News
The news that ante-post favourite Inspiral will miss Saturday's Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes at Newbury means the John and Thady Gosden camp are set to rely on Laurel – a ride that may fall the way of Frankie Dettori, who is seeking to equal the legendary Lester Piggott's record number of successes in the race.
A Cheveley Park Stud homebred, Inspiral had been around a 3-1 chance for the £350,000 Lockinge, which headlines ITV's coverage this weekend, but did not feature among the confirmations at Monday's forfeit stage.

Oaks hope Bluestocking will need to bloom over the next few days to make it to Epsom after connections decided she was not ready to run at York on Wednesday. The Haras De Bouquetot Fillies' Trial Stakes at Newbury on Saturday is her pre-Oaks target if she can prove her wellbeing in time.
