Uimhir out of RSA Chase

Uimhiraceathair has been ruled out of next week's RSA Chase at Cheltenham after suffering a setback.

The 8yo was due to defend an unbeaten record over fences, having registered successes at Gowran and Navan, and had been as short as 10-1 for the Festival after impressing in a gallop at Leopardstown last month.

Trainer Willie Mullins said: "He's lame and he's not going to Cheltenham."

Henderson duo primed

Nicky Henderson reported Long Run and Punchestowns to be ready for Wednesday's RSA Chase at Cheltenham.

The trainer told talkSPORT: "We had a scare with Punchestowns last week when he had a bruised foot which held him up for a couple of days, but I don't think has affected us dramatically.

"Long Run is something else. I'd like to think he might be something very special, but we'll find out next week."

Rite heads Neptune

Ante-post favourite Rite Of Passage is one of 34 acceptors for the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham on Wednesday.

Dermot Weld's charge is among a strong Irish contingent, which includes a six-strong team from Willie Mullins.

Leading the British team are three from Nicky Henderson's Seven Barrows stable - Finian's Rainbow, General Miller and Quantitativeeasing.
