Prague has Epsom target following Lockinge defection
'He just had a temperature and he will be fine and probably be back cantering tomorrow, but he just can't run and you can't take a chance with a temperature, not in this league anyway,' said Cunha.
'We've taken two out in the last two weeks already like this and it's just one of those things and bugs go around at this time of year, but he will be back.'
Prague holds an entry for the curtain-raising Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot next month, but the Phantom House Stables handler is first eyeing getting the five-year-old back in action in the Betfred Diomed Stakes on June 7 before loftier assignments are considered.
Cunha added: 'He will be fine and we might get him out at Epsom on Derby day in the Diomed.
'We'll probably go to Epsom and then we'll take it from there. It's frustrating for a small yard to miss such a race as the Lockinge, but it is what it is and there's nothing we can do.'
Cunha is also looking forward to new recruit Valley Of The Kings hitting the track having arrived in Newmarket from the handler's native South Africa.
He said: 'He's unraced and he looks like a lovely horse and moves nicely.
'We've had him going up Warren Hill and he arrived pretty fit, so we hope he will be out in the next four weeks or so.'

Merchant camp planning to stick to Goodwood route
'It's really exciting and as we know it's pretty stiff form,' said Harry Herbert of owners Highclere Thoroughbred Racing. MERCHANT becomes our 12th Royal Ascot winner! The son of Teofilo storms home to win the King George V Stakes with Tom Marquand in the saddle for trainer William Haggas 🏆 Many congratulations to all of his owners 👏🏼#HighclereRacing #RoyalAscot — Highclere (@HighclereRacing) June 19, 2025 'I'm a great believer in you never say never and if you have the entry then you can consider all options, but I couldn't envisage him running in the King George unless Calandagan suddenly couldn't go and a couple more fell by the wayside. 'If you had Aidan O'Brien's dual Derby winner leading the betting, then that's something that might lead to another conversation but for right now the plan is to go to Goodwood.' With King George thoughts on the back burner, Merchant's route is likely to be as previously outlined, with the John Pearce Racing Gordon Stakes at Goodwood on July 31 setting up a possible visit to York during the Ebor Festival. Tom Marquand aboard Merchant after winning at Royal Ascot (John Walton/PA) Herbert added: 'The plan is to go for the Gordon Stakes and play it one race at a time and if he happens to win there and depending on how he comes out of it, we'll probably then head to the Great Voltigeur (August 20) and take it from there. 'He's a high-class colt and like all these horses, it will all depend on how they develop on during the season and fingers crossed he's going to be a pretty important beast.'

Lazy Griff not guaranteed to run again before Leger bid
Charlie Johnston's charge has finished behind dual Derby winner Lambourn at Chester, Epsom and the Curragh this season and may yet have to come up against him at Doncaster. His third in the Irish Derby was the opposite of his runner-up finish at Epsom, where he was handy throughout, as this time he was outpaced before flying home to finish third. 'It was quicker ground. William (Buick) jumped to go forward and he just couldn't go the early pace on that ground,' said Mike Prince of owners Middleham Park Racing. 'He travelled sweetly at Epsom, but he just couldn't lie up with them and it wasn't until he hit the rising ground that he absolutely flew home. So the Derby form was upheld, but it happened in a very different way. 'It was a strange race to watch as coming round the bend Lambourn looked in trouble, but I think he fools you as that's his racing style, he's just tough and reality has shown he is a very good horse. 'What we do next is an interesting one as obviously the St Leger is his main target for the rest of the season. We're coming into the height of summer and Charlie reiterated he wouldn't want to run him on fast ground again. 'He's in the Grosser Preis von Berlin on August 10 which is normally run on good ground so if we did have a run that would be the most likely as the Great Voltigeur is a bit close to Doncaster. But we're not adamant that he needs to run again as he's done Chester, Epsom and the Curragh which is tight enough with three tough races. 'The Leger is definitely his number one target and if he runs before then we'll see. William said afterwards that his Derby run was no fluke and he's a proper Group One horse.'

'If you want to go and play somewhere else, you know where the door is'
Former Manchester United defender David May speaking on The Devils' Advocate podcast about summer transfer activity: "I really like the signings we have made so far. [Matheus] Cunha is a fantastic player. He is a Manchester United fan so he is already in love with the club. When Eric Cantona played for Man Utd, he changed the way we played. I'm not saying Cunha will do that, but he will bring that little edge, which Eric had as well. He can do things that other people can't and hopefully Cunha can follow in Eric's footsteps. "[Bryan] Mbeumo would be a brilliant addition. Rasmus [Hojlund] struggled last year at times playing centre-forward on his own, it took its toll on him. He does need help and Mbeumo is a top player. The fact that he doesn't want to go to any other club is a bonus for Manchester United because you have players that want to play for this club. It is one of the biggest clubs in the world and to say you've played for it is something special."Get news notifications on your clubOn Alejandro Garnacho: "I want all the good players to stay at Manchester United but it comes down to whether they themselves want to play here. If you want to go and play somewhere else, you know where the door is. The manager will make the decision on Garnacho, on Rashford, on Sancho. If you don't want to play for this club, you shouldn't be at the club. These fans will back you 100%, but as soon as you start drifting, well, I wish you well."Ruben Amorim will be judged by the way we play. We played really well against Villa and City last season. There were six or seven really good games where we thought, this is it. This club needs European football. It's tradition to play in Europe so we want that, and to get a trophy."The main thing for us is to start playing the way Manchester United play, and that's attacking. Goals have been a problem and if you take Bruno [Fernandes] out of the equation, who knows where we would have been. The addition of three or four players and the club will be in the right direction."It is a tough start to the season, but bring it on. The Premier League is not easy at all but we don't have to worry about Europe as well, we can concentrate on each game as it comes. It doesn't matter who it is, the main focus for Amorim now is to get as many points on the board as possible and get back into Europe."Listen to May in full
