James Bowe’s prolific winner was due to run in the McCabe Builders Boyne Hurdle but the trainer’s son Michael yesterday explained: “He is coughing. He was due to do a piece of work this morning. I just hacked him up, was giving him a canter, when he just started coughing, so we stopped immediately.

“He’s on treatment and as a consequence he won’t be going to Navan on Sunday. The vet says I should have him back in two weeks.”
