A decision on Florida Pearl's participation in the Punchestown Heineken Gold Cup on Wednesday has yet to be made, trainer Willie Mullins said today. The 11-year-old landed the Punchestown feature last year but has failed to win this season.
A total of 18 horses remain in the Grade One contest after today's forfeit stage including top novice Beef Or Salmon and Francois Doumen's back-to-form chaser First Gold.
Cheltenham Gold Cup third Harbour Pilot is still in the race along with the Ted Walsh-trained duo Commanche Court and Rince Ri. There are four British entries. They are Cheltenham disappointment Hussard Collonges, Killusty, See More Business and Young Spartacus.
