News in Brief
Modern Games takes Lockinge for Godolphin
Modern Games might have begun last season behind Coroebus and Native Trail in the pecking order for three-year-old milers at Charlie Appleby’s acclaimed Godolphin yard, but he could be about to assume the role of stable star after a taking victory in the Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes.
Horses formerly owned by John Dance permitted to run after agreement
Horses previously registered to John Dance will be able to run again after the BHA said a deal has been reached with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to release funds to cover the costs of his former racing operations.
Jockey Club applies for injunction against ‘illegal and reckless’ Derby protests
The Jockey Club has lodged an application for a high court injunction against what it describes as Animal Rising’s “explicit threat” to disrupt the Betfred Derby festival at Epsom. The injunction cites the racecourse, the parade ring and the route the horses take between the two and seeks to prevent unauthorised persons from entering any of those areas, or from throwing any object into them, with the aim of disrupting racing.
RECENT LAMBOURN WINNERS
Scrum Diddly
Oliver SherwoodScrum has been a bit disappointing so far over hurdles having been placed in an Irish point before joining us. He has appeared on the green side and also probably didn’t really handle softer conditions during the winter, his last run In February on good ground was better. This will be his first run in a handicap and he is also wearing first time cheekpieces, I don’t think he’s ungenuine but he can lack concentration over his obstacles at times.

Choccabloc
Nicky HendersonHe has run well in both his bumpers so far and should have a good chance today.
Prospering
Ed WalkerI am keen to run despite the ground today. I think Ascot could suit him and we will learn how he handles soft ground. We know he will stay further and stamina will come into play today.
