Subsequent X-rays revealed a chip in his left fore knee, but trainer Charlie Appleby is confident Emotionless will make a "full recovery".

"Following his disappointing run in the Dewhurst Stakes yesterday, Emotionless was found to be lame this morning in his box. He was immediately X-rayed and a chip was identified in his left fore knee," Appleby told www.godolphin.com

"I understand that its removal will not be a complicated procedure and we expect him to make a full recovery.

"We will be looking towards the trials in the spring, all being well."
