Chelsea have been told by Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas that Malo Gusto is staying at the club this season. Standard Sport understands the Blues have made the 19-year-old their top target to provide competition for Reece James, who has again found his season hit by injuries. Gusto has verbally agreed to personal terms on a deal at Stamford Bridge, likely spread over many years, but Lyon are insisting on keeping the player on loan for the rest of the season.

The seven-year-old started as the 5/6 favourite under Paul Townend after some promising maiden efforts that led to the step up to two miles and seven furlongs, for a race won by Monkfish on his way to Cheltenham two years ago. There may have been some room for improvement in the fluency of his jumping but with two flights remaining he streaked away from his rivals and strolled across the line a massive 35 lengths ahead. The Albert Bartlett is now the next destination, for which he was slashed to 7/1 from 20/1 by Paddy Power.

The former Ostersunds and Notts County manager was appointed last May to steer Rovers through their debut season in the third tier, but won just five of his 28 league games to prompt owner and chairman Dale Vince to make a change.
