Sizing John sidelined for Cheltenham

Meath jockey Robbie Power will not be on board Sizing John in the Cheletnham Gold Cup next week.

The Jessica Harrington-trained Sizing John has been ruled out of the showpiece of the Cheltehham Festival due to injury.

Following routine work yesterday at the trainer's Moone Commonstown stables it emerged that Sizing John had a hairline pelvis fracture.

Robbie Power tweeted: Heartbreaking to get the call from @Jessica_Racing this evening with the news the Sizing John won't return to challenge for his Gold Cup next week. We're all very disappointed but don't worry, he'll be back!
