Makes it all the more frustrating to have an ante post on Cue Card for the Ryanair. I suppose he still might run if they feel he might struggle in the GC on soft ground, otherwise it is another non runner bet looming.

Am gutted. Had him in a Ryanair/Arkle Double with Champagne Fever @ 8/1. Lost the 8/1 coz didn't have a single bet on CF. Going to try to cut my grief by placing a bet on CF for Jewson to try to get decent odds on him. Maybe swim against the tide and go for a CF in Jewson and Felix Yonger in Arkle double. O woe is me.

Bad luck lads. If it's any consolation, he isn't the only highly touted horse that will miss Cheltenham. Sadly, the attrition rate is remarkably high....about 30% I believe.
