Sous out of Galway Hurdle, but will be back

Pique Sous will be prepared for next year’s Royal Ascot after a season-ending injury ruled the grey out of the Galway Hurdle.

Willie Mullins’ Queen Alexandra Stakes winner was ante-post favourite for the Galway feature, and was also strongly fancied for the Betfred Ebor at York next month, but he will now be put away until the new Flat campaign.
