Cue Card back in training

Cue Card is back in training and pleasing trainer Colin Tizzard after undergoing a breathing operation.

Tizzard opted for the surgery after thinking long and hard following his star performer’s weak finish that cost him victory in the William Hill King George VI Chase on St Stephen’s Day.

That proved to be his last race of the campaign as he sustained a stress fracture of the pelvis in February, which ruled the eight-year-old out of the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup.
