Gordon Elliott has withdrawn his runners at Limerick today, with three of his four intended horses reported to be coughing.
Championship-chasing Elliott had withdrawn Monkstreet (reported coughing) from the opener, Out Sam (coughing) and General Principle (lame) from the veterans' chase while his bumper runner Fourneux D'isanka is out, also reported coughing.
Elliott registered six Christmas winners, including a Group 1 win with impressive Zanahiyr, but also suffered some notable reverses with disappointing efforts from Abacadabras, Samcro, Presenting Percy, Ballyadam and, less so, from Fury Road while well backed favourite Indigo Breeze also disappointed badly.
