Gordon Elliott could be on the lookout for two jockeys on Thursday, after both Jack Kennedy and Sam Ewing were stood down at Cheltenham on Wednesday.
Kennedy only recently returned from his sixth broken leg on March 3 and had his first winner five days later.
He had six rides on Tuesday and had a second and a third from three mounts on Wednesday before failing to come out for his ride in the Cross Country Chase, a race which Ewing, due to have three rides tomorrow, also did not ride in.
Kennedy is scheduled to partner the favourite, Teahupoo, in the Stayers’ Hurdle on what will be day three of the Festival.
Elliott said: “Jack is sore. He thought it wouldn’t be fair, he wouldn’t be able to do the horses justice. We’re hoping he’ll be OK for the morning. I presume he’ll need to pass the doctor.
“Sam is very sore and has gone to get checked out.”
