Two of this afternoon's favourites at Gowran Park, Mick Jazz and Mall Dini have been withdrawn.
Mick Jazz has been taken out of the Red Mills Trial Hurdle due to a temperature leaving six runners to contest the Grade 3 event.
2016 Pertemps Final winner at Cheltenham Mall Dini was expected to finally open his account over fences in two and a half mile Beginners Chase at Gowran but the Pat Kelly trained gelding has sustained a stone bruise.
Davy Russell who is riding high in the Jockey's Championship was to partner both horses.
Champion Trainer Willie Mullins is likely to benefit from the two withdrawals as he will now saddle odds-on favourites in each event, Up For Review in the Beginners Chase and Lagostovegas in the Hurdle.
