Rosallion will miss the Qatar Sussex Stakes at Goodwood on Wednesday due to a respiratory infection.
Runner-up to Notable Speech in the 2000 Guineas on his three-year-old debut, the Blue Point colt went one better in the Irish Guineas before turning the tables on his Newmarket conqueror when landing the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Richard Hannon’s colt was again set to clash with Notable Speech, who disappointed at the royal meeting, and the St James’s Palace runner-up Henry Longfellow in the Group One feature on day two of the Qatar Goodwood Festival.
However, he was officially declared a non-runner shortly after 11am on Tuesday, with a respiratory infection put forward as the reason for his defection.
