Lake Misses Fairyhouse Date Watson Lake´s return to action has been put on ice for two weeks due to a bruised foot. The eight-year-old was due to return at Fairyhouse on Sunday but was not among the entries for his intended engagement in the Normans Grove Chase. On the sidelines since being cast in his box after winning at Naas in November, he is now set to make his comeback in the Byrne Group Plc Tied Cottage Chase over two miles at Punchestown on February 5. 'He´s got a bruised hind foot. He was due to work yesterday morning but we found he was lame,' said trainer Noel Meade. 'It´s not serious and it shouldn´t hold him up for too long. 'He´ll now go to Punchestown for the Tied Cottage race in a couple of weeks.' Watson Lake is generally available at 10-1 for the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham in March. ? PA Sport
