TRUESHAN is OUT of his blockbuster clash against Stradivarius after being declared a non-runner for the third time this year.
Alan King’s star stayer was all set to take on Frankie Dettori’s legendary horse in the Doncaster Cup Stakes.
But again Hollie Doyle’s mount was pulled out on account of the ground.
Trueshan, a winner on his last race at Goodwood, loves it soft and, with the going good to firm, good in places, it was decided today’s conditions simply did not suit.
That means Stradivarius has shortened even more at the head of the market and is now the runaway 4-9 favourite to claim the £62,381 prize.
Stradivarius will have five rivals in the 2m2f Group 2 clash.
Rodrigo Diaz has been installed the 4-1 second favourite, with Nayef Road plummeting in price to 12-1 from 20s.
Alerta Roja is 20-1, just ahead of 22-1 The Grand Visir and 25-1 roughie Eagles By Day.
More to follow.
