“He always had that, even at three, but it has taken him time to mature When I took him to Dubai I thought he would run very well. Yesterday he stamped and swished as hands-on Hashiguchi, 60, smoothed his dark coat, oiled his hooves and placated his star with carrots.”He is starting to settle, so I am not worried,” said the trainer through his assistant and excellent interpreter Toshi Kiyota “He was like this when he arrived in Dubai. He looks a little light, too, after travelling, but he is the sort of horse who travels well and acclimatises. He has the temperament to take everything in his stride.”As a three-year-old, Heart’s Cry was smart – he was second in his local Derby – but not a superstar But he is definitely on an upward curve now. “It is the dream of every Japanese horseman to come to Ascot for the King George,” said the five-year-old’s trainer, Kojiro Hashiguchi, yesterday. “We will be racing for honour and pride, the pride of Japan and of our horse.”After a 23-hour journey from the Ritto training centre, not far from Kyoto, to his temporary quarters at Luca Cumani’s Bedford House yard, Heart’s Cry had every right to become a little edgy. The Japanese programme is so well-endowed that foreign fields, in these parts at least, are not exactly profitable to conquer.Even before he burst on the international scene with his stunning £1.7m success in the Dubai Sheema Classic at Nad Al Sheba in March, Heart’s Cry had earned the best part of £3m in 16 domestic runs that yielded four victories.His presence in the field at Ascot will be for solely altruistic reasons.
From its beginnings in the 1860s there was little stability until the 1930s, when its equivalent to British Classics were established. After the war the importation of the Irish Derby winner Hindostan had a significant effect on the breeding industry but the occasional enterprising venture abroad in the 1960s showed Japanese competitors were not up to scratch.
As recently as eight years ago runners from Japan in Europe had been regarded as no more than curiosities, given the rarity of such ventures, the then closed-door policy of the country’s racing and lack of success abroad, despite massive investment in breeding stock.The breakthough came thanks to top-level victories from Seeking The Pearl, Taiki Shuttle, Agnes World and El Condor Pasa But it was a door that opened, not a floodgate. One, Deep Impact, is heading for Paris in October and a crack at the Arc. The other, Heart’s Cry, will step on to Newmarket Heath this morning ahead of the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday week The sport had better get used to turning Japanese. Japan’s racing history is a brief one compared to the countries with which she now competes. Such is the progress made by one of the youngest racing nations that it now numbers two horses ranked in the top eight in the world. This means cars and lorries in five years’ time will be pumping out 46.5 million tons of carbon a year compared with 40.2 million tons in 1990..
Britain’s road transport emissions grew by 8 per cent between 1990 and 2000 and without any further policy measures to combat this, scientists predict emissions in 2010 will be 15.6 per cent higher than in 1990. Cars
Soaring emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), an inevitable waste product of burning coal, oil and gas, are causing the atmosphere to retain more of the sun’s heat and change the climate, with potentially catastrophic results. A limit could be imposed on the carbon each person pumps into the atmosphere under proposals being considered by the Government to combat global warming. A credit card-style trading system would ensure that people pay for air travel, electricity, gas and petrol with carbon rations as well as cash, under the plans to be floated today by David Miliband, the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in aspeech to the Audit Commission.. With the mercury expected to approach 100F (37.8C) for only the second time in Britain’s history – but also the second time in under three years – researchers said the unusual heat was entirely consistent with predictions of climate change caused by rising emissions of greenhouses gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) from power stations, motor transport and, increasingly, aircraft.. The near-record temperatures expected today are a sign of things to come, and will become commoner and hotter in future years as man-made global warming takes hold, scientists predict.

With Worcestershire already 146 runs ahead on the first innings, Graeme Hick was dropped by Alan Wells at slip when he had made nine. By the close Hick was 56 not outThe innings was studded with high quality shots, including a six which dislodged a tile from the Pavilion roof, and rattled the bowler, Ealham, who is expecting the chop today when England announce the squad for the Fifth Test next week. Leatherdale’s first over broke a substantial partnership between Graham Cowdrey and Mark Ealham.Cowdrey miscued a pull and Tim Curtis took a good catch at backward square- leg Then it was Moody’s turn. He was presented with a simple catch off his bowling by Ealham, although by then the England all-rounder had reached his half century off 45 balls.Kent collapsed, Leatherdale picked up a couple more for a return of 3 for 25, and careered headlong towards the follow-on until Dean Headley, Marsh and Thompson did their stuff.
Such resistance to giving a youth a fling, said not to be in the best interests of English cricket generally, was probably not in the best interests of Essex, either.. There had been the prospect of this match meandering to the foregone conclusion of an aimless draw after Tom Moody elected to bat on yesterday. Mercifully, Worcestershire mustered only 13 more runs, while Kent hustled another bowling point as they whipped out the remaining three batsmen, including David Leatherdale for 129, in the space of 20 balls. Kent then obliged, initially, by struggling against a Worcestershire attack shorn of Alamgir Sheriyah and Stuart Lampitt through illness and injury respectively, then by allowing themselves to be rolled over to the point where they were in danger of following on. It needed some careful nursing by their doctor, Julian “Tail End” Thompson, and a watchful innings from captain Steve Marsh for them to avoid that humiliation.
Thompson’s solitary boundary took them to their target figure, 273, before, three runs later, last man Alan Igglesden was bowled byChampionship debutant Maneer Mirza, brother of the late Parvaz. He ended with 2 for 56, commendable figures but outdone by Leatherdale. It was an inspired double change which saw Moody bring on himself from the New Road End and Leatherdale from the Diglis End.
The 18-year-old debutant Jonathan Powell, another off-spinner, waited 49 overs of the day for his turn. This was 100 for 4 and Essex scented an opportunity.But Sutcliffe began to flourish. Partnered in the afternoon by Neil Johnson, who was put down at the wicket when he was three and the total was 107 (he went on to 91, by which time the score was 303), Sutcliffe increased and reduced the tempo as the occasion demanded.Essex, needing to win to sustain their immediate challenge for their first title in five years, were perhaps not as adventurous as they could be. He accounted for James Whitaker before lunch, too, the Leicestershire captain being confined to his crease and late on the stroke as the ball sneaked through.
In all he bowled 48 overs in the day, and if the pitch did not fizz as he might have desired, he ran through an impressively patient repertoire.Eventually, he persuaded Pierson to flick – rather casually after such stout resistance – to short leg. Sutcliffe was scarcely less becalmed, but he was willing, if the ball was indifferent enough, to deliver an appropriate handsome riposte as he demonstrated with a pulled six off Ashley Cowan.The batsmen’s main adversary was Peter Such, who took the ball at the scoreboard end at the start of the day and did not release it until way after lunch. It took 206 balls and if it seemed longer that was to his immense credit.At the end of the proceedings they were still 68 runs short of making Essex bat again, but they had not wilted. Sutcliffe began the day with Adrian Pierson, who did what nightwatchmen are supposed to do and frustrated Essex to distraction He played no shot worthy of the name, he just batted. There were nine successive maidens at one point, but there was never much doubt that Iain Sutcliffe would complete his second century of the season. Yesterday, it was predicted that they were staring down at least one barrel with the Colchester pitch likely to turn late in the match But Leicestershire know they are hard to beat.

The issue of the overpayment recovery letter was the result of several mistakes by the Benefits Agency.. Although this was corrected, the same mistake was repeated four months later. “This was sheer maladministration,” the Ombudsman said.In a third case, a series of fundamental errors in the CSA’s handling of a change from Income Support to child maintenance support caused worry and frustration to a mother whose payments were considerably delayed and were incorrect. The CSA centre improperly suggested that the responsibility lay with the Benefits Agency.The complaint that was not upheld against the CSA was made by a widow who complained that the CSA wrote asking for details of her husband despite the fact that she had notified the Benefits Agency of his death and had never been separated from him.
It was also inflated by £500 as no account was taken of his voluntary payments. Because his maintenance payments had been irregular, a deduction from earnings order was sent to his employer authorising the weekly deduction of £75.75.His payments were increased from £123 a month to £227 and he was asked for an initial payment of £1,249 due to the time the CSA had taken to assess his case. The Ombudsman’s investigation revealed a number of shortcomings, starting with a three-and-a-half-month delay in assessing his liability. Consideration is being given to compensating the complainant should he be able to provide evidence of illness resulting from the actions of the CSA.”In another case, a man complained about the way the CSA handled his child maintenance affairs. I severely criticise their actions.”The effect on the complainant and his wife was clearly traumatic and made even worse by the centre’s delay in putting right their mistake CSA have admitted their error and have apologised.
The Ombudsman found: “To assume on the basis of the same name and area that the complainant was the father was irresponsible.
“The information necessary to trace the absent father was already held by the Benefits Agency’s office as the CSA centre should have realised. In one case, a man was wrongly identified as the father of a child and sent a maintenance inquiry form It took the CSA six months to acknowledge the error. The complaints of maladministration leading to injustice, upheld yesterday by the Parliamentary Ombudsman, are merely a selection of the many thousand letters of complaints that have filled MPs’ postbags. Measures to improve quality, accuracy and customer service will be an important component of our responseto the social security committee, due shortly.”. An estimated 350,000 cases would be deferred indefinitely.Alistair Burt, the social security minister with responsibility for the CSA, said: “The best way forward is to simplify and speed up administration. It would also not pursue, for the time being, cases in which it issued a maintenance order more than six months earlier which had not been returned. The DSS has apologised to the parents whose complaints were upheld and the CSA has been instructed to correct the faults.Last month the Government announced that the CSA would delay taking on the remaining cases where the parent with care was already receiving Income Support before April 1993 until the backlog was cleared.
He was asked by 95 MPs to look into complaints against the CSA. He accepted 70 cases for investigation.Mr Reid said the investigations had shone light on administrative shortcomings that needed to be remedied and the resulting improvements to the system should bring benefits for all parents involved with the CSA. Government ministers and Department of Social Security officials are also criticised for pushing through a policy that affected millions of people with such haste. As a result, he said: “Maladministration leading to injustice is likely to arise when a new administrative task is not tested first by a pilot project; when new staff, perhaps inadequately trained, form a substantial fraction of the workforce; where procedures and technology supporting them are untried; and where quality of service is subordinated to sheer throughput.”The Ombudsman investigates complaints against government departments and public bodies of maladministration leading to injustice. Protest groups have also campaigned for the parent with care who is on Income Support to be allowed to keep some of the extra maintenance without losing all benefits.The CSA has been plagued by complaints of unfairness and a campaign of opposition almost on a par with the anti-poll tax revolt since it was set up as a “Next Steps” executive agency of the Department of Social Security in April 1993.The Ombudsman said he was “extremely disappointed” that the CSA had failed to learn from similar criticisms of systematic failures by the other DSS agency, the Benefits Agency, in its handling of the introduction of the disability living allowance in 1993.

Nor does it have the rows of torpedo-like tuna at Tokyo’s Tsukuji market, the surreal turtle butchery of Singapore’s wet market, or the pet rhesus monkey who sits on a sofa watching television and eating beef satay at Bangkok’s Au Tor Kor spice market.It’s really just a nice old big shed, threaded by a brightly lit central oesophagus lined with carcasses. Some of these hang out the back, and some walk around out the front wearing white coats. By 6am, there is a line of vans ringing the entire market, motors humming like lowing cattle, headlights warm against the rump of the one in front. Did you know, by the way, that it’s dark at 6am? I’m not sure I did. It’s a new, different kind of dark, a colder kind that nips at your heels like a cattle dog.Luckily the Cock Tavern, downstairs under the poultry section, opens at 6am to feed the various sub-species around the area who have been up all night.
They come in shifts, or at least at the end of their shifts, from the meat market in overalls and hard hats, from Bart’s hospital in buttoned-up overcoats, and from the local nick in thick serge jackets with the collars turned up. At one stage, I have The Bill to my left, Casualty to my right, and an episode of EastEnders directly ahead. The girls behind the bar know most of the workers by name, living proof that this is no Ye Olde English Pubbe, but an honest working local boozer.I don’t really need to paint a picture of the place – you know it already: the long wooden bar, the snug corner of 1970s splendour, the two open dining-rooms of vinyl chairs and checked table cloths, the Beatles music, the old market signs and framed photos of bomb damage during the Blitz. And in the kitchen, the steadfast breakfast cook who has been dishing up eggs, bacon, sausages and beans for 35 years.You know the menu, too. Tea is 40p, coffee is 55p, toast is 25p and set breakfasts run from the Cowboy Breakfast of double bacon and beans at £1.90 to the full-on Cock breakfast at £6.25.
I order the Smithfield breakfast for £5.10, a real plate-coverer. The bacon (from Smith’s stall upstairs) is a treat, thick-cut and salty, and the egg is cleanly set, with a just-runny yolk. Kidneys are cooked with surprising delicacy, and black pudding is suitably lush and fruity. A banger is blah – bready and anonymous tasting – the baked beans are baked beans, and the thin buttered toast is something that nobody has thought very much about.My wife, who thinks an English Breakfast is something that comes in a cup and saucer, strikes gold with an egg and bacon sarnie (£1.50).
The same great bacon, without a drop of grease, lies sandwiched between freshly buttered soft, white, thick crusty bread along with a gently cooked egg that oozes apologetically, without dripping beyond its borders. This is food that is so plain and simple, it is almost sophisticated. It’s about half an hour too early for me to go for a pint of Young’s Bitter, so tea it is, a big pot that bulges with about three too many tea-bags.It’s all so wonderfully ordinary; the perfect panacea to a soul troubled by Cuban foie gras on beancurd crisps frizzled with tamarillo and sea urchin jus served by people with expensive hair.But for how long? The Smithfield/Clerkenwell area is being reinvented on an almost daily basis, as the City boys and girls move their DVDs and gym equipment into urban lofts and bond over raw tuna at Yo!Sushi and foie gras at Club Gascon. They don’t so much live as lifestyle here, contributing to the economy but not the community. They’d rather do breakfast ironically at John Torode’s smart new Smiths of Smithfield across the road, and watch their property values rise with every new corner Prêt à Manger. I go back to The Cock for lunch, but lacklustre roast pork and a dry roast beef sandwich convince me it’s a breakfast place. There are other fry-ups in Smithfield, and probably even better ones, but the Cock hits the spot, because it’s filled with people who have been working all night rather than playing.

In Val Thorens, the gentlest slopes are close to the village centre, and include a free drag-lift.
Best for intermediates
Virtually the whole of this vast skiers playground is suitable for intermediates, from the wide, blue “motorway pistes” above Courchevel 1650, to theego- massaging reds and blues above the tree- line of Val Thorens, where the snow conditions are invariably good and the grooming excellent. Unless you are in Meribel, do check that the instructor has competent English and alsoenquire about the other pupils in your group. My teenage daughter found it quite intimidating to be the only non-French member of a beginners’snowboarding class in Courchevel.
The best nursery slopes in Courchevel are above 1650, and in the Pralong, Bellecote and the Jardin Alpines areas above 1850 where there are severalfree drag-lifts for beginners. In Meribel, most beginners practice around the Altiport area, where the gentle pistes can become quite crowded, sometimescreating long lift queues. Sadly, there are still very few native English-speaking instructors, since the French authorities are adept in the art of defying European lawby denying foreign EC nationals their rights to work in France. However, its low altitude means conditions areunreliable, and the nightlife is non-existent.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Best for beginners
There are more than 1,000 ski instructors in the area available for private lessons and guiding classes for skiers and snowboarders at every level ofcompetence. The runs down to St Martin are wide and easy, perfect to get you in the right frame of mind for a relaxed lunch.
LA TANIA
Away from the crowds A tiny modern village built for the 1992 Olympics.
After fresh snowfalls there are some beautiful intermediate runs through thetrees down to the village, which is served by a high-speed cabin system and some antiquated drag-lifts. Staying at 1300 (Le Praz) provides access to some excellent cross-country skiing, some fine restaurants and good cable-car linksto the main ski runs. There is cheap accommodation at 1550 and 1650, some good beginner slopes but little else. 1850 is where it all happens, day andnight, for those prepared to pay the very high prices.
ST MARTIN-DE-BELLEVILLE
Traditional charm The smallest and most traditional village, with some great restaurants for lunch, good-value accommodation and acceptable, if limited,links into the main ski areas. While its noisy bars and blaring music on the lower slopes obviously hold appeal to some, I have never been tempted to linger here formore than the briefest of transit stops on my travels across the valleys.
COURCHEVEL
Upscale chic There are four separate village areas to this resort, named by their altitudes of 1300, 1550, 1650 and 1850 metres, all linked by shuttle busservices and ski lifts. Because of its altitude, Val Thorens is a good choice for early and late-season travellers.
LES MENUIRES
Cheap and cheerful The ugliest and the cheapest of the resorts in this area, it does provide close access to the less crowded and quite challenging slopesof La Masse.
As a result, the pistes can become very crowded when skiers from all three valleys converge. When the weather closes in, high winds can forceclosure of the lifts more frequently than elsewhere. It is a satellite resort at a higher altitude with better snow conditions and lift connections but very littleatmosphere once the lifts have closed down for the day.
VAL THORENS
Guaranteed snow Europe’s highest resort at 2,300 metres, it is the place to head for when snow conditions are getting too thin for comfort in the lowerresorts. Some of the bar staff return year after year and still seem unable to speak a word of French!
