The 2000 Guineas winner lost his unbeaten record in the premier Classic when he came home last, having refused to settle from the outset.
Godolphin's colt has already been ruled out of the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, but still holds entries in races like the Irish Derby at the Curragh and the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood.
When asked about future plans, trainer Jim Bolger said: "We'll play it by ear. It was only a slight concern how he came out of the race, but he's very well."
The Coolcullen handler will still send a strong team to Ascot.
He said: "Rehn's Nest will definitely go for the Coronation Stakes. We'll Go Walking is a possible for the Ribblesdale, and Heart Focus will probably go for the Albany. Tobann will go for the Sandringham."
Stablemate Saburo, who was so impressive on his debut at the Curragh in March, is sidelined for a few months.
Bolger went on: "Saburo suffered a bit of a setback and will be off until August or September. It's nothing serious, but we want to give him a bit of time."
