  Smart sprinter Came From The Dark has been ruled out of the Qipco British Champions Sprint. A Group Three at Sandown in July when taking the Coral Charge, the Ed Walker-trained gelding was a general 20-1 shot for Ascot next month. However, Walker reports the five-year-old to be finished for the season after undergoing surgery on an injury. He said: “He got injured in the Palace House, it was a strange injury. We did all sorts of diagnostics, he was lame after that race and we couldn’t find a thing. “We eventually found a very small ligament injury in his hock, the vets did a tremendous job of getting him right – so much so he went to Sandown and won a Group Three there.                      Andrew Nelis racing
