Rebel’s Romance will miss his intended outing in the 155th Grosser Preis von Baden on Sunday due to unsuitable ground at Baden-Baden.
Charlie Appleby’s stable favourite is a regular visitor to Germany, having won four Group Ones there already.
He was due to clash with William Haggas’ globetrotter Dubai Honour, last year’s King George winner Goliath and the German Derby winner Hochkonig, who is also a non-runner.
He could still have his next outing in Germany, however, with a trip to Cologne for the Preis von Europa a possibility.
“All is well with him, it’s just the ground, it’s going to be on the slower side of good,” said Appleby.
