Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore outlined their ambitions to "reach even greater heights“ after being granted a joint-training licence at Scotland's most successful jumps stable.

The move comes as Russell celebrates 30 years with a professional licence, a period in which she has saddled more than 1,000 winners from her yard in Kinross, Perthshire, including two Grand National victories with One For Arthur in 2017 and Corach Rambler in 2023.

Scudamore trained in his own name for 16 years before first linking up with Russell, the partner of his father Peter. He has been her assistant trainer for the last two seasons, and his backing has allowed the stable to expand by 20 per cent.

Keeneland Phoenix Stakes (4.00) favourite Gstaad has been declared a non-runner for Saturday's Group 1 at the Curragh, which has led to his Aidan O'Brien-trained stablemate True Love being cut to 1-5 for the first domestic Group 1 of the season for juveniles.

The Coventry Stakes winner was off colour after his final workout on Friday, and O'Brien warned he was unlikely to contest the Phoenix.
