Drever Out

Inglis Drever has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a tendon injury.

The Howard Johnson-trained seven-year-old was on course to bid for back-to-back wins in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle, but will not now be seen until the autumn.

'He is out as he has injured a tendon,' said owner Graham Wylie.

Inglis Drever landed the Ballymore Properties Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury in November and is thought to have picked up the injury around that time.

He subsequently fell when already looking beaten in the totesport Long Walk Hurdle at Chepstow.

Wylie continued: 'He has had a lot of hard races and we think the problem might have surfaced after the Newbury race.

'That would explain why he wasn´t travelling very well in the Chepstow race and that run could have aggravated it even more.'
