Cirrus Des Aigles will not run in the Longines Hong Kong Cup at Sha Tin on Sunday after suffering a setback.

The Corine Barande-Barbe-trained six-year-old sustained a tendon injury during light work on Thursday.

A statement issued by the Hong Kong Jockey Club read: "Cirrus Des Aigles, a declared starter in the Longines Hong Kong Cup, has been found to have a left fore tendon injury. Accordingly, Cirrus Des Aigles has been withdrawn from the stated race."

Barande-Barbe said: "It's disappointing to miss the race but he is not right and will need a rest.

"I think it is not too serious and you will see him again next year, I hope.

"We had to stop now to ensure things did not get worse and we will give him the time he needs.

"I would love to come back to Hong Kong. I very much want to win here."
