Shame, I half-expected them to run Herculean as they'd felt Ted come on enough from a Maiden to contest the Royal Lodge, but it's possible he may still be suffering from the respirTory issue that forced his withdrawal from that race.
Let's hope he gets better soon if that's the reason, no more group 1's for 2yo left this season in UK, hope they find one more race for him this year if he is fit enough.
There a quite a few of Frankels entered but i'm not getting my hopes up as it's a long way off, of all those i'd like to see Elarqam take his chance, the extra furlong would suit him.
Two more Pattern wins yesterday with Monarch's Glen landing the G3 Darley Club Stakes and RUBILINDA winning a Listed event at Belmont Park.

The two sold to Hong Kong - Senator and Seven Heavens - will have been gelded as they don't race entires due to the lack of a breeding industry. Also the handful that have been sold to the Jumps sphere will no doubt be cut.
ALJEZEERA won the Listed Beckford Stakes this afternoon, making her the 4th Stakes winner in the last 5 days for Frankel.
Speaking of the horse formerly known as SENATOR, here he is (now named SIMPLY BRILLIANT) finishing 3rd in a Trial in Hong Kong
Frankel is the third leading sure in Europe by blacktype winners, despite his oldest crop being just 3.
