Gordon Elliott's charge is out for the season.
County Hurdle ante-post favourite Campeador won't race at the Festival after connections announced today he won't run until the summer at the earliest.
The JP McManus owned 5yo was as short as 8/1 with Bet365 after only a last hurdle fall denied him victory in a competitive Fairyhouse handicap in December last year, his first run since falling at the last when mounting his challenge in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham last March.
McManus' racing manager Frank Berry, said: "He won't be going over and the next time he'll race will likely be in the summer or autumn. He didn't get badly injured at Fairyhouse or anything like that but it was a horrible fall and these things take time to get over. At least he's still in one piece."
