By Jessica Lamb racingpost.com WEAPON'S AMNESTY, as short as 12-1 for the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup with Blue Square, will not run this season after suffering a recurrence of a ligament injury, according to trainer Charles Byrnes.
Weapon's Amnesty has not run since landing the 2010 RSA Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, and was considered a leading contender for the 2011 Gold Cup.
However he sustained the ligament injury in the RSA and was then given a long rest by Byrnes and owner Michael O'Leary.
Weapon's Amnesty returned to work at Byrnes' yard this summer, but the trainer reported at Naas on Sunday that the Gigginstown House Stud-owned eight-year-old will now miss this season as well.
He said: "You can rule him out for the season. Solwhit will be out for a beginners' chase in about five weeks though."
