Derby favourite Luxembourg has suffered an injury scare in training, leaving a question mark over the colt’s participation at Epsom next month.
Trainer Aidan O’Brien said the horse, who finished third in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket last Saturday, was lame in his off hind leg after exercise on Friday.
O’Brien expects to give a further update in the next few days after investigations to identify the root of the problem.

He said: ‘We’re not sure why just yet but wanted to let people know with the Derby coming soon. In a couple of days we’ll hopefully know a bit more and will issue a further update.’
