Trabolgan will miss Cheltenham Gold Cup
Trabolgan a rising star for Nicky Henderson will miss the Cheltenham Gold Cup after being ruled out for the rest of the season.The decision was made following the problems that surfaced after his brilliant victory in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup.
Connections decided to play safe and rest the seven-year-old, who carried top weight of 11st 12lb to victory in the big handicap chase at Newbury a month ago.
After consulting at length with Trabolgan's owner Trevor Hemmings and the vets, we have decided to give the rest of this season a miss," said trainer Nicky Henderson.
"It is precautionary more than anything and luckily he is a young horse with half his career still ahead of him.

"We re-scanned him and there is the most discreet evidence in one of his legs that there could be something amiss, so we decided not to take any chances"It is inconsequential at the moment but could lead to a more significant problem if we did not take the safer route and we are just looking forward to his return in the autumn."
