Legendary jumper Altior is out of danger following a severe bout of colic which had left him critically ill.
His trainer Nicky Henderson broke the news on his Unibet blog, saying he was over the worst and ready to return to Mick and Chloe FitzGerald who were looking after Altior in retirement.
The two-time Champion Chase winner has spent nearly two weeks in equine hospital after falling sick with colic. He had to have part of his intestine removed in the first of two surgeries.
