Frankel suffers setback

Henry Cecil’s unbeaten colt Frankel has picked up a “superficial” injury when working in Newmarket on Thursday morning.

Winner of all nine of his starts to date, including the 2000 Guineas, St James’s Palace Stakes and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes last season, he was due to make his comeback this term in the JLT Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on May 19.
