Solow has left Freddy Head’s yard in Chantilly to recuperate from a frustrating injury and will miss Royal Ascot.
He knocked his leg on the gallops on March 16, but initially the injury was not considered an issue by the trainer.
The next day the leg was found to be inflamed and Solow was forced to miss the defence of his Dubai Turf crown at Meydan two weeks later.

Solow still has not fully recovered and will not contest on June 14 the Queen Anne Stakes, one of five Group 1 races won by the six-year-old grey gelding last season.
"Solow has left to recuperate at the Haras de Saint-Leonard, following the blow he took to a hind leg during exercise. He will return to Freddy Head when he has totally recovered," racing manager Pierre-Yves Bureau told the Racing Post on Tuesday.
Godolphin's Promising Run will make her European bow this season in the Musidora Stakes at York on Wednesday.
Saeed bin Suroor’s filly twice ran in to Polar River on dirt at Meydan during the winter, finishing over 17 lengths adrift of Doug Watson’s filly in two mismatches.
Promising Run, who will once again be ridden by James Doyle, will carry a 4lb penalty for winning the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes in September, before she was beaten by subsequent English 1,000 Guineas winner Minding in the Fillies’ Mile in October.
Promising Run faces six others, including So Mi Dar, the daughter of 2010 Dubai Sheema Classic winner Dar Re Mi and sire Dubawi.
So Mi Dar is trained like Dar Re Mi by John Gosden and owned by Andrew Lloyd-Webber, the composer.
So Mi Dar advertised her claims as a possible English Oaks filly when she emulated her mother by beating the colts at Epsom in the Derby Trial last month. Humphrey Bogart, who was second that day, won a Derby Trial at Lingfield on Saturday and Viren’s Army, who was third that day, beat Godolphin’s Linguistic at Chester last week.
“Hopefully, we can get to the Investec Oaks,” Simon Marsh, racing manager for the Lloyd-Webbers, said.
“Her mother, Dar Re Mi, was a mile and a half filly, maybe best over 10 furlongs, and Dubawi gets them over any distance so there is no reason why she won’t stay the Investec Oaks’ trip.
“So Mi Dar is very much like her grandmother, Darara, who won the Group 1 Prix Vermeille. I don’t see why she should not go on any ground, barring extremes.”
