Ask to miss Lonsdale The unfortunate Ask will once again miss another big race after he was declared a non-runner in Wednesday's Weatherbys Insurance Lonsdale Cup at York. Sir Michael Stoute's seven-year-old has missed countless engagements in recent years, and the dual Group One winner has only been seen once this season. He looked to have held leading claims in the Group Two on the Knavesmire, but has been taken out on account of lameness.
