Prince Of Scars Misses Thurles The eagerly awaited Chasing debut of Prince Of Scars this afternoon will not now take place. Trainer Gordon Elliott has been forced to withdraw the 6-y-o due to a stone bruise. Owners Gigginstown House Stud will not be too bothered as their other runner, Alpha Des Obeaux, in the opening contest at Thurles this afternoon is now quoted by bookmakers as 1/2 favourite to bounce back from a disappointing debut over fences when last at Tipperary three weeks ago. Prince Of Scars holds an entry in another Beginners Chase at Punchestown this Saturday.
