Michael Winters hopes to have Chatham Street Lad fit for Aintree after ruling his stable star out of Cheltenham.
The Cork handler has run out of time to prepare his 2020 Caspian Caviar Gold Cup winner for the Festival, after he knocked himself in his box just before he was due to run in the Red Mills Chase at Gowran last month.
The Ryanair Chase had been Winters’ preferred race from three options at the big meeting. He will now focus on getting him ready for either the Topham Chase or the Randox Grand National at Aintree next month.
