I have no idea what happened, but Au Quart De Tour lost his life in the last month. He held several Cheltenham entries until the final declaration stage, so it must have been in the last fortnight.
If this is the case then its an Unlucky few weeks for Ricci. Ah quart De tour; long dog and pont Alexandra. Au quart de tour looked to be a decent prospect. Point to point winner and rated 139 after three hurdle runs.
