"He pulled a muscle schooling in Navan the other day. That's why you didn't see him this morning," Mullins told assembled press at his yard. "We'll have to wait and see how he's going to come out of it. If he doesn't come out of it in the next seven days, then I think we might have to draw stumps for Cheltenham. That's a disappointment, but when you school them you take your chance."

Full statement from WPM.

That doesn't sound too positive to me

Always the way when everyone is on one antepost isn’t it

Thanks TR clarifies matters
I’m no expert either as Faugheen said but there appears a 7 day window of hope
So let’s adopt PMA !

Kalashnikov still going here according to Amy Murphy (via GG.com)

I'l be taking him on big time!

Careful charlie.

Mullins sounded particularly defeatist about his novice chase prospects in the video. I don't think I'll be looking for an alternative

[boopa]

Mentioned handicaps for Real Steel, probably his level.

This could hurt a tad, CE i have in a lot of multis but have a few with LR and lalor thank feck

[Istabraq]

Starting to look like Le Richebourgs race to lose this...

[Ribocco]

Bet 365 taking a stance on Duc De Genievres. Still 16's NRNB.

Picked a bad day to be out of the office.

Fingers crossed CE picks up in the next week but I'm not hopeful.

Won't be covering with DDG as just don't think he's good enough.

Cilaos ruled out. A ligament issue rather than a muscle problem.

*I've been told this but struggling to find confirmation

**Unfortunately we schooled Cilaos Emery at Navan on Sunday and what we thought was a pulled muscle turned out to be a ligament problem. He won't be travelling."

This is painful.

Always at least one from the Mullins yard every year that hits the bank hard, so probably shouldn't be surprised anymore. Definitely won't stop me backing them mind

It's my worst non runner for a couple of years. A sickening feeling.
