Ralph Beckett has confirmed Angel Bleu will miss the Qipco 2000 Guineas this weekend in favour of a trip to Paris for the Poule d’Essai des Poulains.

Speaking at Ascot on Wednesday, Beckett said: “Angel Bleu certainly won’t run (this weekend). He is going to go to France. He is in good shape. It is just the ground.
“There is the slight element that the form book indicates all his best form is round a bend. There is an element of that as well.”
