Kalpana is likely to head to the Tattersalls Gold Cup after a dirty scope ruled the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe favourite out of her intended return in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Middleton Fillies’ Stakes at York on Thursday.

Andrew Balding’s Group 1 winner was scheduled to start her campaign on the Knavesmire before marching on to the Curragh’s Pretty Polly Stakes in June, but she will no longer be following the ‘Bluestocking route’ to Paris following the small setback on Tuesday morning.
