Freddy Head is resigned to the fact Solow will not return to the track this season.

The six-year-old has won his last 10 races, five of which have been at the highest level.

However, he has not been seen since winning at Chantilly in March having picked up an injury following that run.

"I saw him three days ago, he seemed well, the vets are very pleased so we'll cross our fingers," Head told At The Races.

"We won't have him this year I think, we'll try for next year, we won't race him this year.

"We'll try for Dubai. He's a great horse and has kept his enthusiasm.
