Albert Einstein, who was likely to have been a leading contender for the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, will miss the meeting.

The colt has reportedly sprained a joint and the setback will keep the talented juvenile on the sidelines.

The son of Wootton Bassett won on his debut at Naas by a length and a quarter and then stepped up in grade to win the Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh at the end of last month in taking fashion.

A statement on Coolmore’s social media stated: “Group 3 Marble Hill Stakes winner Albert Einstein unfortunately will not run at Royal Ascot due to a sprained joint. He will have an easy three weeks.”
