No Leopardstown trip for Altay

Malton trainer Richard Fahey today ruled Altay out of the valuable Pierse Hurdle at Leopardstown next weekend.

Altay had been quoted at 16-1 by Paddy Power for the €130,000 handicap on Sunday but Fahey said: “He won’t run. He’s grand, it’s just very soft over there so we’ll wait for the ground for him.”
