‘And so it begins’

ANTE-POST punters have been thrown into a state of panic five months before the Cheltenham Festival after another big hope was ruled out.

An Tobar, who had been as short as 12-1 for the Ballymore after being backed from 25s, was scratched due to a tendon injury.

Purchased by powerful owners Robcour, the Henry de Bromhead-trained An Tobar was one of the talking horses of Twitter among ante-post punters.

A 20-length winner of a point-to-point in January this year, the five-year-old looked to be heading for big things under the top trainer.

But Rob Acheson of Robcour told the We’re Going Chasing podcast their future star was officially out through injury.
