The gloriously knowing adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s novel gets a tremendous second season. Its fabulous escapism is beyond earthly praise Rupert Campbell-Black is a bounder, a braggart, a scoundrel who won’t play by the rules, by Jove. “The man is a loose cannon,” hisses show-jumping coach Malise Gordon (Rupert Everett), as Rupert (Alex Hassell) directs his own cannon at the latest in a seemingly ...
The gloriously knowing adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s novel gets a tremendous second season. Its fabulous escapism is beyond earthly praise Rupert Campbell-Black is a bounder, a braggart, a scoundrel who won’t play by the rules, by Jove. “The man is a loose cannon,” hisses show-jumping coach Malise Gordon (Rupert Everett), as Rupert (Alex Hassell) directs his own cannon at the latest in a seemingly endless conga-line of pantingly grateful locals. By “his own cannon” I mean, of course, his penis. Or rather his “willy”, for there is no aspect of the anatomy – or, indeed, life – that Rivals will not reduce to a cartoon while pointing and sniggering like a schoolgirl. And quite right, too. Who wants boring old reality when you could be engaging in an explosive bout of nude tennis with the MP for Chalford and Bisley (“Tit fault!”)? Anyway, back to Rupert, who, as the aforementioned minister for sport and “most handsome man in England”, is the throbbing nub of this unapologetically preposterous adaptation of the late Jilly Cooper’s 80s bonkbuster. Rupert has a head for business and a body for wearing jodhpurs while shouting “ARE YOU READY FOR ME TO COME DOWN YOUR CHIMNEY?” during sex. Men admire his ruthlessness; horses are magnetised by his reckless approach to leisurewear. Continue reading...

A former Asia quant research chief at Citadel Securities LLC has more than tripled assets at his China hedge fund in recent months, as the firm boosted fundraising after building up a strong track record. ZenX Quant ’s assets jumped to 14 billion yuan ($2 billion) as of April, from about 4 billion yuan of mostly institutional money as recently as November, according to roadshow documents seen by Bloomberg News. The Shenzhen-based firm led by Han Jiarui is raising money for products including its index-enhanced strategy tracking the CSI A500 Index , which has beaten the underlying benchmark each month since January 2025 through February, the data showed. The acceleration comes after a few years of more measured growth since Han, who left Citadel Securities in 2020, set up the firm in 2021 with a co-founder. ZenX entered into a distribution agreement with leading brokerage Citic Securities Co. in October, and registered 22 new products in the first quarter alone, exceeding the total of 18 for last year, according to the documents. ZenX declined to comment. Han joins the growing ranks of China’s top-league hedge funds as the 7.5 trillion yuan industry emerges from a downturn following tightened regulatory scrutiny . A stock market rally since last year has buoyed the sector. The number of managers running more than 10 billion yuan expanded by 18 this year to 131 as of April 21, according to data compiled by Shenzhen PaiPaiWang Investment & Management Co. Only two global firms — Bridgewater Associates and Two Sigma Investments — are on the list.
