The Willie Mullins trained Chacun Pour Soi has been withdrawn from this afternoon's Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham on veterinary advice.
This leaves just five runners to line up for the coveted prize following yesterday's defection of the reigning champion Altior
Joe Chambers, racing manager for owner Rich Ricci, said: “He’s just got a bit of pus in a foot. It’s a 24-hour thing.
“It’s disappointing, but what can you do?” Defi Du Seuil is now the 2/5 favourite to win the race.
Another Willie Mullins trained horse, Mister Blue Sky (vets cert), is also a non-runner today in the Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle.
