“BigG- Great field rule out of Cheltenham”
Thanks for that Jack, it’s a big blow to me that, he was my star horse in
Bobby’s Ten To Follow, and has managed to hit the deck on his only 2
outings this year. I really like this horse, I hope he comes back sound.
Bob, can you let me know the position with Great Field in this competition.
I stuck him on yesterday (14th) at 18.38 and Jack let me know at 18.39 that
he’d already been ruled out of Cheltenham. I don’t know what time Willie Mullins
made it public that he was a non runner, but it was obviously before I put him
in as my selection for the Champion Chase. I see the report in the Racing Post
was at 18.16, so obviously the decision was announced in the afternoon.

I’m assuming, or hoping, that having picked an already declared non runner that I
get to reselect another in his place.
