Telescope to miss Derby Telescope has a sore left shin and "won't be running" in the Investec Derby at Epsom on June 1, said trainer Sir Michael Stoute. The Galileo colt had a racecourse gallop at Lingfield on Wednesday, in which he was described as only "workmanlike" by the Newmarket handler. He has since developed a sore shin, with Stoute of the opinion the premier Classic will now come too soon. Stoute said: "He has a bit of soreness on a left shin and I don't think the horse will be going to Epsom. He's not giving us the right signs and won't be running." Stoute said: "He has had hold-ups here and there and hasn't been giving us the right signs." Asked if he was definitely out of the Derby, he replied: "He's not going to run."
