Cheltenham Festival: Fox Norton ruled out

Paul WiltshireComment(0)

The Ryanair Chase has suffered a huge blow as the second favorite – Fox Norton has been ruled out.

The eight-year-old will miss the rest of the season due to a suspension injury.

Colin Tizzard, Fox Nortons trainer, will still have a runner in the race after announcing that one of his star horses in the form of Cue Card will run. The 12-year-old is a previous winner of the race having won back in 2013.

Last year’s winner Un De Sceaux is now the firm favourite for the race following Fox Norton’s withdrawal.
