Ante-post favourite Hemingway will miss the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster on Saturday.
The colt's trainer Aidan O'Brien said yesterday: "Hemingway is non-runner on Saturday. He had a little bit of heat in his hock at evening stables today. It's nothing serious but we've decided to leave him off for the season."
O'Brien had 12 of the 20 entries in the Group One contest at the five-day stage and his plans are beginning to take shape.
He said: "Freud is a probable runner. King Charlemagne, Darwin and Bonnard are all possibles.
"But like Hemingway - Beckett, Mozart and Black Minnaloushe have been left off until next season.
"We have plans for the others who aren't going to Doncaster. King's County is going to France on Sunday week for the Criterium de Saint-Cloud, Honours List goes for the Gran Criterium in Milan on Sunday and Turnberry Isle goes for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile."
Freud, a full-brother to Giant's Causeway, finished a two-and-a-half-length fifth to Tobougg in last Saturday's Dewhurst Stakes under Jamie Spencer.
The jockey was clearly impressed and O'Brien added: "Jamie liked him a lot and he said they wouldn't beat him again."
