad so Ive got to keep them intact, thats a major priority," said West Ham manager Sam Allardyce, who was already under pressure with his team next to last in the league. "Many, many managers have changed the team in all divisions, but my changes had to be severe. I didnt want it to be but it had to be." Chelsea and Liverpool played stronger lineups -- and it showed. Second-half goals by John Obi Mikel and Oscar earned Chelsea a 2-0 victory at Derby, while Liverpool avenged last seasons surprise defeat to third-tier Oldham in this competition by winning 2-0 at Anfield thanks to Iago Aspas first goal for the club and an own goal by James Tarkowski. That game also saw Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers go up against his own son, Anton, who plays for Oldham and came on as a second-half substitute. "Ive seen Antons life from when he was a young footballer and to see him run out there was a bit surreal really," Rodgers said. Sunderland beat third-tier Carlisle 3-1 in the other thiird-round match featuring a Premier League team.dddddddddddd The fear factor about visiting Old Trafford has disappeared since Alex Ferguson left United last summer and Swansea was the latest team to take advantage, recording its first win at the home of the champions. "Lets not kid ourselves, its a really bad result," United midfielder Darren Fletcher said. The Welsh side was helped by Moyes picking a shadow team that was missing injured strikers Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie, as well as senior players Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra and Michael Carrick. And Wayne Routledge put Swansea ahead in the 12th minute, running onto Alejandro Pozuelos through ball and lobbing goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard. Javier Hernandez turned in Alexander Buttners cross four minutes later for the equalizer, and Moyes said he was disappointed not to see his team kick on from then. Fabio was given a straight red card for a studs-first lunge at Jose Canas, just four minutes after coming on as a substitute, and Bony made United pay by rising to head in Routledges left-wing cross to cap an impressive performance. "In my world, they are still a big team and for us to beat them, we still have to do a very good performance," Swansea manager Michael Laudrup said. Allardyce fielded an unrecognizable starting XI featuring a host of youth-team players at The City Ground and they collapsed in the second half. Djamel Abdouns goal gave Forest a 1-0 lead at halftime before Jamie Paterson scored a hat trick and Andy Reid completed the humiliation with the fifth in injury time. West Hams lineup further highlights the FA Cups increasing lack of appeal in the eyes of many top clubs nowadays but Allardyce made no apologies and knows there may be repercussions. "There might be, who knows?" Allardyce said. "Im not saying it wont happen unless I start to get results. I have got to get results, I know that." The depth of Chelseas squad shone through as Mikel headed home Willians free kick in the 66th minute for only his fourth goal for the club in 300 appearances, before Brazil playmaker Oscar struck a fierce shot in at the near post five minutes later. Chelsea will host Stoke in the fourth round while Liverpool must travel to Bournemouth or Burton. ' ' '
