Jim Bolger's long-term absentee Parish Hall may be delayed in his comeback once again.

Bolger had hoped to get the 2011 Dewhurst Stakes winner ready in time for the Dubai World Cup on March 30 but that is now in the balance.

Parish Hall missed the 2000 Guineas and Derby last year due to a leg infection and ended up absent for the whole season.

Bolger told The National: "We are a little behind with him. We had a slight setback just before Christmas and he missed a couple of weeks work.

"At the moment he would be only a 50-50 chance of making Dubai."
