Bearer out of Juddmonte The small but select field for the Juddmonte International at York on Tuesday has been reduced by one with the defection of Tartan Bearer. Sir Michael Stoute's King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes runner-up has been found to be lame. Peter Reynolds, racing manager for Tartan Bearer's owners Ballymacoll Stud, confirmed the Spectrum colt as a non-runner. That means there are just three rivals to superstar colt Sea The Stars for the Group One contest over an extended 10 furlongs, all of them trained by Aidan O'Brien.
