Murtagh opts for International Cup race

Johnny Murtagh will miss Saturday’s action after applying to have the dates of his three-day suspension changed.

The rider was originally ruled out on May 17, 18 and 20 after being found guilty of careless riding at Newmarket on 1000 Guineas day.

However, Murtagh is booked to ride Doctor Dino in Sunday’s Singapore Airlines International Cup and has applied to change his suspension back to May 19 and miss Newbury’s Lockinge Stakes meeting.
