Horse Racing: Times to miss Festival

Dibea Times misses next week’s Cheltenham Festival, but Malcolm Jefferson is hopeful that his stable star will run at either Aintree or Ayr next month.

The five-year-old, who was bought in France by Ray Anderson Green, has been suffering from a "deep-seated" lung infection which has prevented him from showing his best form this season and he has been undergoing a course of antibiotics as a result.
