Articulum plans on hold due to injury County Cork trainer Terence O'Brien has been dealt a blow with the news that his useful bumper performer Articulum is unlikely to run this season. The Definite Article gelding last appeared on the racecourse when competing in the Grade One Attheraces.com Champion INH Flat Race at the Punchestown Festival. Fancied in some quarters on the back of a couple of wins at Naas and Limerick, the six-year-old failed to make a significant impression when finishing towards the rear behind Blow By Blow. Articulum was far from disgraced, though, and there would seem to be much to look forward to with him over jumps - especially as he started off with a point-to-point win in March of 2015 at Liscarroll. However, O'Brien said: "Unfortunately, he's probably out for the season. "He got a slightly sprained suspensory and he's unlikely to be back in time."
