Intersky Falcon will miss the AIG Europe Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday, writes Alan Magee.
Jonjo O`Neill reported today that the six-year-old `didn`t scope clean, and is just not quite right. Hopefully it`s nothing major.` A few of O`Neill`s horses have been off colour recently including fellow star hurdler Rhinestone Cowboy.
He added, `Plenty of them are just not firing now, and it has been that way for a little while really. He`s just got it now, so we`ll take our time.`
Intersky Falcon had been 2/1 favourite for the AIG with Paddy Power, and is vying for Smurfit Champion Hurdle favouritism with Rooster Booster.
