Henlow failed to fill the Bunny Bookmakers Gold Cup over 500 metres, which gets underway on Sunday.

The six heats will feature will each feature a vacant trap after the track fell six entries short.

The likely favourite is likely to be Airport Captain, who won this event in 2013 and broke the track record.

Mark Wallis sends a strong team with Blackstone Marco, the track’s Cesarewitch winner, Vanfrenchie and Blonde Razor.
