TOP OFFER'S planned Qipco 2,000 Guineas warm up in Saturday's Group 3 Aon Greenham Stakes has been shelved after trainer Roger Charlton decided conditions would be too soft to risk the exciting colt so close to Newmarket.
The 2,000 Guineas second favourite will still be sent to Newbury where his exercise will be limited to walking the pre-parade ring, but his preparation for the May 5 Classic will be completed on Charlton's Beckhampton gallops.
Tales Of Grimm, who won the other division of the Newbury maiden to Top Offer last August, was also pulled out of the Greenham on Friday, leaving just five runners in the 2,000 Guineas trial

EXCELEBRATION, twice second to the mighty Frankel last year, has been declared for his hotly anticipated first run for trainer Aidan O'Brien in Sunday's Group 3 Big Bad Bob Gladness Stakes at the Curragh.
The JLT Lockinge Stakes entry was last seen finishing runner-up to Frankel in the Qipco-backed Queen Elizabeth II Stakes when he was beaten by four lengths.
On Sunday, the Qatar Prix Du Moulin De Longchamp winner begins his season against five rivals, including the Dandy Nicholls-trained Beacon Lodge, over 7f with Joseph O'Brien in the saddle
