Sagitta 2000 Guineas favourite Hemingway will miss Saturday`s Prix de la Salamandre at Longchamp, it was revealed today.
The unbeaten juvenile, trained by Aidan O`Brien, is set to have a week off due to an infection.
O`Brien said today: 'Hemingway has an infection in a hock and his blood wasn`t right.
'He`ll have a week off now.'
However, the Ballydoyle trainer will be doubly represented in the Group One contest by Railway Stakes winner Honours List and King Charlemagne.
Michael Kinane rides Honours List while Olivier Peslier steps in for the ride on King Charlemagne.
A total of five will go to post following today`s final declaration stage.
They include Brian Meehan`s impressive Prix Morny winner Bad As I Wanna Be, the mount of Gerald Mosse.
The other British raider is Mick Channon`s promising prospect Tobougg (Craig Williams), winner of his debut race at York last time.
Criquette Head`s Wooden Doll is the sole French runner.
A Listed-Race winner on her debut, she chased home Ascension in Group Three company at Deauville last time.
Jeremy Noseda`s Man O`Mystery (Peslier) will be the only foreign runner in the Group Three Prix du Prince d`Orange on the same card.
