Guard Ruled Out Of Lincoln Royal Guard, Kieren Fallon´s intended mount in the Stanleybet Lincoln, is to miss the big handicap at Doncaster on Saturday week. The five-year-old, trained in France by John Hammond, was 10-1 second-favourite with Ladbrokes. 'John Hammond has phoned and advised me that he is not happy with the horse and that it won´t be running,' Fallon´s agent Dave Pollington told the Press Association on Thursday. 'He asked me if I would let everybody know.' Pollington now has to try and find a suitable replacement in the first leg of the `spring double´ for Fallon. Royal Guard has won three of his five starts, finishing second on his other two outings. ? PA Sport
