Dubai Prince set to miss Investec Derby

Dubai Prince has suffered a setback in training and will miss both the Qipco 2000 Guineas and the Investec Derby.

One of the big hopes for Godolphin this season after winning both his starts at two for Dermot Weld, Dubai Prince has reportedly been diagnosed with a hairline fracture of his right ilial wing and will require time off.

Racing manager Simon Crisford told www.godolphin.com: "It is a big shame as he had been shaping up nicely this spring.

"He will now need a few weeks off but he should be fine for later in the season."
