Acambo will miss the Irish Independent Arkle Challenge Trophy at the Cheltenham Festival after suffering a season-ending injury.

The seven-year-old had been as low as 8-1 for the two-mile feature but he has been ruled out by trainer David Pipe.

“Acambo has a slight stress fracture of the pelvis and is now out of training this season. He will therefore not run in the Arkle,” read a statement on www.davidpipe.com.
