Trueshan’s Gold Cup bid likely to be scuppered by fast ground

TRUESHAN. HEALY RACING

Well-supported Gold Cup contender Trueshan is “very unlikely” to line-up in Thursday’s feature race at Royal Ascot, according to trainer Alan King.

The six-year-old, who was 5-2 favourite with Coral bookmakers for the two-and-a-half-mile Group One contest, had drifted to 9-2 on Sunday morning, with the forecast set fair for the next few days.
