Nicky Henderson has ruled Jango Baie out for the rest of the year meaning he is set to miss the King George, a race he was beaten less than a length in last season when finishing fourth. The Grade 1 Aintree winner suffered an avulsion fracture in a hind leg and is progressing with treatment.

The Willie Mullins trained 4 year old gelding Love Me Tender (GER) made a very favourable impression on hurdles debut with a 20 length victory at Listowel. Sent off favourite for this year's York Ebor Handicap where he could only manage 10th of 22, he was sent off as a 4/9 favourite today and scored in emphatic style causing the bookmakers to cut his odds for the 2027 Supreme Novices' Hurdle.

Stable Managers considering The Jukebox Man for their eight selections have been handed an important update ahead of the new season. Trainer Ben Pauling has confirmed that The Jukebox Man has picked up a knock while building up for the new campaign and is expected to miss the first half of the season. Last season's King George VI Chase winner had undergone a wind operation following his run in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and had initially been expected to return in the Betfair Chase at Haydock in November. Those plans are now on hold while he undergoes rehabilitation. Encouragingly, Pauling has indicated that the setback is not career-ending and connections are looking forward to his return in due course. With Stable Stars selections locking on 1 November, this is significant information for managers weighing up whether to include The Jukebox Man among their eight horses.
