The Willie Mullins trained novice chaser Cilaos Emery may not run in Cheltenham having pulled a muscle while schooling at Navan Racecourse last weekend.
Cilaos Emery emerged as a leading contender for the Arkle Novice chase at next month's Cheltenham Festival with an impressive deubut over fences at Gowran Park on Thyestes Day in January.
That was the horse's first racecourse appearance for over a year.
Willie Mullins says he will give the horse seven days rest in an attempt to recover from the pulled muscle but if he is not right at that stage they will have to abort their Cheltenham plans.
