Pittoni gets all-clear for Aintree

Pittoni could make a welcome appearance at Aintree next month after fears he had suffered bad injury at Leopardstown on Sunday proved unfounded.

The talented six-year-old was dismounted by Barry Geraghty on passing the line after winning the Ballsbridge Hurdle.

Pittoni soon made a swift recovery, however, and was given a clean bill of health by a vet on Monday morning.
