DARLEY BOOKED FOR KINGSCLERE

Kingsclere will attempt to redeem his reputation in the Charlton Group July Trophy Stakes at Haydock on Saturday.

The Ian Balding-trained colt gave Olivier Peslier a difficult ride in the Vodafone Derby, bolting on his way to the start and proving difficult to steer during the race before finishing a tailed-off last of 15 runners behind Sinndar.

Balding has booked Kevin Darley to ride the colt in the Listed contest and said: "He seems in pretty good form.

"There were no ill-effects after the Derby and we have given him a quite a rest."

Other notable entries for the race include Geoff Wragg's Derby seventh St Expedit.

Darley will also ride Balding's Rada's Daughter in the £50,000 Letheby & Christopher Old Newton Cup.

A total of 27 horses have been entered for the prestigious handicap including Celestial Welcome, a 16-1 winner of the race last year for trainer Mary Reveley.

The feature race at the Merseyside course is the Unigate Foodservice Lancashire Oaks.

The 17 entries include the Michael Jarvis-trained Ela Athena, second to Ramruma in last year's Yorkshire Oaks, who also holds an entry in the Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown the same afternoon.

The Queen's Interlude, an unlucky third to Miletrian in the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot on her seasonal debut, is also a possible runner.
