Thyme Hill withdrawn from Stayers' Hurdle due to muscle pull

Thyme Hill will miss next week's Paddy Power Stayers' Hurdle after suffering a minor but untimely setback.
Trainer Philip Hobbs confirmed the seven-year-old will not be able to take up his engagement at the Cheltenham Festival because of a pulled muscle - but is "very likely" to recover in time for the equivalent Grade One race at Aintree next month.
