Maguire, who famously struck for his boss Donald McCain on Ballabriggs in 2011, suffered a fall at Catterick, with resultant news from scans suggesting he may be on the sidelines for the world’s greatest steeplechase for the second successive year.

The news adds further to a “frustrating” season for Maguire, who was forced to miss the Cheltenham Festival through suspension.
