Limestone Lad to miss Navan on Sunday

Limestone Lad is coughing and will miss his intended prep race for the Cheltenham Festival at Navan on Sunday.

James Bowe’s prolific winner was due to run in the McCabe Builders Boyne Hurdle but the trainer’s son Michael explained: “He is coughing. He was due to do a piece of work on Tuesday morning. I just hacked him up and giving him a canter he just started coughing so we stopped immediately.
