Midterm may still make the Investec Derby line-up despite being found to have sustained a sore hamstring when a disappointing favourite for the Dante Stakes at York last week. The choicely-bred colt, impressive in his previous success at Sandown, had gone into the Dante as the ante-post favourite for the Derby, but failed to fire and came home fifth under Pat Smullen.At first, nothing came to light to explain Midterms performance, but further veterinary examination identified a problem, revealed on Monday night by Lord Grimthorpe, racing manager to the colts owner Prince Khalid Abdullah. He was sore in a hamstring behind. Its not insurmountable, but at least it gives us some explanation as to what happened, he said.We have to wait quite a few days now. Weve got to be sure and from that point of view, its got to be up until the last minute. Hes not a great worker, so its going to be hard to gauge how he is going, but he will certainly have to be sound before he even starts to work again.If were lucky, and he comes right, he can do enough work to satisfy the trainer that he can go. If he doesnt, then theres the King Edward VII to fall back on.Grimthopre admitted to taking some relief at having identified an issue that might explain such a lacklustre performance behind Wings Of Desire in the Dante.It was a bit mystifying as we were very hopeful of a big run, so to find a hamstring... in the whole scale of things it could have been a lot worse, he said.Midterms trainer Sir Michael Stoute confirmed that he was still to rule Midterm out of the Epsom reckoning, while the stable could yet be double-handed in the race with Newbury maiden winner Ulysses, whose dam Light Shift won the Oaks, also still in contention.I want to give him more time to see how he comes out of that race and then make a decision, but its a possibility, he said.

Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. Clubs are queuing up for Benji Marshall.Brisbane reserve grade clubs, that is.But the veteran playmaker is still backing himself to cement a spot in the Broncos top 17 next year.So much so that he has refused to answer calls from prospective reserve grade sides - for now.Marshall, 31, admitted there was a fair chance he would play in the second tier Queensland Cup after signing a shock one year Broncos deal for 2017.In a queue behind Broncos halves Anthony Milford and Ben Hunt, Marshalls best bet appears to be selection as a bench utility.Otherwise a lengthy Queensland Cup stint awaits.However, Marshall said he had begrudgingly refused to acknowledge calls from reserve grade clubs - so far.The phone hasnt stopped going, said Marshall, who officially began pre-season training with the Broncos this week.I have not answered the phone the last six weeks which has been pretty hard.My immediate goal is to not play there (Queensland Cup) but there is a fair chance that could happen.We will have to see where the Broncos want me to play, and I have no idea where that is.But my goal is to be in the best team and in the top 17 again.The former Kiwi captain has overcome hamstriing issues that sabotaged his 2016 season with the Dragons and threatened to leave him on the NRL scrapheap.ddddddddddddMarshall said he now wanted to make the most of his lifeline from Brisbane master coach Wayne Bennett.Even if it meant biding his time in reserve grade.I am looking forward to enjoying a season, Marshall said ahead of his 15th NRL season.One of the key things that Wayne said was that he wanted to see me with a smile on my face again.I want to have a fun year.If it is playing in that (reserve) grade then so be it.But I am professional and pretty competitive - I am not going to die wondering, put it that way.Marshall hopes that approach will help spark a return to the side-stepping, flick passing youthful version of himself.Looking back, since I have been a halfback I have always been worried about organising everyone else, Marshall said.I want a break from that and just to worry about myself for a second.People ask why I made this move. I have made a lot of decisions to please others in the past - this one is for myself. ' ' '
