He said: “It’s the old injury in my back, it keeps niggling me and it feels too bad for me to ride.

I told them that I would go to a specialist but unfortunately he could not see me until Monday.”

The closing date for entries for the Cape Of Good Hope Nursery and the Kenilworth Fillies Nursery, both on May 27, has been held over until this morning. There were only ten nominations for the former on Friday and just seven for the fillies race.
