IKTITAF OUT FOR SEASON
By Nick Robson, PA Sport
Noel Meade has ruled his Champion Hurdle hope Iktitaf out for the season after he suffered a nasty cut schooling on Friday morning.
The six-year-old was expected to make his seasonal reappearance in the Maplewood Developments Hurdle at Punchestown this weekend.
Iktitaf won the race last year and went on to push Brave Inca all the way in the December Festival Hurdle at Leopardstown.
He was in the process of running a huge race in the Champion Hurdle last March when he fell at the third-last flight.
"Iktitaf got a cut schooling this morning," said Meade.
"Paul (Carberry) came in to school him and he suffered a nasty overreach.
"It's a bad cut. We sent him off to hospital to have it stitched - it's definitely a bad cut.
"It's put paid to his season I would think."
