Triple Time will miss the Qipco 2000 Guineas after meeting with a setback, trainer Kevin Ryan has announced.
The Frankel colt enjoyed a progressive juvenile campaign, winning two of his four starts, culminating in victory over Hafit in the Listed Ascendant Stakes over a mile at Haydock.
He worked well under Andrea Atzeni at Newmarket before racing on Tuesday and was as short as 20-1 for the first colts' Classic back on the Rowley Mile on April 30.
But Ryan tweeted: "Unfortunately we have to say that Triple Time has met with a small setback which rules him out of the 2000 Guineas.
"It is a long season ahead and we will look forward to seeing him back in action."
