Ante-post favourite Hemingway will miss the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster on Saturday.
The colt`s trainer Aidan O`Brien said: 'Hemingway is a non-runner on Saturday. He was slightly stiff behind after 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 'iron horse' 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.'
