Promising hunter chaser Tim French, an 11-2 chance with bookmakers Sean Graham for the Christie's Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham, will miss the Festival according to his owner Michael Futter.
Futter said today: "The horse is being aimed at the Fox Hunters at Liverpool in April. Before then he will run in either a hunter chase at Down Royal on March 17th or at Gowran Park the following day."
The owner has backed the horse at 1000-1 to win the 2002 Tote Cheltenham Gold Cup.
