Quick ground scuppers Lord North’s Ascot outing

Gosden runner will bypass the Prince of Wales’s Stakes

Lord North will not contest this afternoon’s Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The five-year-old won the 10-furlong feature last year and had been set for a high-profile clash with dual Classic winner Love.

However, with the ground officially described as good to firm, trainers John and Thady Gosden have declared their charge a non runner.
