Access likely to miss Festival Lenny Lungo`s promising chaser Direct Access looks likely to give the Cheltenham Festival a miss but will return for a spring campaign.Direct Access won his first two novice chases but fell when favourite for a similar race at Cheltenham and most recently was beaten 22 lengths into second place by Ifni du Luc at Haydock Park.The Royal & SunAlliance Chase at the Festival had been pencilled in earlier in the season, but Lungo said: 'We are giving him a break and it is unlikely he will run at the Festival.'I will have another chat with his owner Mr (David) Stevenson but we will probably wait until we get some good ground again and then look for a decent race or two.'
