Champion sprinter Battaash is not certain to make Royal Ascot after suffering an injury while wintering at Shadwell Stud.
The seven-year-old sustained a small fracture which has set him back a month and put in doubt his attempt at repeating last year’s victory in the King’s Stand Stakes.
However, he is back cantering and it is hoped he will go back into training with Charlie Hills in a couple of weeks’ time.
