Parachute's emphatic Newmarket victory has put Ed Walker in a quandary as he assesses Royal Ascot options for his Derby entry. Walker admits 'Plan A' for the son of Sea The Stars involved a trip to Lingfield for this weekend's Derby Trial - a race the Lambourn trainer won last year with English King, who was then fifth at Epsom. But those ambitions were abandoned when Parachute could manage only a disappointing - albeit close - third on his first run of the season in a 10-furlong Redcar handicap.
