Fear Not, fifth in the Klawervlei Majorca and the Vasco Prix Du Cap, has had a throat operation.

Adam Marcus said: “She was showing signs of having an entrapped epiglottis which means she could choke up in her races.

“There are some suitable features for her at Kenilworth over the next few months so I won’t be taking her to Durban. On her day she is only just off the best although she does need things to go her way.”
