Far From Trouble put down

FAR From Trouble has been put down due to complications linked to a leg infection suffered last month.

The Christy Roche-trained chaser travelled over to Cheltenham with a view to running in the William Hill Trophy at the Festival, but plans had to be scrapped after he picked up the troublesome infection.

Winner of last year’s Galway Plate, Far From Trouble had been well-fancied for the John Smith’s Grand National prior to the injury, having been allotted 10st 10lb in the weights.
