Bravemansgame not permitted to run at Aintree after Financial Conduct Authority intervention

Bravemansgame will not be permitted to run in Thursday’s Alder Hey Aintree Bowl Chase after an intervention from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

The Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up, who finished second to Willie Mullins' Gallopin Des Champs, had been cleared by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) to contest Thursday's Grade One heat, with the eight-year-old switched into the sole ownership of Bryan Drew on Tuesday, having previously been owned in partnership with John Dance.
