Monterosso will not defend his title in the Dubai World Cup after the Godolphin horse was declared a late non-runner.
The six-year-old claimed the 10-furlong prize in the hands of Mickael Barzalona last year and the pair had been due to go for glory once again.
However, Monterosso is reported to be lame and will now miss the race.

Rain pours it on in Mile.

Paul Hanagan and Soft Falling Rain defied stall 13 to win the Godolphin Mile at Meydan.
Sent off the 9-4 favourite, the Mike de Kock-trained four-year-old was trapped wide throughout and Haatheq got first run on him in the straight, with his unbeaten record looking in serious danger.
However, despite connections harbouring stamina doubts, Soft Falling Rain quickened up very impressively and Hanagan drove him home for a superb victory by three-quarters of a length, with a further length back to Moonwalk In Paris

Levitate lifts Lincoln prize.

Levitate just denied Global Village and Brae Hill in a thrilling finish to the William Hill Lincoln at Doncaster.
Last year's winner Brae Hill appeared set to enter the history books as a dual victor under Tony Hamilton but Levitate, having his first start for John Quinn, came with a late lunge under Darren Egan to deny the Richard Fahey-trained seven-year-old, who had also finished second two years ago.
Brian Ellison's Global Village absolutely flew home under Martin Lane and nabbed Brae Hill on the line for second. Completing the places was Brae Hill's stablemate Justonefortheroad.
The well-fancied Eshtibaak held every chance heading into the final furlong but was run out of it close home.
