Noland sidelined for the season

Noland, one of the leading fancies for the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival next month, has been ruled out for the rest of the season with the recurrence of an old leg injury.

The nine-year-old won both his starts this season - a Grade 3 at Down Royal before defeating The Listener in the Grade One John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown.
